Seedling (Sun Bear X Julie Newmar #2) x Purple Eyed Dragonfly

2020 Intro Untamed Heart

Biltmore Style X Cool Hand Luke ruffling a bit more on a hot day

Skin of My Teeth Seedling

Another Skin of My Teeth seedling

Texas Blue Eyes x Violet Tranquility - This seedling is the sole survivor of the 2016-17 Junebug grub attack that killed more than a dozen of my seedlings. In Spring 2017 I moved this seedling that was being devoured, It put up a very short scape and bloomed with three buds. Then for two years it didn't scape at all. This year it's branched like a Christmas tree (five-way branching on two fans) with bud counts ranging from 22-24.

What an impressive clump of Gypsy Cats! Minstrel Singer is very lovely. I love the form and look of Ocean Spirit. Whoa Picasso's Intrigue is gorgeous! As is your Untamed Heart.

As usual all beautiful seedlings! Yes, the Queen is my favorite )) And BarManxRD close 2nd. Oh and both of the SOMT are great, too.

Gypsy Cats is gorgeous! Gillian is doing and looking great. All of the seedlings are beautiful. Of course, the Dancing Flamingo one is a beauty, but so is the Barbara Mandrell one, and Ultimate Sacrifice. I like the Skin of My Teeth one as well.

Impressive group Debra. How about sending some of that rain this way? I'm sure David would agree that we need it here in our area. Seems east of us getting all the liquid gold.

Gypsy Cats looks great in that clump. Seedlings all are special. Although I like the hot colors, I am pulled toward the Sun Bear seedling today.

What a gorgeous clump of Gypsy Cats, love that name. I had my very last bloom on Spacecoast Frances Busby today. So sad to see those last buds. I like Ocean Spirit. Your intro Untamed Heart is gorgeous! and I really like the Texas Blue Eye seedling.

Thanks to all who mentioned the Gypsy Cats clump!

Nancy - SC Francis Busby should rebloom for you. It usually reblooms here. The Texas Blue Eyes seedling has a special place in my heart because it's such a survivor.

Kate and Sherry - Thanks for your positive comments about the SB2 x Purple Dragonfly seedling!

Julia - I wish I could send you some rain. I was so disappointed earlier this week when it rained all around us and we only got about dozen drops of water. But yesterday was finally a good soaking rain.

Nat, Kay and Sherry - The Dancing Flamingo seedling is a special one. I must have at least 30 photos of it because it never has a bad bloom. I'm so thrilled it has instant rebloom coming.

The Purple Dragonflly seedling is usually not that dark in color. The photo was taken on its best day. Normally the eye color is much lighter, and there is not as much contrast. I'm using it as a bridge plant and crossing it with patterned eyes and more defined lavender and purple eyes.
