Winding down on Saturday

9 years ago

The beds sure don't have many flowers today. The late bed is in full bloom, but soon some of them will be done. We are winding down earlier this year. When I worked (I was a teacher), I worried about not being able to hybridize the late ones. We usually went back to school in early August. That wouldn't be a problem this year. We still have some rebloom scapes coming on, though.

Sunshine on My Shoulders is a nice yellow.

Bob loves the old historic ones. This is Yuma, a parent of the famous Forestlake Ragamuffin.

Triple Cherries will breed for doubles, and this year it has been double on several on rebloom.

I know I have shown Tahlequah Flame before, but Bob got a nice picture of it today. I like the yellow watermark.

The seedling Queen of the garden today is one I might have shown before. It is Mitch Lynd X Rosy Spiketail. It is one fan and three scapes. It bloomed, rebloomed, and then had instant rebloom. I hope it keeps doing that. The color in person was prettier than in the photo.

That's all for today.

I love Tahlequah Flame - I have not seen many orange with watermarks.

Tahlequah is gorgeous. I like your seedling and that bloom history sounds good.

Nice photo of Tahlequah Flame. Your seedlings this year have been outstanding. I found it difficult when I did crosses to see any late crosses that formed pods actually mature.

I do love the extra-ruffled and toothy edges I see on many of your blooms. I suppose after next year, I will have to think about acquiring some tetraploids, since that's mostly where I see it occurring. I may be bidding at the auction before I imagined! :)

Your seedling outshines them all. Hope it turns out to be vigorous as well.
