Just spent a couple hours going over all the threads I've missed. Especially, just couldn't miss those pictures. Thanks for sharing all the beauties. Do wish I could have them all...lol.

Karyn, does your Langenbuscher Garden have velvety leaves?

My LG cross with a double pink hardly has any fuzz at all.

I did manage to cure it from the nitrogen deficiency but it still has a problem with lumpy leaves that won't smooth out, in between the veins type of lumps.

Super PInk xNoid not so pink! But this is a seedling from spring planting and I expect a flush of 6 flowers this year. Loosing whisker length though...boo. If it weren't for the whiskers being the same as Super Pinks I'd of had my doubts that it was a cross of hers. The next day,

earwigs came out of nowhere and chewed up the flower so I didn't leave the flower on to see if there'd be any further color change. It was almost pure cream on day 1. The pictures show it a little darker than in actual color.

It was only open for 2 days. I'm hoping subsequent flowers will be pinker! The flower texture literally feels velvety, really weird...lol

And, Frosty Pink looks especially white and stronger pink this year. I have a flush of 50 buds coming in this year. And it's still in it's 5 gallon pot...lol I have to water it daily!

Cassie's Curls xnoid will have it's first flower out this weekend and flushes of whites and Charles Grimaldi and Monika are also all expected this fall. And a flower or 2 from one of the other Cassie's Curls - which is also a seedling grown only since spring. 2/3 flowered from seed in their first year within about 5 months. I'm impressed. Thanks Kylie ;) Lots of fluffy leaves on many of Brenda's babies but I'll be waiting for the ones I do keep from all of them to bloom next year - really nice root balls to - they grew fast. Thanks Brenda! I still have 4-6 weeks but no buds on most of all the 5mth seedlings. I wish I had a bit longer growing season but I wasn't expecting any flowers from 1'st year seedlings at all, so I'm happy.

Thanks all - Sandy
