My Pretties

13 years ago

{{gwi:379772}}. This opened the most beautiful pale lime green with saturated emerald center. It is much lighter now but still a fine flower.

Wedding Dance

Sweet Nymph, 1st bloom

{{gwi:379773}}. This first one is nice! Weird stamens, but I really like the simple shape and think they show off the gorgeous colors. {{gwi:379774}}. This one is more doubled but still pretty. Sweet Nymph, 2nd bloom.

{{gwi:379775}} I just LOVE Naranja! Pure orange perfection!{{gwi:379776}}

My Orange "Red Peacock"

Your Pretties are pretty indeed! Don't you just love the back of "orange" Red Peacock, just as pretty as the front! Your Sweet Nymph has great color, I think next year they will all do better, for all of us.. you wouldn't have a stigma on that single SW would you..Grand Cru is a lovely red..with the pollen from lovely Wedding Dance, you could make some interesting crosses...

The seedpods are really swelling on Shirley May..shouldn't be too much longer...but they are still green...

Yes, Donna, that white back is special. I would like that to be one of the traits I breed into more bright colored ones!
