Does the name Baby Doll suit?

Herbstein, Germany(Zone 5a)

This little double (10 -12cm) hybrid blooms very well with a strong sweet fragrance. But I have to get used to the look of such a small flower. Would like to know your opinion about it?

Its creamy with a touch of apricot.

Westbrook, ME(Zone 5a)

Name fits perfectly. Is that a new seedling or one you've been watching for a while? It looks small to have so many blooms. I love it!

Great name Monika, I love it. That is so pretty.

Monika, you can't throw it away. The little flowers are really nice, especially in a double.

Its a sister to Fandango, out of the same seed pod. Funny, isnt it?

North Vancouver, BC(Zone 8b)

Monika - you have very high standards - if you keep this one it has to be very, very special.

Cedar Key, FL(Zone 9a)

I'll bet Eric will love that one ,he likes smaller flowers!

Herbstein, Germany(Zone 5a)

I thought about miniatures too - but it grows to good. The growth should be reduced also, I think.


I looked at Baby Doll several times lol It intrigues me, that it looks very much like the smaller white aureas in your book lol but they must be x candida, when they are double lol Please keep it! Its very special! As I see the picture, the leaves are not overly large compared to flowersize. I hope, that the only way you reduce growth by is to take cuttings from the fls. region lol It is so nice as it is, so it would be a shame to spray it with growth reducers :-)

Herbstein, Germany(Zone 5a)

The use of growth reducers are restricted in Germany. I dont have any at home. It would be helpful with seedlings to get them earlier to flower, but I would cheat myself. I wouldnt know anything about growth strength and habit of the new hybrids. Dutch flowers are from the roots up to the top full of chemicals, for instance Azaleas or Primulas, after the quit flowering, they die. It is almost impossible, to keep them alive and get to flower a second time.

i love the small flowers, another beauty.

Baby Doll is perfect!

Coal Center, PA(Zone 6a)

YES ..it suits!
I love it's name (o:

Tulsa, OK(Zone 6b)

This is beautiful, and I have a special feeling about that name. My grandfather had 8 granddaughters, 3 from his son (my Daddy) and 5 from his daughter. He nicknamed all his grandaughters 'Babydoll', then if a little girl answered the phone when he called, he didn't have to worry about which one it was! I always think of him whenever I hear that name.
