Are these seedlings one year from seed or two? If they are just
one year away from seed, they might not be fully expressing their
potential. Since you live in a climate that has year-round growing
conditions, I would be hesitant to say.
Blooms are progressively smaller when the second bud in a
socket blooms. Proportion and 'balance' are out of whack when
the second terminal blooms while the branches are still showing
the first bud in bloom.
I would observe the seedlings for two years before culling
unless the maiden bloom is so horrible you are ashamed for
anybody else to see the seedling in bloom.
