let's see those seedlings pictures

I would love to see any pictures of your seedlings please. Mine haven't bloomed yet and I have no new photos to share but I would love to be entertained in the meantime by yours PLEASE

Hard to tell, but there are ten seedlings on the table. All started at the same time, but with very different germination.

It amazes me how they grow at different rates depending on the hybrid.

Hi, I started my seeds from Calas Tropicals the end of April, no y's yet, but I am hoping. These are my first brugs (21!:)
I did an experiment with planting 5 in 10 gal. containers (in Miracle Grow potting soil) about 6 weeks before planting the rest (1 gal) directly in the ground. The ones in MG are about 4 feet tall, ones in ground maybe 2'. I guess the name MG speaks for itself!

wow K~~That is going to be a great brug fence
what are the crosses?

wow root~~ yours are lookin good, I have some rosamond x lamour that have decided to be tree forms and will not Y I should not have let them go dormant in the GH, i will know better this year.

Here are some of mine. This picture was taken July 2, so they are much taller now and some are Y'd and budding.

Wow again root! When did you start yours?
Mine were labeled Orange, peach & yellow crosses & 1 packet of "mixed seeds". Which crosses do you all have?
Here's another view of them in pots vs. ground;)

I am growing a bunch of CCs' crosses.

Lake effect and golden lady are blooming
think I'll try that cross....
Maybe theyll grow fast with the LE genes

OK but I'm not showing my ragged,weedy rows

And a pink

Another pink

An x flava

And one last pink.None of these are named yet.These are 5 probable keepers out of about 50 that have bloomed so far this year.

Now you've got me wondering if I should try growing some seedlings next year. How long does it usually take for a plant to reach blooming size? I have grow-lights so I could start seedlings inside but I'd have to time it so they don't get more than 6" tall before I can move them outside in April. How long does it usually take from planting indoors to the 6" seedling stage? What is the usual winner:dud ratio? I'd have to be rather aggressive about culling since I have a small yard and no greenhouse. Is it reasonable to assume if a brug has nondescript pale flowers its first year that it's not going to be very good and the potential "keepers" will show at least some color or good form to indicate they should be carried over for a 2nd year?
