I crossbred "Ambiance" with "Under The Ladder" in March 2011 and I obtained the following - to be continued:

#1 two scapes, 4 and 5 florets respectively.

    The red markings look like flames on snow or ice or, how about Winter's Flame?

    We have a Pool and all cement except for about a 3' border around the fence. I LOVE it without a lawn. We have an outdoor BBQ and Burner fed off the houses natural gas so, I've never got gas for the BBQ! A table with a propane pit in the center. Looks great, Roasts marshmallows and keeps us warm. Outdoor lighting which I love. It looks much richer than we are at night! Oh, I also have an outdoor shower for the pool but, use it everyday!!! So, what do you want pictures of?

    How to design a "thruway" den...

    Q

    Comments (10)
    First, let me express appreciation for all of these gracious replies to our design dilemma! It has been a difficult room for us to figure out, and well, it feels good to hear from others. Miranda Rose -- this room got pulled into our remodel as an afterthought, mostly due to the flooring change. We don't have much of a budget, can do some furniture, paint and window coverings, (3k-ish) but don't have the $$ right now to change the doors (pocket) or slider. We could do this as part of our next project probably in about 2 years though. Would appreciate short term ideas, that aren't throw away with a longer term idea. Felix Pradas-Bergnes - I like your idea, but am sad we'd lose the seating looking outside. Maybe the chairs could be swivels. Do you think it would be strange to end the built in shelving short of the corners? As luck has it, that's where the light switches are. MiaCometLady - this is the layout we originally had, and is sort of our default.... we don't love it but it works at a basic level. All - If we toss out the TV as a needed feature, and focus more on reading, relaxing does this open up more design ideas? Again, thanks everyone!

    Thank you! I cannot answer your question. The siblings are all just in a way or another intermediates. The bulb #19 initially showed 2 scapes, but the first would abort fast after I transferred the pot from the basement to the windowsill where they are being heated from below. #19 to #25 are planted together in a separate, round plastic pot of 4 liters. Now I must wait whether this sibling can produce 4 florets per umbel. Only IF, THEN it is "a keeper".

    Indeed, the pollen donor was "Under The Ladder". My experiences indicate, that the pollen of "Ambiance" is not even fertile.

    The following picture shows...

    Nr.11 (has a subtle fragrance)

    The following pictureS show...

    Nr.11, 12, 14

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The following picture shows... :

    Something mysterious has happened, At the side of Nr.12 there is a hidden daughter bulb in the Substrate - a single particularly brown-pigmented leaf emerged, and together with it a scape with a particular small but particularly beautiful Bloom. I labelled it Nr.12b bcz I have no other Explanation than a so called "Sport" of Nr.12

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The following picture shows...

    Nr.14,16,15

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The following picture shows...

    The Nr.16 (Bloom in the middle in the Picture above) deserves closer Attention, the flower is very compact, the venation is intense and the inner floral segments have projections:

    Hello Fred, thank you for your Feedback. Which indicates that there was an ambiguity about, which text related to which Picture. I corrected for the ambiguity by including separation lines and additional text which will now make it clear that Nr.12b) is shown in open Bloom.

    At everybody who reads: There is imho a "winner" as regards the mere shape of the flower, which reminds me of a starfish. Which of them is it?

    OH, while I am still AT IT: I pollinated all 4 flowers of "Ambiance" from "Flamenco Queen" which is still regard as the very best commerial output within the category "TETraploids" during the last decade (KUDOS at the breeders who are, AFAIK, Penning Freesia/The Netherlands). And I applied the pollen with a paintbrush, and the last flower I dusted/impregnated was the flower the stigma of which, I knew, had already been pollinated accidentally from the pollen of the own floret. The respective ovary failed to grow to a seed pod, which confirms my prior observation, that self-pollination of "Ambiance" did prevent from production of seeds, which I noticed on a flower of "Ambiance" accidentally contaminated with its own pollen, THEN - impregnated by "UnderTheLadder".

    Here some Flamenco Queen of 2017 for you:

    She is just 1 year old (female-heat twice and yet to be neutered) and she has a traumatic history behind her. She had been found by a boy at the side of a street, her hind legs severely injured, and afterwards, likely due to an effectively-deficient caregiving on this very Occasion, in an overcrowded shelter, the legs became infected and finally had to be removed. During the first months in our custody, we observed that her body would strongly and repeatedly twitch during every time she dropped off to sleep. Which indicated some Revival of her Trauma, but this has got much better now.

    Well, she is very shy in respect to human beings other than the couple humans she does know well, but she is not in the least afraid of other dogs, regardless of size. Backscratches are highly appreciated, and massaging the area at the upper edges of the shoulder blades has her turn her head upright and has her assume an Expression of "Trance". It is the region which is very well known to be prone to a formation of these so called "muscle gellings" (myogeloses) not only in humans, that is.

    Hello Fred, it is the same with me. Generally, a dog will rather fast recognize whether and that one likes them, and then you are already a god for them. I have never possessed one own dog, but I always adored them, and generally dogs KNEW that very fast.
