Here is Adeline I purchase
From JT. This one I Thought
was a Quad Bloom and was
Hanging on the plant forever.

So after Dissecting the bloom
I discovered it had 6 skirts on
this one.

What we all need to remember,dare I say it,is that doubles/triples etc.are all actually deformed flowers.
That is one reason we see so much variation between flowers.There are even some that bloom singles and doubles on the same plant.Rosalla,Double Delight and Knightii come to mind and there are others.

60,62,63 etc.You ladies are just teenagers.I will hit the big 70 this year.

Watch for a new forum tomorrow if time permits.I want to start one on hybridizing.I'm thinking flower parts,pollen,where to get it and where to put it.What to expect and what to do with the seed when you get them.I am hoping for participation from some others on this.

Yeah JT!!! party at JT's house!
You sure don't look or act it! Do you remember vaguely
my mother coming with me at the few roundups I attended?
Well, she just turned 89 and still works in the yard.
here is a pic of her and the ribbon origami chime
i gave her. a lady in town makes these beautiful
things. yes, there are some beautiful things that
do not grow in the dirt!

Wonderful, Happy Birthday, JT's Mom and many more birthdays to come.
Sweet Lady, JT.

Charleen,that is weeds mother.I met her at a swap and she is really a nice lady.

Not much blooming right now but here is Karoline.

Here is Knightii single and double same plant

Here is a pic of Rosalla

Some of these names I've never heard of and they all are just gorgeous. I want one of every one but alas I live in WI which means they come indoors in winter and I'm running out of room.

My hubby says he will draw the line of us sleeping in the car in winter to keep the dumb plants warm.

The NERVE he's got!

Cherie..........GET THOSE PLANTS.........after all, you know someone who has a humongous greenhouse that would care for them for you over the winter.

And you want to do a GPS road trip anyway, don't you???? LOLOL

oh yeah you right I do know someone with a large greenhouse and I bet she'd even let me come visit them once in awhile.

I do want to try out the GPS dh got me for Christmas but NOT till this blasted snow is GONE and alas they're calling for snow tomorrow. Depending on who's giving it, ds's phone weather says 9-14", hubby's paper says 5-9"and I say

I want a serious talk with Mother Nature if she would just quit avoiding me.
