I love the way this goes from a mellow melon color to orange. Good job Anthony. Is that an Ot hybrid or something else?

Della--Your yellow Asiatic seeding is a real beauty; I like everything about it, especially the foliage. How old is it?

I also liked Ivory Bells by D&C Fielding--wish I could have seen the face view. I've got two sister seedlings, Serena Green X George C Creelman, that look quite similar.

Thanks Lorn and Joe Smiling

This is the 3rd flowering. Two buds first year (and I set a pod on it >>), five buds second (set two *cough* pods *cough* <<), 11 buds this year, and I cut the poor thing down to take it to a show! (Don't tell anyone I torture my babies! Crying )

So it will be a while now until I know what it is capable of as a mature bulb with some decent reserves, but I'd say it's pretty resilient! Anything that survives my 'care' is pretty tough Hilarious!

I've scaled it too, and have a few young bulbs on the way. Some should make small stems next season. I managed to get a couple of seedlings between this and Hornback's Gold and I've put the pollen on L. leichtlinii this year in search of longer, sharper, darker pedicels... but I don't want to lose the purity of colour, flower form and foliage.

I agonised, but am glad now that I cut it. The response has been so positive that I'm going to register it Hurray!

The Ivory Bells stem was really something. Amazing texture inside the flowers, and an overall air of something with orienpet blood, though it was benched as an aurelian - I still have no idea of the real background to it. If I get a chance I'll ask Doug Fielding where he obtained it. There are a couple of pictures that show the flower face in the untitled shots further down the page. One is below a shot of some potted orchids on the right side of screen and the other is a few rows below that beside a stem of L. leichtlinii (another stem I benched.)

Della, do you have a name in mind? Thanks for the tip on the other pics--I see them now.

You maybe should scale the parents too!

---- There you go: it's not the end of the world if you let more than one seed pod grow. Besides genetics (which one can only confirm with time), I attribute this vigor to the young age of the plant and absolutely no viruses, and good care, too, despite your misgivings, Della.

Other of my older seedlings (one being the parent of this one) that had just 3 and 5 buds after recovering from neighbour's glyphosate drift, set a pod each last year and this year had 17 and 19 buds each. They're doing well. No evidence of virus yet, and I am scaling them also. I'd like to register them too, but haven't had much feedback yet as to their worthiness.

A name in mind, yes. Thanks to my 10 year old son! Will let you know. Smiling
