Very nice bloom as cool as it has been. I am glad it bloomed for you. You have several nice ones from that cross, don't you?

Nancy - I have four from that cross, and all of them have pretty blooms. Here are the other three:

Pink Ex x SS1

Pink Ex x SS2

Pink Ex X SS4

That one is very lovely, DEbra. And there isn't a stinker in that bunch.

Wow, I really love them all! And indeed it is amazing that it bloomed. My Belle Isle Sentry hasn't bloomed for a week now despite all the buds, just too cool. I brought a couple of scapes in but they still didn't bloom. So glad yours did!

I agree with everyone here, that seedling is a beauty and all four are lovely. It is sad the season is ending for you now…

Brad - It's too bad Belle Isle Sentry couldn't open. I don't ever remember it being this chilly here by the middle of October.

Kay and Sherry - Thanks for your comments. I have another seedling trying to bloom, and it may be warm enough for it to succeed in the next two days or early next week.

Debra

Oh, I really like that seedling and all its siblings too. The one blooming has wonderful color for this time of year.

Nancy

Beautiful seedlings. How appropos one of your husband’s favorites bloomed on his birthday. I know that made it even more special-it is just lovely.

I absolutely love every one of those seedlings!

Thanks so much for your comments Nancy, Kate and Nan! All of the seedlings are evergreen except for #4, which is either dormant or semi-evergreen.
