Today was cooler and less humid. The flowers took longer to open up but were wonderful. Here are pictures and descriptions of some of the best.
Rocks Cry Out – our 2009 introduction. It is an early season bloomer and looks like nothing else in the garden. Spectacular today and look at yesterdays post on seedlings from RCO.
Seedling 8-5 is a likely future introduction. A kid from our dormant breeder 715-1 crossed with Gavin Petit. The flower is dormant, vigorous, and gorgeous. It first bloomed last year so will be a couple years before we introduce. We will be using it for hybridizing the next couple years.
Seedling 7-3 is (Cast Your Crown x Rocks Cry Out) x Red Friday. It first bloomed last year but did not show teeth. The first bloom this year showed teeth as well as being bitone. Teeth come from Cast Your Crown and Red Friday.
Seedling 133-1 is a first flower today. Luel and I always look for a flower that makes us go “wow” and this one did. Hopefully it will continue to do that in future years. We collected pollen today and will spread some around in the coming weeks. Parents are Cast Your Crown (Korth intro 2009) x Heman.
