Very pretty,Kate. You Flight of Orchids is striking I have never had half that many blooms on mine. Both of Celeste's seedlings are lovely. I like the Sweeter Side of Life. Pop Pop[p Lewis is probably my favorite though. It is very striking!

Flight of Orchids and Marilyn Monroe are my favorites today. Unfortunately, Marilyn didn't like our climate and died her first winter. Celeste's seedlings are pretty, especially the Crintonic Rain Dance seedling.

Kay, I am surprised Flight of Orchids does not bloom like this for you. It may have just found its spot in the garden!! Pop Pop was not completely open early this morning when I was out. It looks better later.

Nancy, Marilyn did not perform well last year but appears to be finding her stride.

I’m adding these blooms to the seedling ranks. I grew these from seeds from Celeste with Kitty Bannerman and Shores of Time in their lineage.

Flight of Orchids is extraordinary. Here, rather stingy some years.

I love your pink seedlings from Celeste's seeds.

! The third one is my favorite color-wise, and it looks to be well-budded! The Flight of Orchids clump is impressive, despite most of the blooms facing away. It's good to see the white seedling still survives somewhere. And I'm so happy seedling (Palace Garden Beauty X Karelia) X This Longing is blooming for you since it died on Sherry. That one likes heat. Is it cooler than normal for you this Spring? It's cooler than normal for Indy this year.

Debra, you know how these spring seasons go! It has been up and down in temps. Probably with all the storms the temps have overall been cooler I suppose. This week begins the hotter days leading into summer with upper 80s all week. Your other seedling should bloom this week.

The third seeding from Celeste in your follow up post is exceptionally beautiful!! I like the first one in that group, and the last two in the first group.

Brad

I like the first seedling from Celeste's seeds. I like the rich color and the watermark.

Nancy

I enjoy seeing your seedlings today. Forest God is a favorite of mine too.

I hope Debra reads this……..I lost Inimitable X Moonlit Caress.

the Palace Garden Beauty seedling lost one of its two fans, fans were small. It is still in the garden and put up another small fan. It hasnt given up yet!

Sherry

Wow to that clump of Flight of Orchids!! I was delighted to see you post some of my seedling 'rejects'....lol. Those Kitty Bannerman x Shores of Time seedlings look amazing! I kept several of that cross and there weren't any 'dogs' in the bunch. Kitty makes gorgeous kids. Every cross I've made with her as pod has made amazing seedlings. Your garden looks lush, probably from all that rain and I don't see those nasty bugs so hip hip hooray!

Sherry - I did see your message on this thread about the seedlings!
