the most beautiful 'big toe' I have ever seen ...

Huh? OMG how beautiful Mary! My 14 m.o. dummies just sitting there looking like sticks. I have to go talk to them.

Oh wow

Your back yard must be absolutely beautiful i would love to visit but I am not planning a trip to Texas luckily it would kill me to leave

Wow most beautiful seedling indeed!

WOW! 6-7 months old and flowering like that already. Lovely, Marie!

Tyler

Beautiful, Marie! OK, what did you do? Are you feeding these guys a
plate of Texas steak & potatoes with a side of asparagus?

LatinLady....hihihi....I feed all of my plants the same.

No special treatment, some grow fast some stay small forever.

Marie

EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas!!

Marie, is that KOs "Excellent Lover?"

LatinLady, it is seedling, so it has no name yet. Soon..

Marie

Marie,

I didn't mean whether you have named your specific flower. Did you grow it from seed? It looks very much like KO's Excellent Lover, except yours has a yellow throat. This is KO's Excellent Lover:

LatinLady, thank you for the into. Mr. Ko's blooms are beautiful. Yes, they look very similar, but closer look they are different. Mr. Ko has white border, my seedling has no white border.

I got it as seed.

Marie

Whatever it's name, it's amazing! Beautiful colors. I ordered some seeds recently and I can only hope to get one out of them as nice as yours!

Love the toe and love that shoe (read "pot"), too!

Carol

Very nice Agartta! Yes, obviously a lot of LOVE! To that, I add JOY ... Marie is inoculating her plants with all her love & joy!!

Carol, toes and shoes? That one went right over my head ... You totally lost me. Oh, yeah ... Marie said the plant's caudex is about the size of her big toe!!

Marie, I love your pots. Do you purchase them locally or online?

Continued success and happy growing to all!

Maria Elena, one of my girlfriend is downsizing her plants collection and gave me about 30 ceramic pots. (most pots are big and heavy) She told me to come again for more after she cleans up her backyard.

That pot is one of them.

Marie

Oh my gosh, talk about a win-win! Wow! Congratulations!

Carol

Wow, Marie ... You are one highly blessed woman!! So much beauty surrounds you and in so many ways. Enjoy the fruits of your labor, my friend.

Hi Marie, missed this one. Beautiful bloom and the number of blooms on a young plant, Beautiful.

Marie, Is there a way that I can contact you. Wanted to ask a question, but not able to send message. Could you send me a message?

Rick

Rick, got it

Marie

Thanks Marie. Sent off a message.

Rick

It's beautiful! Strange that a seedling has a stem like a cutting without a caudex but the flowers more than make up for that with me. I love it. ;)

Very pretty. Good grafting material.

Hyn, the seedling was in 4 x 4 inches pot, when I repot to this blue one, I covered the causex with soil, since it was so small. I will raise it after one year.

Marie

That makes sense, Marie. It's a lovely one and you obviously know what you are doing - all of your plants look great.

I now have name for this seedling. Fireworks

5 blooms open this week.

Very beautiful seedling Mary! Love it! :)
