As I stated in 2019 I wasn't a huge fan of the color or form of Envy Me but I did have one seedling that had a somewhat similar form so I crossed them. Envy Me was the pollen parent. I wasn't planning on sowing the seeds right away but when I opened the pod several seeds had already sprouted. I planted them and I believe all but one survived.

Last year four out of five of the surviving seedlings bloomed. Here is a picture of the pod parent seedling:

And here are the four seedlings that bloomed for the first time in 2021:

I was surprised that I liked the kids more than either parent.
