So many polychromatic yellow, greenish and near white seedlings. Most with teeth, tentacles, or at least a nice edge just a bunch of quick shots taken of seedlings this afternoon. Starting to cross the greenest clearest to richest most saturated colors of purples and reds I have. I just love trying to guess what is going to work out like I want hybridizing.







Double seedling blooming again today plus some shots of three nice clean dark reds with great scapes blooming. Of course I didn't groom plants or area first before taking photos.

Color isn't as red as I'd like but fairly good for first generation of Fringe Theory x Santa's Little Helper. FT added the teeth and tentacles to edge. Should be a good start to a fringy red.
This other plant just kept asking to be selected looking just like this every day. Scapes are little short for my normal tastes but foliage is short to so no problem seeing bloom above it.

Another couple of red seedling with good traits. Strong tall scape with great bud count and branching. Among all the new red seedlings only one has anything  close to teeth. Well I guess I have got to get to work on that.

First is W3006 which is a Fringe Theory baby. Second was just set aside yesterday to further evaluate. It is a cross of W3006 back to Fringe Theory not sure it is easy to see in photo the extra build up of edge and more noticeable sculpting.

W3006 x Fringe Theory.
 
W3006 clump was divided. I had planned on registering it over winter but I never took stats. Even though bloom looks right plant itself isn't what is was before dividing so I hate to take stats from how it is presenting this year. I guess not too big a deal I guess since I don't really want to deal with marketing and shipping plants, so no hurry.

I think I am going to enjoy breeding with these new seedlings. They are two different seedling but share a same parent seedling in breeding background. I cant seem to get good pictures of these maybe its the excitement over the good bud count and branching. LOL


Showing off some seedling blooms to a friend and got photographed. These were marked for division of clumps over fall/winter. Illness and travel for work sucked up all my time to get it done. The first two are same bloom I am holding. Wasn't happy with how it looks in photos in general especially my hand.

This fine surprisingly cool Florida May 1 day brings me two interesting seedlings blooming from cross Fringe Theory x The Ultimate Sacrifice. I can hardly wait for warmer days. I think they may make teeth. I hope as that's what I was trying for.


A pot of Fringe Theory growing at a friends house. Joe grows plants better than I generally do. But then he does the show thing, something I generally don't even think about. Taken April 28 2015.
