Hahahahaha Now we understand why hybridizers charge so much for new intros- WE need to pay for their disappointments!
Don't worry, so far most of my seedlings are just OK, I struck it good with the one I named Patty's Gift - but that was just shear dumb luck. Even then, it's not phenomenal, just a nice seedling.
Besides Natalie - we have the entire summer to "evaluate" (meaning swear at, yell at, smile at) seedlings. The biggest problem I am having with the seedlings is the darn earwigs that are eating my buds. Can't tell if the blooms are truly ugly, or not! ~Jan
