The initial blooms on Melanie were profuse but a little wimpy. Like... flaccid? (Apologies for word choice).

They blooms do not seem to be sticking around for long. However, after the first flush, we are now into full bloom. They seem more robust.

Melanie was pod parent a few years back, to a handful of seeds. I was really gratified to see it, and I've waited the last few years. Now, I believed at the time that it was a cross I made between Melanie and Superstition.

But. I'm just now wondering if maybe Frank Adams got there first...

This is Frank: Thumb of 2024-05-05/MamaFan/362fc5
This is Seedling I labelled as SuperMel A: Thumb of 2024-05-05/MamaFan/65b6bb

Neither Superstition nor Frank Adams is diminuitive at all. But, the seedling A is. Thumb of 2024-05-05/MamaFan/a91304

She's cute. I like her.
