Kevin,
Only listing 5 does unfortunately mean ignoring some truly amazing plants. Those who caught this thread right away may have noticed I broke the rules by accidentally listing six plants, which I edited back to five within the first day. You might be interested to know that the sixth was 'Patent Leather Shoes', such fantastically dark color on that one and the bright green tips really set it off, a strong grower and particularly resistant to cruel summer sun.
Judging by what glimpses I've seen, your unreleased seedlings are certainly poised to change the game. Much as I love the grandiflorums, none I have at the moment are refined enough to be at the top of the heap yet, the toothpicks would certainly have made the cut though.
'Pink Lotus' fits somewhere in my top ten.
'Gisela Volker' and 'Adamina' are news to me, 'Adamina' looks very similar in photos to 'Casa Blanca', very attractive coloration.
I am thrilled to be collecting seed from 'Silver Song' and 'Bros' this year, both are excellent selections.
Thanks for sharing your top five Kevin, that was a fun read!
-Sol
