Chris, what do you think about Time For Magic? It will show a lot of different colors over time, much as 5th Dimension does.

Hi Okianer,
Pretty Love Story flower! Is it a long lasting bloom for you? In our conditions they can last for several days.

Hi Charlie, TFM is really interesting imo, the only flowers I have gotten have been yellow with a green overcast and white eye. My only complaint is that the peduncle are so long that the flowers have been hanging down. I think this is due to the fact that the plant is still pretty young and the branches are not very sturdy. It will be interesting to see how it matures and I cant wait to see the more orange and grey tones |

RRG. First bloom, Its hard to see but it has purple and white rings on the outside, much like torch song. It also looks like RRG and TS are the same cross, so that makes a bit of sense.

Dave, very pretty Rosalind. I like it with that much yellow. All your plants look healthy and unstressed!
Below are a few recent photos from here.
1) Suede Buttons - colorful mini
2) Torch Song blooming on Cindy's 4 inch potted plant indoors
3) New first bloom from seedling Creme de Cacao x Gabriel
4) Matador bloom at sunset inside living room

Charlie thanks for sharing Torch song really does look alot like RRG, especially in that photo! I like the new seedling, looks like it took after gabriel. Always love seeing those new seedlings. |

Bart sent me some fantastic photos of his potted Island Queen blooming in October in Kentucky - I'm posting one of them for him below.

Great looking Island Queen Bart. Here's the first bloom on Rainbow Sherbet a few months after some corrective prunning.

thanks Dave,
I love that RS and have considered adding to my, small but soon to increase, collection. Charlie, thank you for post that for me. I have some nice plants blooming now and if I have figured out how to post them, should have them ready by weeks end. I am really happy about by new winter setup...I think. Nothing has died yet!

By-the-way, you can see I have some serious pruning to do. I have to read up on it just a little to make certain I get the right kind of growth I am looking for. I just got that IQ in June in a six inch pot. I have some that have really grown well and are still blooming very aggressively. I really hate cutting those blooms off but I know it has to be done and unfortunately,,,it's time,

Hi Bart,
Did your Island Queen drop many buds during the heat of summer. I'm getting some feedback that it might not be as bad as a lot of doubles in this department. How did it compare to your single flowered varieties?

Charlie, It will be interesting to compare Bart's and my latest arrival of IQ, next year. I bought the 4" pot and will try to grow into a 6" pot by next spring. She looks good!
