My first seedling bloom!

8 years ago

Well, it's not pretty, but hopefully it will improve this year or next. If not, it will find a new home next fall because I will need the room. This is from seed I purchased, not a cross I made... Green Arrow x Isabelle Rose (supposed to be, I'm not sure about the IR part). Bought in 2014, planted July of 2016. This plant put up a scape last September but it didn't completely mature or bloom because of cold temps and frost. Good increase, tall, good branching.

This was taken around 12:30PM yesterday, when I came home from work at lunch time and saw it. It was nowhere near open at 6AM when I walked by it.



And here it is around 7PM last night. It was close to 90 degrees here yesterday.



I have 18 seedlings with scapes coming up so far! Very exciting and will be like Christmas morning on quite a few mornings this summer :)

And, even more exciting, here is a seedling from a cross I made - unknown x unknown because of the demon critters this past winter/spring. Recurrent scapes, looks like to me... maybe it's a fluke though




That's all for now. I took next week off work, so hope to be more active on the forum soon, maybe even starting tomorrow. It's going to be scorching hot here for the next few days, 90s with 'real feel' temps in the 100s tomorrow. I will not be spending much time outside!

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!
