I got an E-mail from Greg, a month or so into my listings about the 3 (New Tangerine Twist X Wild Child) seedlings.
Me and Greg go back several years with plant and seed swaps, I think that he may be a little rueful about giving them away after seeing my pictures.
Just so you all know, I'm sending him half of my 2014 intro "Appleton Sweet Start"
Also some of the seedlings he got out of seed from me in the past have me a little rueful myself :~) so we are even and happy.
I still think about that B-25-a, it was a runt when Greg sent it, I asked him about the small fan by itself, he told me to toss it, well it's a good thing I don't toss un-bloomed plants.
I really don't think Greg ever saw that one bloom, it didn't look like any of the pictures he had shared with me.
I still like it the best after looking at it again in Alexandra's post, just a super nice plant that I hope keeps up with what I saw last summer.
I guess when it increases I better send him a piece back.
I have seen a few pictures of a seedling out of Something In My Teeth, from a buyer that got second year bloom from a cross with Ruffled Strawberry Parfait that had so many teeth it looked dangerous.
I only wish I could get reliable second year bloom, real rare sight here when it does happen.
Someone in a facebook group asked me if I would pay the price that Nate was asking for a single fan, after thinking about it a bit, my answer to him was that I wouldn't sell any of my 3 fans for that.
Venus Envy doesn't take a back seat to anything in that color range growing here now.
Sherm was getting 3 sets of instant re-bloom where he was growing it in Pennsylvania, so he decided to test it where re-bloom is rarer than a 60 degree day in January, sadly I had to tell Sherm that I would be looking towards the next 60 degree day in January in NE, WI, no re-bloom for me.
I hope that you all share pictures when you get bloom, feedback like that can save me years of trial and error.
Thanks all
Ed
