Sounds like a good plan Griff! I wish you
luck on this venture of yours! :-) and your photos seem do your seedlings
justice too. I hope to see more of them.

Your new border bearded seedling put a smile on my face, too. It bears a
nice resemblance to Daughter of Stars, in my opinion. As to these two
newcomers of mine, I made a cross today on 5W8 (the chartreuse and
blue one that I misidentified as 05W211 in the earlier post) by With
Castenets, which is rounder-petaled and ruffled. I was pleased that the
camera captured the very delicate infusion of red-violet in the blue veining
of the falls. I still haven't been able to take consistently sharp
flower photos with it, even though when held at arm's length and aimed at
myself it picks up all the pores in my face and even the odd bristle missed in
my shaving. Very frustrating. In the seedling bed, I have
several crosses involving Lumalite, and it's interesting to see the
intensity of color in many of them. None with its particular pizazz
yet, though. I'm looking for several more to bloom tomorrow, with a
10-degree warmup. But the blooms and I will also be playing tag
with the rain. --
