HYB: Spring is coming

Spring must be coming; some early bloomstalks are appearing and (except for
Epicenter) most of them are on seedlings.
I most highly anticipate the Louisa's Song x Rippling River one mentioned
before, from the primary fan on a small clump from a seed planted about 12
months ago.
Two more seedlings will bloom from a Stage Lights cross that produced a
wonderful SA luminata that bloomed a couple of months ago.
An older cross (Spirit World x Epicenter) planted in a shadier spot will
produce some bloom for the first time.
Night Ruler x Louisa's Song will also bloom; I just hope LS provides the form
and the garden habits.  I know it usually works the other way (the ugly parent
dominates).  Hey, sorry, no other pollen was available at the time; the same
reason I have a bunch of LS x Double Click seedlings.  I have no idea what
that will produce.  It could be awful, but I might get a surprise.  Plic X
non-plic generally produces a lot of ugly "spray patterns", but in a previous
Filibuster X Gnu cross I got very clean hafts (on fully disposable flowers).
