Sweet! They are both excellent shades of orange! The apricot looks very pretty with the slightly curled petals... and I like the size of Orange Jester!

Keep 'em coming, Jetak! We can't get enough of hippi pictures, and it's especially nice to see new varieties... new to us, anyway!

I adore the apricot color!

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!

That Apricot Sensation would be SENSATIONAL blooming with Exotica and Faro! I want it!

It looks similar to Rilona. I hope my Apricot Sensation will bloom for me right this year, so I can actually compare... I wouldn't be disappointed if it bloomed like yours. :o) But last year, it looked too white (what I could see from the shrivelled bloom), so I will see. I bought it from MZ, so I wouldn't be surprised if it is mislabeled.

I really really want this Apricot Sensation! Can anyone tell me where it might be available? Googling only brought me TyTy and Aaron's Farm which I believe are the same company with awful reputations. I would not order it from them. But I just want to reach out and touch the texture of this...it looks as delicious as fresh peach icecream!

Oh, I mixed up. I bought Apricot Beauty from MZ last year with the bad results. I bought Apricot Senstaion from TyTy (Aaron) two years ago and this bulb has NOT bloomed SINCE. Maybe this year, it will finally give me some blooms. TyTy's bulbs are huge disappointment, so I don't know if I have Appricot Sensation at all. I have a bulb that has that name tag.

Oh dear! So maybe there is no other place to obtain one? Can we find some to import? CHAD is now reaching crises stage!!!!I must, I must, I must find releif!! Santa CLAUS....PACK A BULB FOR ME PLEASE!

If you order $75 from Nature Hills, the shipping is free. Check it out. Why didn't you join my order? :o)

Well, I just don't see Apricot Sensation at Nature Hills. It is not just any bulb but this one that I want. And I Confess, I ordered more from ABC and from Parks "3 for price of 1" sale....I mean, if ABC had to replace the 2 rotten bulbs then I might as well order more to go with them, right? And there were a couple of kinds at Parks I had not played with yet...I think it was Liberty and Candy Floss and Bolero, And I have White Peacock,United Nations and Estella coming from ABC. So you see why I should not order anything but Apricot Sensation if one can be found!

Of course, if you had everything from what Nature Hills offered, you had no reason to order. I really wanted a Ferrari that I never received from a proposed trade, and the Vlammenspel that I have already eyed last year, but it was not worth buying one bulb alone. Now, with the goup order, I am in better shape, so I got both.

Oh, dear. Now I need an Apricot Sensation as well!

jetak, what a sensational color. Thanks for sharing it's beauty!

OK Hopflower, we have a mission! Find and bring home our Apricot Sensations!

Ha! You bet. I am on the hunt now!

jetak, you keep amazing me with varieties I have never seen before. How are you on sharing seeds? Did you pollinate Apricot Sensation?? I think we should have a seed swap this spring!

Oooh, yes, I would love seeds from that. I have not tried creating seeds yet...so far all my flowers have been sold, but I can see what I Can do with pink Surprise. I only have one of it and am not selling this flower! I think I will try it with the "Maybe Faro, Not Angelique". She is a pretty thing!

I think I should have seeds enough for a swap! I've got little pods and big pods growing everywhere! And I'm not even done pollinating! I have several flowers yet to bloom!

I would love to participate in a swap!

I have no problem with swapping seeds - but not quite sure what I have to do. Do I have to list my available seeds on my page?

{{gwi:440512}}

jet-I don't go through the trouble of listing anything I have. I just post what I have available and ask who is interested. I am looking forward to getting some new crosses this spring to share. Today I will plant up some of my first San Remo seeds to see how they fare.

We just do trades here, and then email our addresses and stuff... or do all of it by email... we're casual! :-)

Cindee, I'm STILL waiting for my pods to pop open! They're still green and apparently still ripening! Maybe it's due to my northern climate and light this time of year... you're so lucky.. already planting this year's seed!
