RE: Seedlings to Share - SIB

Perhaps you should just keep sending pictures because they seem to get increasingly better!!

 

I like the chartreuse-ness of the flower and the lovely accenting appendages.  Speaking of this, I am very picky about how appendages contribute to the whole floral display.  I like them to be accessory, not a focal showpiece.

 

Thanks again,

Donald,

Oh, I like it, especially since anything new and good this year were few. 

I didn't care to much for the lighter standards and I wish the falls were more red.

I didn't notice the shoulders while in bloom, the tint probably comes from TBird,

since I'm getting quite a bit of that reddish brown from TBird.

The other parent Guadalajara X Triple Whammy was a brown sa.

This is the sib picture, it is the best grower, but it is yellow.

Another sib has the typical TBird child reddish brown falls with no horns.

And one other sib looks like a dark TBird with the purple horns and flounces

but has mostly deformed flowers.
