Most are. Then ther are a few others such as the White Ostray White,
Yellow Conundrum and H7.

If anyone has information on H7 or Hansymeyer -7, in full designation,
could you post it?

I couldn't find any on a quick search.

The aphylla yellow colour that I got in seedlings of H7 suggests that
it is a recessive yellow, which is a bit different. Yellow is usually
dominant.

Chuck,

the 'd' seedling does have an interesting play of colour. Could carry
some fun genetics. All the aphylla seedlings I've seen tend to be
violet to purple. The splashing effect is new to me. Maybe I just
don't get around enough!

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
