Glad to hear all is well Marilyn!

I'll take some pictures of my seedlings later on today. I did notice yesterday that one of my seedlings was also having babies Lovey dubby

Well you did ask for pics...... (bare with me as I'll be editing this post as I add pics so that I can add details with them)

My 3 trays of seedlings. Ignore the last row that's half cut off at the top of the 3rd pic, these are just odd spares.

My 5 faced semp. It's coloured up and survived several hail storms. Tough love and all that!

This is the seedling already sending out offsets!

Below are some of my favourites

Thumb of 2013-06-05/Eviesmummy/a405a8
This one is a beautiful bronze colour, the camera didn't get the colour very well

Thumb of 2013-06-05/Eviesmummy/e65b47

I love this grey one.

Thumb of 2013-06-05/Eviesmummy/1ae1e7

The tips of this one are far darker than the camera has captured them, I think that the form is quite interesting too.
Thumb of 2013-06-05/Eviesmummy/731215

This is the one that I hoped would be a miniature when the seedling were first developing. It's still tiny so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Thumb of 2013-06-05/Eviesmummy/4ac93b

This one has a pretty muted sort of hue.

Thumb of 2013-06-05/Eviesmummy/19fef4

I like the contrast of the lower leaves with the upper ones, and as itsa twin it shows up really well.

Gorgeous! They're such individuals. It's amazing to me (my first year growing from seed) how different they are.

Pia, they could still change, you won't know for about 1 1/2 years. When was the last update on their progress?

Kate, my favorite is the grey one. Though all are wonderful. Smiling

Were these your own seeds that you bred from two of your plants? x

The term GDIL is used? GrandDaughter in Law? or GoodDaughter in Louisiana?
