I love the color on the first one, and the fourth one is very pretty too. Dragonfly Dawn doesn't like it here. It didn't bloom last year, and it appears to only have 4-5 buds per scape here. I will cross it with some hardier plants this year, and sell it in the fall. I know it does well in Texas, having so many buds that it seems to weigh the scapes down for Dot Parker.

Debra, I am not impressed with Dragonfly Dawn in our garden, at least not yet. We've had it three years, and this year it has more scapes than before, so maybe it just needs extra time to develop. Also, by using it to make crosses, I understand that can affect a plant, so since I won't be doing any more crosses, at least not with this one, it may have a chance to stay here, and be a plant we want to keep.

Lovely seedlings! My favorite is the first one. The third one is very unique with the tan color.

Debra, Dragonfly Dawn scapes are falling over, have to be propped up. It's a shame for the flower is so pretty. Lori, I goofed on the cross name of the first seedling shown: It is Piaffe/Katherine Caldwell. The second flower is just like the first, so good consistency there and the size is seven inches. Bud count is not very good, maybe on six or seven buds now, but I will very likely keep it another year to see if it improves.

I especially like that first one, but they are all nice I think. When I compare those with some of mine, I get some real losers. Seems like the ugly ones bloom the best too
