A new seedling bloomed for me yesterday.
Today I was trying to update my hybridizing files and realized all the looks I have gotten from just one seedpod.
One good cross should fill your yard with different brugs
And then there was this one
And this one
and
This goes to show that not all seeds from the same pod are going to look the same!
Even a white one
Each one prettier than the one before, I LOVE the first and the last!!!! What is the cross???
I love them all
And Karrie they are all sizes too! And shapes. And colors. LOL
Can anyone guess this cross? No cheating if I have mentioned the cross to you before or posted it with a pic in the past.
And a huge one.
I meant to mention the 2nd too, the 2nd and last look similar, they are soooo pretty!!!
I'll take a guess! Rosamond & Pink Beauty????
Ok so someone tell me... the white blooms look a pale shade of green on my computer monitor, does it on yours? If not tell me how to adjust the color on my monitor.
Thanks Judy
They had just opened Judy and had not turned all the way white yet. I just take a qucik shot for my photo seedling journal to give me an idea of what I have gotten from a cross before I toss them or move them.
that's so awesome. Great that you showed how many differnt plants that can come from a single cross.
Yep, I agree Donna, I've known that each cross could be different, and Kell's photos really tells the story. I planted 45 of one cross, and the all sprouted, sorta boggles my mind, considering that there could be so many different blossoms, shapes and fragrances...
Sometimes you can see major differences in the leaves a long time before they're big enough to bloom! It isn't a fair comparision, because it's a mixture of seeds, but I have several of your pink salad group, and every one is different. Oh, I better explain the 'pink salad', huh? You sent me a package marked 'mixed pinks'. Well, mixed pinks reminds me of mixed greens, mixed greens is salad, so these have have always been pink salad in my mind!
Whew!! I thought either my eyes or the computer screen were on the blink!! Thanks for the explanation.
Judy
Pink Salad....... I like that! :-)
That's pretty cute Ronna, do you mind if I call mine Pink Salad too?? Have yours Yed?? Do you have buds and expect then to bloom this season???
They are all gorgeous!
:) Donna
Kell, they're all pretty, what a variety from one cross. I really like the white one, love the calyx.
I'm growing Mixed Pinks too, none of mine have y'd yet.
They look fantastic, Kell.
Some of those are breathtaking! I like that last white too!!! Looks Pixie-ish. Thanks Kell.
Kell, magical, really.
Such an interesting thread... the possibilities are what makes growing from seed so exciting.
so what was the cross?
Those are nice Kell. I really like the first flower.
How weird, I answered this last night and my post is gone!! Karrie, it is EP X L'A.
I forgot to look for some pics of Rosamond X Pink Beauty for you. I have 2 of those from Susie seeds and they look very much like their parents. They make big strong plants. One of mine flowered a sl darker pink for me than Rosamond. And one has longer tendrils. Both make impressive big flowers.
They're all beautiful Kell. You must be having a ball with all your seedlings.
I'd like to try some "Pink Salad" seeds if anyone would like to help get me started on them! I enjoyed growing from seed my first year. Amazing how fast they grow once they germinate.
Kell did the first one darken up as it aged?
I haven't been back there since, Barb. That was Tuesday I took that pic. I am going soon so I will look. I sure liked her looks.
She is next to a huge Rosebelle but that has been planted in the ground for a few years so no fair comparing them; since this one is underpotted in a 5 gallon can, but they looked alot alike except mine is smaller. LOL, how was that for huge run on sentence?
Thanks everyone. Karrie I do not think I have any left. I will look.
Here is a Rosemond x Pink Beauty pic for you. I call it Pinkmond2.
Kell - if you don't, just keep me in mind for your next seeds, if you are going to be doing any pollinating again. That Pinkmond2 is very pretty!
It is so unique the difference in flowers that were all from the same pod. I like think they are all pretty in their own individual way.
Great photos Kell ... can't wait to see if the 1st one has darkened up or the 3rd one. That is too cool ... thanks for sharing. I need to go talk to mine .... they best get to growing.
