You are so welcome. I someday would like everyone to do the same for me. We don't always see what someone else will and it will really help me. You have some wonderful seedlings BTW. Big Grin Big Grin

My PC is making some really strange noises. Hope it doesn't quit on me before I finish this post.
Been working on it. This thing has a personality of its own.

Stephanie, isn't it great that everyone is so helpful in ATP? Best site I've seen, and I perused
several before deciding to join. I will be glad to help you in any way I can, although my
knowledge is limited; still learning myself. However, someone comes along to fill in the
gaps for me, with extensive information. Just love that.

You are so right. Others can see details that need attention that I for one often miss.

Lots of nice stuff to work with, I also like the fact that you have a lot of large and ex-large seedlings, I will start working with several 6-8" flowers this season.

Fred, with you trying big ones and me trying small ones, it
will be interesting to see how each works out. Especially when
the percentages lean toward large or small in the background
as well. Anyway, I am going to try some where the background
leans toward small, and see.

I have done some small ones in the past, I like the little ones because they have a tendency to have lots of blooms and good branching. I have one seedling that I am watching now thats 3.5 inchs, its a two year and has a great scape and lots of buds. (LILLIAN'S LYING EYES X TET PEPPERMINT DELIGHT) Have no idea where the small size came from.

Wow Fred, now that's the look I am after, just bigger. Big Grin
Many like the small ones for the reason mentioned above. They look very
nice in front of beds.

Now if there could be a way to transfer the branching and bud count to
a larger one and still look the same, because that one is just perfect. I
really love the eyed-edged ones, especially in purple and white.

And it has a green throat too. Think that creates a three-dimensional
effect to the blossom, and a recurve. I could just go on and on. Green Grin!
