That really is a beautiful gift plant, Virginia -- congratulations!
I love the appliques and am hoping to make some crosses this year with a few of the TET ROSE F. KENNEDY and TET EMERALD STARBURST seedlings I've purchased over the last couple of years. I'd really love to see what seedlings those crosses might create. So I've been collecting some appliques over the past few years:
ROSEATE STAINED GLASS - So far this one is my favorite -- probably because of the huge greenish throat.
ORIENTAL IMPRESSIONS - Another favorite that first bloomed this last summer
COSMIC BLAST - Love it!
LIGHTER THAN AIR
HEAVEN TO ME - Pastel in our early summer heat
FABERGE EASTER
SPACECOAST BEHAVIOR PATTERN - Both blooms were on the same plant, and I'm sure heat made the difference
POINTS OF PRIDE
SPACECOAST SEA SHELLS
VIOLET STAINED GLASS - Unfortunately I gave this one away before I came up with my latest applique/TET RFK seedlings project...
AERIAL APPLIQUE
BELLA ISABELLA
NEW PARADIGM - Another one I gave up... drat!
And so, of course, I've ordered a few more this year!
