Such beautiful seedlings, everyone! I'm totally impressed!

Here is the seedling that I'm the most impressed with at the moment, although I was slightly disappointed until the rebloom scape started blooming last week. The cross is Liz Salter's EASY ON THE EYES X PARROTS OF THE CARIBBEAN, and it's a small with blooms at 4" and the height of the rebloom scape at 20". Here was its first bloom back in early May. I was not impressed with it but was interested because one of my goals is to get a toothy mini or small.

And here it is a couple of days ago -- Now I love it!

This is seedling from STIPPLED STARSHIP X ALIEN FORCE, now in its second year of bloom. The first picture is from May when it started blooming, and the second is from about a week ago. And I couldn't help myself -- I've nicknamed it "FLOSSING"... And what a difference heating everything up by about 20 degrees makes!

And another seedling I like from the same cross.

This one has a hint or overlay of burnt orange or brown on it or something, so I nicknamed it "LIGHTLY TOASTED." The cross is WICKEDLY WILD AND WONDERFUL X FLAMES OF BEAUTY.

I'm keeping this one for now because it's sort of an unusual color, sort of a goldish green. My camera doesn't really capture it correctly, but it's interesting... SPACECOAST IRISH ILLUMINATION X MAGIC MANDOLIN

Two more from the cross SOUTHWESTERN MEMORIES X RIO FIESTA that I like, especially the second one. They are about a foot shorter than the first one I posted a couple of months ago. And the seeds came from Dot (Ladylovingdove). She has wonderful seeds!

This is another seedling of SOUTHWESTERN MEMORIES X CAN'T TOUCH THIS, and it's a small on a pretty short plant -- so it's a keeper for now. I wonder if next year this will change to normal size for that cross... And again, seeds from Dot.
