Catching up on Friday

I don't know why I am so behind. I can't seem to get caught up on my pictures.


It's horribly hot here. I spent much of the morning outside until about 1 or 2. I have stayed in after that. It keeps threatening to rain, but it's mostly drizzle so all it does is raise the humidity. The heat index has been about 106 this afternoon.


Absolute Ripper didn't have very good color this morning.


Forestlake Point Lace is one of my favorite yellows.


Lemon Fringed Pastel is one of the polychrome Klehms.


Out of Balance is one of Jamie Gossard's small butterfly diploids. Many of them are not true smalls, but they are smaller than the average uf.


Primal Scream


This browning foliage on Small World Fire in the Hole is common all over the garden this season.


Rosie Cotton's Ribbons is starting to look good. It is definitely not a cool morning opener.


Seedlings to come . . .

    This seedling is Bodacious Bite X Red Eyed Queen.


    Believe or not, this is Burgundy Eye Shadow X Heavenly Tiger Tails. It was the only yellow seedling out of several very dark seedlings. It's a good grower. It's not a big flower. Bob likes it because the eye is very dark.


    I was going for red with a black eye with Heavenly Christmas Cactus X Velvet Eyes. I do like it even though it wasn't what I wanted.


    I like the color o this one which is Possible Side Effects X Snidely Whiplash.


    This is not a cross of small ones, but it is definitely under 4.5 inches. It is Santa's Little Helper X Velvet Eyes.


    We don't usually plant seeds that were bee pollinated, but I collect some of them from the fanciest varieties to give to newbies. I tried a test with these seeds. (A different method of planting them) This is Sihir X Unknown.


    Bob loved the dark ones we saw this morning (and there were many more than pictured here), but this one was probably queen in his eyes. It is Princess of Alexandria X (Sea of Cinders X Happy Holidays to You).


    This is not the typical seedling you would find in our seedlings bed. It is Golden Tentacles X Wolverine. We thought this one might be an intro, but the bud count seems low. We will line it out in another part of the garden and shee how it goes.



    That's enough for me today.

    You certainly can’t miss Primal Scream, can you? Quite a clump of Small World Fire in the Hole even with the foliage. Rosie Cotton’s Ribbons has such a pretty color. All the seedlings look good but, liking yellow as I do, I really appreciate the Golden Tentacles seedling!

    Of the named ones, Lemon Cream Pastel drew my attention, very pretty. I like the Velvet Eyes seedlings.

    As to your seedlings, Bob's Queen is in one of my favorite colors, and I also like cream white/yellow edged one below it. Nice form and edges...........Sticking to my yellow theme, I like Forest Point Lace and the polychrome white below it. Both very pretty.........Maryl P.S.

    You have my sympathy on your heat index. I know you all aren't used to it, especially so early in the season. I hope it's not going to be one of those summers for everyone. The winter/spring was bad enough.

    Your seedling queen is my favorite today. It has all the bells and whistles. The color on Absolute Ripper looks fine to me. Forestlake Point Lace is a pretty yellow. Rosie Cotton's Ribbons hasn't been able to open for me in the mornings, and I keep forgetting to check it in the evenings. That heat is what's making you feel so tired. You shouldn't stay out past 11 in that kind of heat. And don't forget to drink plenty of water. My foliage is already looking bad too. The few terribly hot days we've had seems to have cooked the leaves.

    Debra, Rosie Cotton's Ribbons is definitely not a cool morning opener. Ours are beginning to shape up here though.
