I'm back! Sharing a few seedling pictures

I have been absent for quite a while, always meaning to pop back on to look at posts and catch up, but time always seems to get away from me. Last summer and fall were pretty miserable for me, as some as you know. Anyway, I thought I would share a few pictures of some of seedlings from last summer... I hope Houzz has fixed things and it isn't such a frustrating and huge pain in the butt to post. I will give it a try. Here are a couple and if it works, I will add more in the comments.


This is a dip cross, from seeds I purchased several years ago. Green Arrow x Isabelle Rose. It first bloomed in 2018. It is one of my three favorite dip seedlings and one of the two dip seedlings that I made seeds from last summer. I only have a few dip seedlings



This is also from seeds I purchased several years ago, I believe the pod parent is RFK and I'm not sure of the pollen parent. First bloom was last summer. Even though I don't like pink much, I love this one. Also made seeds from it.

    Yay, it looks like it worked! :) All of these are tets... unfortunately I don't have the crosses written down on most of them and depending on critter activity, I might not know them in spring either. I had about 150 seedlings bloom for the first time last summer, here are some of my favorites... heavy on the purple and watermarks :)

    2019-028 - Thistles and Thorns x Mister Mayor - this one was about 9". I sure hope it survives our winter, it is one of my favorites


    Gotta run for now, I will try to add more later. Thanks for looking!

    That's a nice group of seedlings! The ones I find most appealing are the first one in your original post and the third, fourth and fifth ones in your comment post. Fantastic scape on 2019-025! I hope you will share some more of your seedlings with us.

    Thank you, ladies! I appreciate your kind comments. Here's a few more for now. I'll try to do another post with some more one evening this week.


    2019-036 - Kingdom Without End x Jellyroll Morton


    2019-043 - Thistles and Thorns x Mister Mayor


    2019-058 - Thistles and Thorns x Regina Sitko - sorry I posted this one on my other post too!


    And here is another one of my few dip seedlings, a RFK baby. First bloomed in 2018, was definitely improved last summer. And I do remember specifically that it rebloomed last year.

    You know that is just the form and look I really like, all look so good, but I agree with you. 028, Thistles and Thorns seedling is my favorite, and I think the 1st seedling is my 2nd fav, but all look really good.

    They are ALL amazing and I'm so happy that you posted them! You know I've been waiting to see them and it's worth the wait. I find something appealing about each and every one of them. You know I love purples and purple combined with watermarks is even more perfect! If I hadn't start hundreds of my own seeds you can bet I'd be buying up all your seeds...lol. Please share more pics when you can. I love looking at seedling pics while I wait for my own.

    You're getting lovely watermarks on the Kingdom Without End X Jellyroll M. crosses. That first one looks like it might be a large bloom.

    Wow Laura, lots of beauties! All those purples make it hard to pick any favorites. For the moment, I think my favorites are the Green Arrow cross, 23, 25, & 36.

    Thank you all so much! I'm looking forward to this summer to seeing all my babies bloom again and see some new faces too. Debra, I might have been confusing with the way I posted - the only one that I know is Kingdom Without End x Jelltyroll Morton is 2019-036.


    A lot of my seedlings had rebloom, but I didn't have time to write notes and things like I wanted to. So, I will see what this summer brings! I hope they didn't bloom themselves out and croak.

    You have some really beautiful seedlings, Laura. I especially like that Mr. Mayor one and that first one.

    That's great that you had rebloom on seedlings. I only had two of my new seedlings that rebloomed, but I'm hoping that was because of the May drought we had here.

    Lovely seedlings. This one is especially nice 2019-036 - Kingdom Without End x Jellyroll Morton. Looks to be a large bloom.

    Since I can't edit anything posted previously, I'll just note the few that I didn't state earlier...

    2019-022 - Claudine's Charm x Mister Mayor

    2019-023 - Claudine's Charm x Regina Sitko

    2019-025 - unknown (seedling planted in 2017) - looks like I forgot to mention that the second picture of this one shows the double scapes / instant rebloom on this one. I will need to be sure to take pictures of this stuff next year (and take notes)... gardening goals!!
