For me at least, with my limited knowledge and experience in growing seedling, the "crap-shoot" is what's fun. You never know what you'll see till you see it. My first two blooming seedlings (and seed-pod bearing to boot) sure made the wait worthwhile. Being the proud "daddy", I love those two babies.
Oh, Hetty, the K's Honeysuckle Rose quit blooming about a month ago. That's the one with the gorgeous seed-pods. She is now forming a brand-new inflo. She's going to be back in bloom this winter. How great is that!
I get a little carried away.
