Another interesting 2013 seedling

This is another 2013 seedling (no parentage information and no idea of who might be the mother). This is the first bloom, actually a cluster of seven buds.
Shows some color a little bit, hopefully in a day or two, will open.

    Definitly getting inspired to try growing from seed this coming year! I can't wait to see what this one turns out to look like :)

    Tammy, I am sure you will enjoy it a lot! Just don't sweat too much over it - consider it a pleasant activity to make winter seem shorter:))) That's what I do.

    Here is a progression of the seven-bud spray. It is opening slooooooowly.

    This three photos are of (supposedly) 'Ebb Tide's baby, the one with eleven buds on it.

    And this is a new one. Just beginning to open. I like the delicate apricot color.

    Finally, seven-bud seedling opened it's first flower. I am almost positive that this is 'Blue for You's baby.
    Color is delicate pinkish-lavender, much lighter than it's parent's. Same warm clove fragrance.

    Also, 'apricot' bud opened today. Cute, but does not make your heart skip a bit:))) The fragrance is strong and spicy, very pleasing.

    The two new ones are adorable too! I love lavender, so that Blue For You seedling calls to me :)

    My eleven-bud 'Ebb Tide's seedling continues to open it's blooms. Today's photo.

    The 'Blue for You' baby still holds to it's first flower, the other buds are about to open. As you can see, the color faded quite a bit, but still is very attractive.

    And this is a completely new seedling, showing phototrophy

    And this is the peachy pink seedling - faded and completely opened. Looks like a daisy:)

    I love seeing more of these intriguing photos. The purple bloom still is my favorite. Ebb Tide must be a prolific parent. Thanks, Marina. Diane

    These are gorgeous! You're making me drool... How old are these seedings? You're making me want to try rising some myself!
