2009 Summer Seedlings - Tetraploid Eyes and Edges

Tetraploid Eye and Edge



STORM SHELTER x CLARITY OF VISION
28" scape, 7.5" blooms, 3 laterals, rebloom
This is a poor photo of an amazing seedling - the petal color has a unique coral cast to it that I can't seem to capture in photos - I've never seen a color like it before and it is stunning - the petals are also more round that they seem to be in this picture. I broke a rule of mine and set 5 pods on this 1st year seedling - pollen from it went all over the garden.



(BIG CITY EYE x MARLA CORTS) X CLARIFICATION
24" scape, 6" blooms, 1 lateral



(BIG CITY EYE x MARLA CORTS) X QUEEN'S CIRCLE
26" scape, 6" blooms, 1 lateral





(BIG CITY EYE x MARLA CORTS) X MARDI GRAS BEADS
26" scape, 6" blooms, 1 lateral



ACROSS THE UNIVERSE x NO BLUE OXFORDS (2)
33" scape, 6" blooms, 3 laterals, instant rebloom. I didn't get first scape bloom photos - this one was from the rebloom scape, very late in the season when cool nights began and the blooms still looked good, with the round petals and ruffling showing well. The colors of this one are very subtle with a soft, baby ribbon pink with a muted purple/lavender eye and edge - very fertile, too.



BRAIDED EDGINGS x MULBERRY WAY
24" scape, 6" blooms, 2 laterals, very fancy wavy edge. Lots of the Braided Edgings sdlgs show fancy edges - Mulberry Way puts a nice plant and scape on almost everything.



PATHWAY OF PEACE x MARDI GRAS BEADS (1)
27" scape, 6.5" blooms, 2 laterals, instant rebloom. I never got to take a photo of this one on an overcast day so the true color saturation could show in the picture, but this is another wonderful combination of the Emmerich and Norris lines.





PATHWAY OF PEACE x MARDI GRAS BEADS (2)
25" scape, 6" blooms, 2 laterals, instant rebloom



PRELUDE TO PANOPLY x CLARIFICATION
28" scape, 6.5" bloom, 3 laterals, easily fertile!!! - narrow blooms but great coloration and ruffling



MULBERRY WAY x T04-07 (Spacecoast Picotee Prince x Sabine Baur)
24" scape, 6" blooms, 2 laterals



TOAST AND JAM x BELLE OF ASHWOOD
30" scape, 5.5" blooms, 2 laterals, instant rebloom



UNENDING MELODY x ROCK SOLID
32" scape, 6" blooms, 3 laterals, 25 buds, very wide sepals, this one and 2 siblings got major hybridizing attention this past summer. The form, ruffling, clear color, excellent scape and long bloom season made it a frequently visited plant for setting pods and using the pollen.
