This is one of my seedlings that bloomed once before this season and that was the first time it had ever bloomed. The cross is Rosamond x Dbl Peach. They were nice looking white-apricot colored blooms but each bloom showed signs of wanting to be a double so I decided to hold her over for at least one more flush. Ok, so two weeks ago she started to flush out. Again singles with double tendencies. I decided to chop her down and compost it. I was busy the rest of the week so I waited until today to go do the dirty deed....Low and behold she put out her first beautiful double blossom....I know she knew that saw was coming out this weekend!!!
So, now I'm sure you guessed it. I decided to hold her over at least until the end of fall 2009 to see which direction she wants to go. Next fall I'll see a new flush and make my decision then.....DANG!!!
