Hello Francelle,
 
>I like that one, Donald.  It seems to have good stalks and very nice >appendages.  What is the bud count?
 
The stalks are straight and wind resistant.  I like the appendages, too.  That little filament-like thing doesn't overburden anything.  Bud count is mostly seven per stalk, but on one stalk I counted five, on another six and on another nine.  But mostly, so far as I could tell, there were usually seven.  I don't know if that means much here or not.  Those advertised as having much higher bud counts usually don't do that here.  7-9 on those advertised is about average for those supposed to have more and average here for most TBs is 5-7.  That's just as well.  The last buds usually dry up or are pitiful, unattractive blooms anyway.  I much prefer a plant that increases sufficiently and is able to bloom multiple stalks with lower bud count in a clump.  They simply look and perform better under my conditions.  This seedling works well in that area.  It also has a nice color and pretty good substance.  I think the form isn't best, but blooming in the garden it works quite well.  I'm most definitely oriented toward garden plants and not show stalks.  Under more agreeable growing conditions I think it's possible this one might have more buds, but maybe not either.
