Beautiful.

Six seeds from this cross will be planted this evening:



Forsyth Flaming Snow pod parent



Twirling Parasols pollen parent

I bet all six will be beauties, Avedon!

Thanks, Barbalee, I just hope all six germinate. One thing I would like to accomplish with this cross is to have a Twirling Parasol with taller scapes. It is registered at 22" and this year we did get some that were a couple of inches higher..I tried crossing it with Lillian's Thin Ice (36") both ways but those crosses failed. So with FFS (32") maybe the children will be that tall, Oh, the name is Twirling Parasol, no "s" on the end.

Keep us posted, Avedon! I'd be interested to see if the tall trait continues.

I would love it if the seedlings came up and managed to bloom next year, but when I did crosses a bunch of years ago, I seem to remember it was two years before blooms showed up. So it's a waiting game.

Hard to believe this came from Emerald Starburst x Waxen Splendor. Love the pale lavender and green throat.


RFK x Blue Crystal


Another from Sheika x Dr. Stump. Set a pod on this with pollen from The Sting!


Focus on fusion x Blue Crystal

Oh, oh, oh, Ken!

I made this unusual cross since the two were growing next to each other.
Rocket Science x Neusa Bergemann
It is a small flower about 4 inch.

Nice seedlings everyone, just a few reblooming here.

And reblooming is a great trait, Fred!

This evening, unless we get lucky with a good rain, these four seeds will be planted:



Forsyth Flaming Snow pod parent



Ocean Spirit pollen parent

Whoa! That last one is so unusual. Might be a good one to consider for a future introduction. Very nice!

Looks like things are really winding down with the seedlings. A few reblooming.

This has bloomed non stop since the early May. I have two clumps of it so some
of the new scapes my not be rebloomers. It is still the best dip I have ever used for patterns.
HB00-13 LILLIAN'S LEGENDS AND LIES X COSMIC AFTERSHOCK 5.50"

This is also reblooming now and will make a seed pod everytime you put pollen on it.

This has been a big disappointment, have had it in the hybridizing area two years,
its pod and pollen fertile has a great scape but its still two fans and no rebloom.

Told you it had a great scape

Wow, that is a spectacular scape with really nice branching. Sorry to hear that it is a slow increaser.

The last two seed pods opened yesterday and these were planted last night:

There were two seeds from this cross:


Dragonfly Dawn


Willow Dean Smith pollen parent

Very nice, Avedon!

Fred, I'm really liking Emma's Curls X Carnival in Oz. I'd definitely be lining up to buy a fan if you ever introduce it. :hurray:
I also really liked your seedling
