<<Has anyone out there had the same experience, and did the seedlings ever bloom?>>

Elm, I only breed reblooming TB's. In 20+ years of looking at seedlings I've seen 4 or 5 seedlings that appeared to be twins. In each case I managed to lose track of them before I saw them bloom. This was while I was at Alvaton, late 80's.

There was one twin in the seedlings I put out this past May. If I can track this one down, I'll try to follow it through and see how it progresses.

I believe Ben Hager introduced a couple of TB's from twins, some 15 to 20 years ago. I think they were pink or peach?? Anyone remember the names?
