Nice form on d I agree.  The color and the markings on the falls aren't bad either.

Here are two more seedlings.

I had about 40 seedlings bloom. Only one or two that were pale blue.
About 1/4 had yellow colour. A number of dark purple, very typical
aphylla colour, and a number with splotches. Some with incrediably poor
twisted form. "d" was the best of the bunch for shape and my favorite.
A freaky colour from an aphylla. I havn't checked if they show aphylla
winter die back.

"d" had aphylla branching and offers a lot of potential for passing on
aphylla genetics without problem of Ae producing dark purple.

These were open pollinated seeds. What I did was mix all seeds together
, stirred them up , and then planted them . I suspect that they are
basically selfed seeds. Almost all show aphylla branching, and they
wer crowded so may not have reached full potential
