Hi Anthony: What's the name of this one? Aside the high bud count, I notice the strong stem reinforcement at the point of pedicel attachment--Very interesting!

A seedling trumpet, with just a number-came from a mixed batch[more than likely with '[greisbach background]-but as you say,good example,.,.quality of stems was very high this year,..,but i'll get them next year

Anthony-not sure of the background you suggest. I think this seedling is worth going one step further with cross pollination even without known parentage.

Undoubtedly it will-The owner gave away cattle farming-for lilium farming, up in the NW of the state..I still have a few more photos, but they just wont load

Anthony, all your pictures are exciting! I just put Hobart on my personal weather map for hourly updates. I see you have some nice weather coming--a little breeze maybe--but nice.

Great weather, still sewing lilium seeds[i push it],.,Thanks to the incredible people on these threads and their seed packs,i will have many great seedlings to come,.,a couple of my old pets have me worried and i have concentrated on them a lot ,this weekend,..,so if i seem slow to respond, please understand,.,

Lorn, if you are looking at the vertical ribs on the stem, with each seeming to end at a pedicel, that's a bit of fasciation going on.

Sometimes you can get a build up of malware and spyware using up you bandwidth connection that slows down things to the point of not working properly. Of course, I am sure you have an always running anti-virus program like Norton, Avast, AVG, Trend Micro, etc.), but have you done a manual sweep lately? How about with your anti-malware program?

Leftwood, that was my first thought too. But then I took another look and had second thoughts pondering it since everything else seemed so normal--its probably just a case of accidental near over culture and a bit of fasciation; I agree.

Doesnt hurt to ponder!!

Just remember, better shots than these will be on the Claremont Flower Show website soon

For anybody interested,'the flower show website is up, bigger than ever[with 4 videos],..,go to : Claremont Flower Show gallery 21-Anthony

Very cool. Was that you walking about in couple of those videos?

Great videos, and pictures. Love your Grafitti. I assume the winner Molly is your Molly?

Nice job Anthony, nice job!

I thought the arrangement with the two little green bunnies, carrots and rabbit trap was really well done. Looked at all the stills too. Really nice show! I got to the web site by going to: www.tasblooms.com then clicked 'gallery' on the left, then scrolled down the yearly menu to 2012.

I saw me, in a very happy state, looking very enthusiastic[sunday]walking in the 1st vid[but because my computer is so crappy, i didnt download any others]

Molly is my Molly,Polly[owning a 'Starburst Sensation ] aged 2-and that is her'parsnip drag-car' in the childrens section..
I dont care how you get to the site, Rooster-as long as you liked it!!!
We have many years of galleries there- and trying to get better each time

I loved it!!! Everything was beautiful...

The Children's and Blokes (Men) Only Sections are my favorite.

The spider, the ant, the onion motor vehicle, the parsnip race car, helicopter with floats, airplane, and remember folding old Reader's digests and spray painting them to look like Christmas trees? The variation on that sure brought back memories... although I never could grow godetia well.

this is the video for the Children's and Men's section

BTW, the obsession with "May" in the Men's only section made it extra jovial. Were you all trying for kudo points with the judge?

I really liked seeing all the energy that was so obvious in all the displays let alone the lilies. You have a real group of enthusiasts to work with Anthony.

Thanks for great comments!! THe judge,Rick, was May Backhouse, so you hit the nail''right on the head'',.,.,.Did you pay particular attention, that i was disqualified, didnt place, but still was a champion in it because my exhibit was childish,.,..,[all in good fun],..,What amazed me, was 'Bluey' Zanellas rabbit exhibit.,.Bluey is about 85 years old[Former best concrete finisher in the world] and moves at the speed of a 3legged sloth[not 3 toed], even slower[,..,He turned up the best exhibit,where everyone was trying to steal his rabbits....a very [big ]hearted man

They were all so great!!! I know it was a wonderful.
