Lynn,
Here's the picture of the pot of seedlings from 'Helen Payne' x 'Polly Bishop'. These are from a pot that germinated early so they are now residing on my kitchen windowsill garden. Not enough light to suit them but they are growing. These would be close to the size that I would think of rowing them out and I may end up potting these up and separating them into several pots before spring. Although they all came up green you can see bit of red-purple coming on a few already. This gives me hope for some nice colored seedlings. Of course mom and dad are quite dark and there could be some bear blacks in there too.
This next week looks scary for weather here in Oregon. I'm thinking there will be many pots in the garage this week! So, don't wish you had them germinating just yet. It could be a good thing that yours haven't germinated yet.
Had a judges training session on species iris yesterday in Portland and sat next to George and Carla Lankow. Carla had bought plants from Helen, including buying hybrids of mine when I was but a pup. When we met the first time she said "You can't be the same person as the semp Kevin Vaughn as i was buying your plants 40 years ago!". She is the breeder of the Sedum 'Red Rover' that i gave to Cynda and you. I used it a good bit in crossing and have a pot full of seedlings from it too. You know me, I can't help myself.
Kevin
