Ah, the seedlings ace this test! So pretty. I like the color on the Diver Down seedling but the pinks always catch my eye but the dark rich colors on the others are striking too. I must be in this mode because I am enjoying Coach’s Magic Man so much! Such a Blaze is such a rich red.

It was 50 here, going to 48 tonight!

You have a lot of winners that did well!! They are all so pretty, but

Pink Extraordinaire X $exy Samantha 3 is my favorite for color and form of all of these. Beautiful!

I agree that the Pink Extraorinaire seedling is beautiful. The Leonard seedling, if the edge is white, would be my second favorite. Actually though they are all pretty ones......Maryl

Of course since I love Leonard, the Leonard X Bat King is a winner for me, I am intringed by the flamingo s seedling. The Diver Down seedling is a beauty. And, Such a Blaze is my kind of bloom. Very nice post.

The seedlings are the stars today although I do like Such a Blaze.

My favorite seedlings are the Diver Down seedling and the Leonard X The Bat King seedling. I do like the Dancing Flamingo seedling because I like a pink flower with a green throat.

Kate - I think you just like them all. LOL Thank you!

Brad - The Pink Extraordinaire seedling is off to better a start than usual. The past two years it's been plagued by thrips. This year that bed doesn't seem to have them. They've all congregated on the east side of my house this year.

Maryl - The Leonard seedling has a combination of pure white and cream white teeth. I prefer a set of white teeth myself. But most of my toothy seedlings are either white and cream white or cream white and gold.

Kay and Nan - I see you two have similar tastes in seedlings. The Diver Down seedling has a large flower of 6+ inches, and it really holds it color all day. Unfortunately it's an evergreen and will likely croak in Indianapolis. The Dancing Flamingo seedling and the Leonard seedlings are semi-evergreens that will probably do OK there.

Are you presently looking for a house? It can take many, many months to find a suitable house. Leonard/Bat King 3 is my pick.

First I was surprised to read you were moving. Hope things go well for the move.

All of the seedlings look good for such a low morning temp.I noticed that Dancing Flamingo X Neon Flamingo 1 has a bit of petal not opening fully on one of the two blooms. Pink Extraordinaire X $exy Samantha 3 is stunning in color and form. Stats on it? Its been cool here too with 50's in the morning yesterday and today. Good gardening weather.

Julia - Yes, I am moving. I am far too lonely here since my husband died last fall. I'm moving to Indianapolis where I grew up. My younger sister is there and many, many cousins. Also several of my high school, college and church friends live there. I need that kind of support system as I continue to age alone. I just sold my house this week. The double flamingo seedling was photographed at the end of the day after a very cool night and a very warm day, so there was a bit of canoeing. The stats on the Pink Extraordinaire seedling are not that good. It seems stats on most of my seedlings get worse and worse as the years go on instead of better. Chalk it up to drought, grubs and weather.

Mantis - I think I will be able to find a house within six to eight weeks. I don't have a lot of requirements on a house, other that it be smaller than the one I now have and has a sunny yard. There are three in the zip code I want right now that look suitable.
