Re: HYB: problem seedlings

Colleen  --  What to do with C25-02?  Introduce it.  As I'm sure you know, it wouldn't be the first medal winner to have fewer than 7 buds.  True, some of our judges might exclude it from certain competitions for that reason, as at Florence, but what's more important, winning prizes or introducing something beautiful?  The rational I have heard for the 7-bud "rule" is that AIS should be promoting development of more floriferous plants.  That's a legitimate goal, but in my mind it doesn't justify exclusion of cultivars from competition.  Please put me down as one of your first customers when you introduce it.  --  Griff

Here's two I'm not sure what to to with

 

C64-02 Kathleen Kay Nelson x About Town. Huge clean growing plants, lovely form and substance, at least 8 buds but just another violet blue. But nice and early

 

C25-02 Gualdajara x Epicentre. Lovely colour, good plant but only ever 5 buds
