Here's an interesting seedling I thought I'd share. First pic is the FFE bloom which made me look closer. There is slight stippling on the outer edge of that feathered eye. Other pics are of a later bloom.


FFE Bloom



Morning



Late afternoon. Seedling TS328 Laura Mast X Yoga Man.

Love the edges and eyes on your seedlings Trina

Thanks TIm! Both siblings have excellent substance too. While most of everything else looks pretty bad at 7:30PM like the first seedling below, these siblings still hold their shape and show nice colors.

A seedling at 8AM

Same seedling at 7:30PM


These Smoke Scream X Westbourne Mom Kirbys's Grape Jelly siblings look great at 7:30PM. They make my day as it's hard to find a purple that can look good by the end of day.

Congrats to all on the beautiful seedlings--really, some of these are definitely breath-taking.

Wish I could remember who I bought the seeds from... Should probably try that seller again.

Karen, it is a looker. 3rd year seedling... I'll see if I can set pods on it.

Other seedlings new to the garden this year

Karen - I love the colors and the shape of bloom on this one!

kousa said:Some mediocre seedlings today.

Just wondering: why is this one mediocre? That huge green throat and yellow eyezone seem pretty cool to me...

I absolutely love this one! LOVE.

@Shive THanks Debra! It certainly improves from last year. I think I had a bag of seeds from different parents other than the stated cross or this cross produces very different looking kids. The cross is Jamie Dockery X Midnight Castle. None of the parents are UF but all the offspring are UFs. Though one thing that resembles the parents is that all the offsprings are purple. I am not sure what to make of it.

Here are the siblings from last year






@MrKGDickie Ken, this seedling's colors are very photogenic with my Canon camera, but in person the colors are faded and not as glowing as the pic depicts. It's also mediocre because the bloom quality is not consistent as it seems to be very susceptible to thrips damage.
