Mike,

Looks to me like you've got a lovely Dancing Queen..hope you didn't already have one..Yours looks like an Orangey Red and I know that First Love is a lovely soft (not too pastely) pink and white. And, I too got a Sweet Nymph in place of Pink Nymph..Your Sweet Nymph is very pretty, not as messy as mine, but the outstanding color kind of makes up for her disheveled look. Yours is prettier than mine was and your color is just gorgeous!! I think you've got two good ones there!
I also got an Elvas as a mislabel instead of White Peacock so, if you've got more bulbs yet to bloom you might end up with an Elvas through the back door so to speak...

on the Sweet Nymph 2 of the 4 flowers on the first scape are singles-are any of yours that way too?
I am still waiting on San Remo, Gervase, and Charisma--I'm not sure I would want them to be any thing else, and I couldn't resist a few of the Lowe's potpourri I'm hoping for some pleasant surprises there .....

Mike if you have single flowers on any double form what an opportunity!! If you have a fully formed pistol with 3 pronged stigma make sure you put some of Dancing Queen's pollen on her..what an opportunity!! Let's see a picture of your singe flowers..If you are able to pollinate a double with a double I would guess that you double your chances for a double flower (I could be wrong).Let us know what you do...And if you are lucky enough to have fully formed female parts of your flower dab the pollen on twice a day for a couple of days to maximise your chances..All of us who play bee always hope for that single flower on a double!!! Good Luck!!

Dancing Queen and Sweet Nymph. Who did you get these from??

Donna,
Here is the single Sweet Nymph.
It just has 2 lobes on the stigma. I clipped the pollen off after reading the post this morning (in case you wondered where it was) I will try to pollinate it anyway.
Kristi,
I'm not sure which ones came from where anymore, I didn't get any of them directly from companies. I have 5 large independent nurseries near me they all had great selections-with an unlimited budget I probably could have gotten 20 different varieties. I picked up a couple more today that had already bloomed for $5 -Neon Rose, has another scape on the way, and Jungle Star(I'm pretty sure)had only one scape so far and I hope for another.
