LOL! I always wanted to start a thread using L@@K! Rather funny to see those eyes! Anyway ...

Of the 4 seeds that germinated out of 15 (of the F2 Blue Speckles) that I sowed in cups, 2 have bloomed this weekend for me.

The vines are small and the one vine dropped all it's leaves from rust treatment, but new ones are growing back currently. Now granted, they are being grown at this moment in 8 oz. cups. So they are extremely dwarfed. Both were unexpected.

This first one shows a pale blue bloom with a few scattered darker speckles. It was taken early in the morning before the sun was bright enough to light up the sky, so it is a little dark. The blooms are the same size as the parent plant. I did not cross any of the blooms on the Blue Speckled vine. I self-pollinated all them. These two vines are picking up some recessive genes or some mutant genes. I was told that it does have the kikyo gene in it, so I am seeing something similar in the second plant.
