Lyle....I have just finished perusing this thread, and enlarging all your lovely seedling pix. Let me comment first on your photography. Sensational! All the pix are terrific. We should all bloom such beautiful seedlings as the one's you have presented here. My fav's are:
INFINITY & BEYOND X JUDGE NANCY (spectacular, intricate, eye zone)
#13014
SC IRISH ILLUMINATION X FLORENCE DENNY(Look at all those teeth! A beautiful, lovely cross. I always learn a ton of info from reading this Forum. I have FD in my garden, and will use it now in attempted crosses for both size and with some of my newly purchased toothy plants. Thank-you for sharing this info, Lyle. I am inspired by this cross for many reasons. Also, I like the coloring of 'American Freedom X FD'.
I see how hard you are working to get outstanding edges on your patterned eyes from the progression of your seedlings from one year to the next. James Gossard commented on his 'Dragon Fang' that he could always see the pattern in his head but not till Dragon Fang came along did it become a reality for him. My guess is that we all have that special picture in our heads. Thank-you for sharing all your lovely seedlings with us. Keep'm coming.
