Ginny and Karen!
I was happy that this bloom is staying small. Of course Little Jet Setter is a mini at under 3". And the pod parent is a cross that turned out to be a small bloomer at somewhere around 4". This bloom is 3-1/2". Not quite a mini, but a smaller bloom. I've become fascinated with small and miniature bloomers. And it seems to be a fast multiplier (to some degree) with already 4 fans. I rarely get any seedlings multiply that fast after germination. The seedling is just under 1 year old. I have a couple more seedlings growing from the same cross. Because the parents look so different from each other, I thought it would make for an interesting cross. And I am curious to see if it remains a late season bloomer.
One of my goals is to grow more late season bloomers. I miss the flowers this time of year, but our winters are typically very mild, so I would like to continue to see blooms into August, September, October, and November (if possible).
