Flowers from Sunday

7 years ago

This morning was really lovely--not as hot as it had been with lower humidity. It has since gotten hot, but we enjoyed an hour or so outside evaluating seedlings before church. Most of the pictures today are seedling pictures.

Mary Ethel Anderson is fast becoming my favorite miniature.

This flower represents the heartbreak of hybridizing. You all know we love bright colors and it doesn't get any brighter than this one. However, it has no plant habit to speak of. It will always remain in our garden, though. This is Fox Point X Randall the Runner.

I'm not sure if the color is good enough on this seedling. It is Horsing Around X Shabby Chic.

Pardon Bob's hand and the shadows. It was a little early to get a good picture on Prickled Petals X Horsing Around.

This is a Norris seedling X Crimson Stories.

This is Susan Ruoff X Lady Stephanie Victoria Redding.

That's all for me for today.

It is heartbreaking when those seedlings with perfect blooms have poor plant habit. That is such a gorgeous, bright bloom. The second seedling looks colorful enough to me, and edge is nice and toothy. Numbers 3 and 4 look like they have potential!

Nice seedlings again! I like the last two the best today mostly because of the color. Looks like the Norris seedling is working on some teeth!

Mary Ethel Anderson is a cutie! I love that orange seedling, sorry to hear about the plant habit :( My next favorite seedling is the last one, very nice.

The heartbreak seedling is so pretty-too bad about plant habit-that would definitely be one thing I would hate-to have a beauty that is not supported by good plant traits! I really like the last two seedlings!

Your three seedlings are sure pretty. I like the pink in particular - The "Pardon Bob's Hand" one..............Maryl

That is a beautiful bloom! I Hate that the habit isn't as good as the bright pretty face. I particularly like the last two seedlings.
