A few more new seedlings blooming today. I love it when I see scapes emerging from deep within the fans! It makes my day to know more are to come.
Here is 3 more new seedlings (and a repeat of more blooms of a 4th one):
DDD21 (Ruffles A La Mode x Gram's Dream) - This is one I have anticipated from seeds I received from Cindy (hemlady). It had a bit of a hard time opening this morning (as did all of them) because of the cooler night temps:
This morning's bloom:
Before sunset bloom:
Another seedling bloom is ZZZ37 Another of Cindy's seeds. Galaxy Explosion x Lily Munster. Second year of blooms.
Late afternoon:
And once again another of Cindy's seeds ZZZ47. Galaxy Explosion x Lily Munster sibling. This is the first bloom from this seedling.
Late afternoon:
The Galaxy Explosion x Lily Munster cross foliage is clean. No sign of rust on any of them. The Ruffles A La Mode x Gram's Dream does show some thrip and rust damage. Not bad, but it does have some rust on the leaves.
The more I see this 2nd year bloomer seedling grow, the more I really like it. I remember this one bloomed and bloomed for me last year and then re-bloomed. I didn't record any rust on it and am not seeing any rust on it so far this year. Ironically, I wrote down "not pod fertile" in my notes, so I need to verify that issue this year and try to set some pods on it. The height is what I prefer. The red color with bright yellow throat is another thing I like about it. It's not a fancy face, but it sure shows up in the garden. This was my first one to bloom last year.
