Just two pictures today

8 years ago

I got to take only one picture before my cell phone told me I was out of space and couldn't take any more pictures. So here is the one seedling that got photographed today. I assure you, this one is staying. The flower is quite large and the scape has about 15 buds on a second year seedling. It is Sonoran Desert Rose X Crimson Stories.

Sunday morning before it got hot and before we went to church, Bob and I walked the observation beds for the purpose of deciding what goes and what stays. We picked many flowers and Bob arranged them on the ground for a photo.

That's all I got for today.

Looks like a lot of keepers on the ground! I see that the shape of your seedling comes mainly from Crimson Stories. Striking teeth, big eye, pleasing colors. Is Crimson Stories hardy for you?

That's a gorgeous seedling. I love the colors and the toothy edge. How big is the bloom?

Very nice seedling, different looking from most out there. I always like those flower groupings like that. It would make an interesting jigsaw puzzle.

Mantis, Crimson Stories hangs in there for us. I have gotten some beautiful seedlings out of it. I just hope the seedlings are hardy.

Debra, the seedling is about 7 inches across. Both parents have good sized flowers.

Gorgeous seedling! Glad you got a photo of the one. I like the second photo as well, always interesting to see a collection of blooms together.

Beautiful seedling! Love the color. And I, too, see many keepers in that array of gorgeous blooms. I would probably keep what you will say "goes"!! They are that pretty.

Wow ! Love your seedling .......and that group shot .......does it ever take your breath away when you stand back and look and say ...." I cant believe I am so lucky to be surrounded by so many wonderful blooms" . I often just stop and stand and look around my gardens in awe. All I do is plant and weed. Mother Nature does the rest . She is an awesome artist.
