pic 1b: Even more on the rosy side, smaller eye, less bicolor contrast, but really elegant in my opinion

pic 2b: strong contrast bicolor with only slightly tinted outer petals and deep red inners - a stunner to me

pic 3b: dark one with little yellow outside the throat but clear midlines on all petals, plus a fine bright line at the rims

pic 4b: Not much bicolor contrast left, but nice stripes and wide inner petals

pic5b: A complete surprise to me - darker than the dark parent but clearly contrasted midrib on inner and outer petals

Now I\'m actually in trouble - i only wanted to keep 3 or so, but besides 4a, every one is nice in their own way. I\'ve very much enjoyed this experiment and I\'m more then pleased with the outcome - it\'s even hard to define a favourite, though I think I\'m in love with 5b, even though i started with the idea of creating a nice bicolor...
