Very nice - I share some of these varieties too. I like the dark shades of the royal velvet. I have crossed this with another very dark red variety, Benfica, and am looking forward to seeing the blooms in a few days - hopefully very dark red too.

Wonderful, especially love the Gervase and the soft pastel colours of that cross with limona.

Perfect show for this cloudy March here in UK

Thanks

Hi Xuan,

All very pretty. Your Sweet Nymph is a bit peachy this season or maybe it's just the shot..very pretty whatever color.

If you mean that your picotee is not so healthy due to the short stem you are not alone. I have what was bought as Pasadena but think is Charm, merrily blooming away on a stunted stem too.

I like your Limona?? cross too it's very delicate and soft I"ll bet it's really pretty in real life close up.

I love Gervase! I just bought a pot with 3 Gervase bulbs. I can't wait until they put on their show. Each bloom totally different from the others.

Very pretty flowers! Thank you for sharing the photos with us! -Tina

Donna, I have had a few "short-stemmed" blooms this season. I believe they were not sufficiently watered when they were scaping for I left them alone in my mountain home and the helper only watered them once a week!

I don't complain though, because I have been very busy looking after our grand child the past year. In the past, I had more time tending my plants.

Thanks for your comments.

Xuan
