Thanks Margaret! I can't wait to see the seedling photos! A 10 inch bloom would make me pass out!

Bailey is home from the vet, and she's been running around like normal. Anyone know where the off switch is on a Lab? She really needs to rest, so this is going to be a LONG day!

Below are my 3rd & 4th seedlings to bloom, and I was SO HAPPY when I saw them! DH has named the first one Pinkilishous, which cracked me up! It sounded rather girly, especially coming from him! I seriously doubt I spelled that right, but it's made up, so who cares? It was so funny when I told him that I had 2 new blooms! He walked faster than normal out there, took one look, got a little excited and proclaimed, "It's naming time!!" He then spit out the word Pinkilishous! I couldn't stop laughing! A little later I asked him what he thought the other one should be named, and he said that he hadn't really looked at it all that closely! Just when I thought I was making progress with him.....

Anyway, I'm just happy that I got a pink seedling. I took the photo early this morning, and it wasn't totally open yet, but I was happy! The second one stunned me by being a double! The pollen parent, Condilla, is a double, but I just thought it would be something horrible, and brown, when it bloomed!

Sue Rothbauer X Catherine Woodbery (aka Pinkilishous). I really love this one!
