Second Seedling to Bloom 2015

Well, I think this is probably the first time that I have made two posts on the same day.  I should have waited until I went out to the greenhouse to make my earlier post because there was a second seedling that was blooming that I like much more than the first.  I think that this second seedling may very well turn out to be a "keeper".  It is from a cross of N159-5 X Q62-1.  N159-5 is a seedling from 5 years ago that has been an excellent seed parent for blotches.  It has a complex mix in it's background that includes 'Persian Sunset' and "Tiggle".  Q62-1 came from a cross of 'Eyeconic Pomegranate Lemonade' X "Basye's Thornless".


From here on out, there will be many more seedlings blooming such that in about 3-4 weeks it will be hard to keep up...
