You're on! And I am going to sit back patiently and covet Wendy's LILY MY 
LOVE until it increases enough for a swap. I can't warm to Gaelic Jig 
though. It reminds me of Witching, which has 15 stalks of yuck coloured 
blooms about to open.

I know what you mean. I'm sure the new neighbors on both sides think I'm a 
crazy lady, hopping around the garden with my camera, or my pen, paper, 
plastic labels, etc., or bending over close with my tweezers. (I can just 
see them with their binoculars pressed to the window ..."what on earth is 
she doing now? Looks like she has a pair of tweezers and she is fiddling 
around with the flower...." :-)

>The first blooms from my previous years seedlings just popped today.

I have been getting some nice seedlings from CHERRY CHILD X YES, with 
ruffled and flared form and good substance, however they look very much like 
Barry Blythes IB introductions from 5 or 6 years ago. (In the Mist, Mystic 
Potion etc.)I might test some for fertility.

Same here. Many of my SDB's have given me only 1 bloom per stem.
I did an extensive bud check today. I'm very excited to see buds on LAVENDER 
PARK, RUSTLE OF SPRING, SCENTED BUBBLES, MIND READER, among many others. 
Woohoo!

Hope it goes well and the rain holds off until the end of the day.
Cheers, Jan
