Blooming seedlings!

It's been a few years since I planted four dozen assorted seeds ordered from Brad's, but I was blessed with several inflos over the last couple of seasons.

Here are four new ones, in order of Wow Factor :)

Second Mardi Gras seedling inflo, on about a 3-1/2 y.o. plant that's about 2-1/2 feet tall. Tiny, but has a strong jasmine scent and good color potential:

Second Veracruz Rose seedling inflo (the first VCR seedling dropped all its buds--wah!), on a palm-tree like plant that's the same age as above but about 3 feet tall:


Good size and color potential, and sometimes a good scent, too.

First Mardi Gras seedling inflo, with a 3-1/2" bloom that fades quickly. It's barely 3-1/2 y.o. and 3 feet tall:


Can't really blame it for fading in nearly 100 degree heat :)

And finally, this Muang Sayyem seedling that just opened, after an excruciating wait. The first few buds dropped so I'm happy to have some survivors:



Soooooo close:

It needed some coaxing:

Finally!!

Totally worth it! Hard color to capture but this is pretty close:

Hope you enjoyed those. Feel free to make suggestions on names of the first, second or last ones!
