I have been inspired to also post "baby pictures"! Like Celestialrose, I have been out there in my jammies to take pictures! My kids think I'm weird, but isn't that so typical! I also keep a notebook of stats. I'm new at this, so not a hybridizer by trade. I need to study some terminology this winter, but for now, I take a lot of pictures & scribble notes for future reference/possible registration. It's like Christmas time knowing some of last years seedlings are about to bloom for the first time in their lives. I've had interesting results- from quirky & interesting to beautiful, like a box of chocolates. Here is a sample to share!
This oddity is "Ultimate Illusion x Multi-ring Pileup". It's interesting, so curious to see how it looks in the future. Has a ghostly mark/pattern around the throat, like a glaze.
"Nile Jewel x Pigment of Imagination" - pretty to me! Very sturdy in hot afternoon sun too.
This pretty little thaaaang is "How Beautiful You Are x Multi-ring Pileup". 7" bloom. Looks like a cascade? Maybe?
