Seedling for Danny

Post by Lessadragon »

Do you remember my little seedling that you liked so much? Here it is this year. It's very slow growing...still only one eye :???: It has substance like it's pod parent...very thick. This is the first year for all of this waviness, and I really like it. For size comparison, that is Gold Drop that's beside it. Hope you all like it.

*I had to edit this post as it was Danny that liked it so much. Sorry Jeroen...I had a brain fart. :oops:

That's beautiful! Like Winter Lightning it might take some work to keep it even looking, but would be well worth the effort :)

Thank you all for the great comments! I wish I could say that I hybridized this one for exactly these characteristics, but in truth, I just got lucky. :???: It is an open pollenated seedling from Aurora Borealis. I wish I knew who the proud papa is. :???:
Mike, I was thinking that it would be a good one for First Look, but not this year. I would like it to give me a few more eyes first. At the rate it's growing, that will be a while.
Pia, if I were to send a division to you, then the boys would have to visit you to see it. But then, they could always come here to see it...
Molly, I have a few names in mind, but am waiting to see it mature a little first. I'm afraid if I name it too soon, something will happen to it. :roll:
Wanda, you are the closest one to me, I think. So keep your felonious thoughts to yourself. :lol: You are always welcome to visit me, but leave your shovel at home!!!
I have a few more babies that I am watching pretty close. Maybe one of these days I will go out and take some pics to share with you. At least here, people appreciate them. Around here I'm more the crazy hosta lady. :lol: :-? :lol:

Who needs a shovel when you have big strong hands and long tough fingers (hehe)? But I would never do that...I want to be REAL good so I can talk you into a piece some day!!! Just wanted to jokingly remind you that there are those who would - so you could take appropriate measures to protect that spectacular plant. Hope you have a hail-safe cover for it...the weather front that shredded Lisa and jgh’s hosta is nearing here and will probably be coming your way later this week.
