Always amazed at how big some seedlings leaves get. This is Betty Sturley x Jim Ault dark back trumpet.

Joe - I agree some get huge. The tetraploid Aurelians & OT's are the biggest for me and my L. henryi seedlings look similar to the one you showed.

Here is my seedling pots moved out of the basement (moved out 3 weeks ago) to the sidewalk on the side of the house where they are being acclimated to outside conditions. They are on the east side of the house and don't see direct sun in this location. These are all Aurelian & OT seedlings and the fastest growing ones that I couldn't manage well inside where the leaves were running into the lights. You don't see the spindly slow growing ones still languishing under lights inside in this picture. The wide lead on the left edge of the seedling group is actually a small hosta growing in the bed against the sidewalk. These are growing in 4" square pots with about an inch between pots in each direction. My biggest concern is them getting too much water with all the rain we have had. I haven't made a plan yet of when I will plant them out but I do expect to have them out of pots and in the ground before winter.

I put a pop can next to some of the larger leaves for comparison.

Peter Rabbit was one of my favorite books in the world growing up, probably because we were both mischievous.

Very interesting version of Timezone! I have a giant stem from my original bulb and this is a first year stem from division or a bulblet I assume. Either way timezone is a pinkish color and this is opening with a hard picottee on pure white. Not sure if it is a sport or random on the bloom. There is another bud on this stem that bears watching.

So now it is open! Here's is the opened weird one vs. an opening "normal" Timezone floret.

If you look there is a flower on the large stem that is similar to the smaller one. Must be a weather thing because the other blooms look normal.

Crab legs anyone? These unopened anthers have spurs on them almost like they wanted to be papillae of the flower. All six on this bloom were like that. The next bloom had normal anthers.
