Of the last group, or just in general?

In the last group, I love the ruffly form of the second one and also how the blue color deepens at the base of the standards and fall hafts. The brown beards are a bit weird, but they are certainly different.

People have been trying to put blue beards on yellow TBs for years without quite getting there. The second to last seedling doesn't get there either, it's beards are just powder blue at the end and obviously the falls mostly white. It's interesting to think about how to go forward with it, though.

On the last one, I like the wash of color on the falls right below the beards. Just wish the standards were brighter.

For what it's worth, the last three are siblings.
