Very nice indeed.

They are really nice. Are they a parent of some of the seeds from you?

Do you have a picture of Tallboy?

It is the parent of seeds sent to you ,Oystein ..I must search for Tallboy, It was used by 'Joe Hoell' in breeding 'Golden Beauty'.

Very interesting work Anthony

A noid LA that opened recently and noid oriental:



I bought Strawberries and Cream with some trepidation as I was afraid it might be another of those bunch-headed disappointments, but it's nice. Pedicels are long enough and it bears secondaries; lovely colouration:

Lisa's 'Awesome X Emerald Angel'

Nice one, Anthony! Sure doesn't look much like 'Awesome'. That bloom looks HUGE!

A fairly good OT at Glenbrook


and a row of hopefuls at Glenbrook


Consider yourselves an elite group![Rodrigos doesn't allow many photos to be taken out there!]

The bloom has a green tinge, [Green and black backed] it is massive Connie[from seed of course]

I've got some of that same seed started here too. How many seedlings of those do you have? I can tell by your shirt sleeve, it's very large!

I have about 6.. That is the 1st blooming so far

I think I have about 7 or 8 survivors so far from 20 seeds I planted last spring. Keeping my fingers crossed!

AAAAAH, Things are going 'belly up' here ..supposed to be 30+ tomorrow .."great'

29 Celsius right now, but it feels hotter. Still, it's been a much cooler wetter season than last year.

This one has me scratching my head:



It's an 'orphan', meaning at some stage it became seperated from its label but was among my seedlings and survived some terrible neglect during the bad years. I would have rescued it from a pot full of weeds but goodness knows how long it had been in there. In the past I was breeding Chianti and Vivaldi with my 1c davidii hybrids... I'm wondering if this is a result of that, but am also wondering if I acquired some other spotless upright pink to use in breeding and have just forgotten.

Short story - I don't know if it's one of mine or a registered cultivar I forgot I acquired.

Very pretty. I haven't seen one that flat faced before.

Thanks Teresa

Oystein ,Heres your Wh Henryi seedling , [sorry, no Blackheart , I was mesmorised by the heart of , X-Phi] and got confused , but this is a brilliant seedling

Oystein's Sargentiae X OT seedlings

Lisa's Pink Trumpet from seed [obviously]

Nice uniform pink on Lisa's. Only the slightest hint of veining. Good release.
