RE: HYB: seedling (no flower)

---

Hi, Linda,

 

It looks as though your garden grows even more rocks than mine. 

 

I’m planting all my seeds this fall if it ever cools down enough.  We’re still running over 100 degrees every day.  I just took off the 6 mil. clear plastic with which I have been solarizing the bed for the past six weeks.  In another two weeks, I’ll have Marvin with the rototiller and myself with a rake fixing it for planting.  I have a lot of seeds in the refrigerator using Appleblossom Days, Happenstance, Pond Lily and Pink Champagne among others as parents.  There’s much to look forward to.  If this hot country kills off 4/5 of them as it did last year, at least I won’t have to monkey with a bunch of weaklings.  Those parents all grow well here in the heat without rotting.

This is one of those seedlings that I managed to coax into germinating
last fall, about 6 months after making the cross. 6 fans.   IMCS26
("Opie"):(IMMORTALITY x CELEBRATION SONG) X COLOR ME BLUE.

This is probably the biggest seedling, but several of the other fall
germinators are also whoppers with some increase.  Way ahead of the
spring germinators, none of which are big enough to bloom next spring.
