that last one is very nice! I like a white accent in the garden with green too. nice.
there is a small dl called Helicopter from Huben that I want to get but it's too expensive and sold as a single fan, but anyway it's a nice small creamy spider sort of dl.

Dean - Thanks! I'll have to check out Huben's Helicopter.

well, I like both of them, The first photo is gorgeous, and that near white one is great too, .

Jean - There are three seedlings posted. Which both do you like? The first two are sibs.

Debra

Nice!

I like the looks of the second seedling. I think the white midribs are striking, and there's still nice contrast with the sepals.

I really like PC X TI #1. Like the little gold edge and the ruffles. I like the near white too. Is the throat green? It looks green in the clump shot, but more yellow in the close up.
Val

I like the second one but they are all looking good.
Your white seedling is just showing some of the "parent" colors with the pinkish tint.

Julia

You already know which one I like - The white one of course. I have looked for another white DL this spring. I have Joan Senior and Peggy Jeffcoat,(PJ hasn't bloomed yet) I think it's white!! I want one like Artic Frost with pretty ruffles. Sarah

Val - The near white seedling has a yellow to green throat. The first photo of it I shot two days ago, after a cool night. The group shot was today, after a warm night. The green in the throat shows up more after a warm night. On all the previous flowers the yellow was much more noticeable, and you really had to look closely to see the green inside the throat.

Chris, Val, and Julia - That Precious Candy seedling does have nice form, and the double edge. Last year it showed a lot more gold, baubles and teeth on the edge. I think it will take several days of warm temps to produce those. And as I recall, the color improved in a stretch of hot weather. I'll post more photos of it as the season progresses.

Julia - You are right about the white showing the parent colors. Yesterday it looked more like the parchment color of Tuxedo Junction.

Sarah - The near whites really add a cooling effect to the garden. I hope you find one you like.

Debra

I like all three seedlings, but the second one is my favorite.
kay

Thanks Kay! From a technical standpoint, the second is the best.

Debra

Debra, I love the first two photos.I thought both was the same plant, taken at different times, the first photo is gorgeous, and I like that last photo of the white one., its also gorgeous.

jean

Thanks for your clarification, Jean!

I lik #2 the best. It has those pretty yellow frilled edges and the white stripe down the middle is very pretty as well.

Tammy

I really like the second seedling.
Linda

I like the third seedling. I've been having fits trying to find a really great white to plant with Tuxedo Junction, which is already in the ground. What's the bloom size on that one?

Wow....that second seedling is a beauty! They are all pretty but I find the 2nd one irresistible. Great job.

Celeste

Mnclerk - The seedling has a 6 inch bloom on a 28 inch scape right now. But it's still in a crowded seedling bed. When I get it planted in my evaluation bed in full sun, it may grow taller with a larger bloom. I won't be sure of its stats for a couple of years. If you are just looking for a near white to plant with Tuxedo Junction, and don't want to cross the two for seedlings, I would recomment a dip, Margo Reed Indeed.

Celeste - I can't wait until it heats up to see what will happen to the Precious Candy's color. My last photo from last year had such contrast between the petal color and the eye and lots of teeth on the edge.

Debra

I really like the DBD X TJ, a lot. It's looks pretty white to me..Ellie
