Tuesday's bunch

8 years ago

We complained that we didn't have rain. Now the rains started and the tap won't turn off. It rained again this morning and everything was wet and damaged, but I did get a few pictures. Of course, now that the rains have stopped this afternoon, the humidity is through the roof.

The named cultivars seem to be developing slowly this year. I took pictures of only two ffo's today.

Wild and Wonderful seems to be enjoying its new spot.

This one is its first flower ever here in our garden. It was planted last spring. It is Little Miss Understood.

Maybe I'd better post these and put the rest in the comments.

There were several seedlings open this morning. The first two are siblings--Oktoberfest X (Pat Garrity X Gavin Petit).

The next two come out of the red/white program. Abilene Lillian X (Empire of Dawn and Dusk X Ruby Lipstick) is the first and Remembered Kisses X Phillies Starter is the second. I think I like the first one best--better eye color and maybe a whiter background. Of course, these are maiden blooms so they will change as they mature.

These three are siblings--Daddy's Heart X Curious Cutie. I like the eye on the second one and the shape of the flower and eye on the third one. They are all small flowers.

That's enough for today.

Wild and Wonderful looks wonderful. Of your seedlings, I like the first one of the Oktoberfest, the 1st one of the red/white, and the 2nd if the last 3. All of them look pretty good to me though.

I like both Wild and Wonderful and Little Miss Understood! The Oktoberfest babies are both attractive. I prefer the first one because of its form. The red and whites are both pretty. I prefer the second because of its more rounded from and the sepal recurving. Of the Daddy's Heart offspring, my favorite is the middle one because of the colors.

The Oktoberfest crosses seem to have done well. You had quite a drenching.
