JungleShadows said:There are a couple yellow ones showing up in a batch from a 'Jungle Shadows' X self seedling with a tint of yellow. Those might be a "Golden Anniversary".
I think Golden Jubilee is a better name although it does sound like something from the other side of the pond. Americans don't do jubilees like the English do!

OK now I have the names, just have to get the plants to behave. the big red one is from 'Killer' X 'Jungle Shadows' and is a blood red 8" rosette so that will probably be 'Big Six-O'. It looks like a bigger, darker, redder, nicer-formed version of 'Oh My', if that makes any sense. Toby took back a few rosettes to test at his place too but it is still under number, not a name yet. The yellow ones are small seedlings yet. I had one yellow that I marked in the 2013 group but it is going to be a slow grower. The yellow out of 'Jungle Shadows' X self has a lot of purple in it too but it's a good grower. The two gold seedlings are from self-pollinating that plant.
