Seedlings

Here's a couple of seedlings that are blooming for the first time. Almost all have been ugly, but I thought these two were pretty and I'll watch them for another year. Several dozen others are heading to the compost.

The first is a seed from Helen Collingwood and the second from Jean Cayeux.

Like them both, Mike! The first has an 'historical' appeal to me, like my idea of a treasured heirloom iris.

I too like them both but the second one appears to be like the one we have here that we used in our cross. This one seems to glow.

Oooh - yours appears to have a wire rim of color around the falls! Very unusual. And yes, similar color tones to the one of mine.

I am looking forward to seeing what these two do next year. I'm told not to judge branching or bud count the first year, but just color and form.
