They look great! I like the nice, deep green tones in them.

Very nice! I like the 'twisty' look of that middle one with the pointed leaves. Different!

The first two are my favorites but I wouldn't say no to the third one either!

Wow, those are all nice. I'd have to say the second is my favorite, too.

Well, I guess they did!!!! What little beauties! If those have been through several rounds of culling, I'd like to have what was culled the last go-a-round! :D

The first two are from a Don Dean Streaked seedling that I bought the seeds from. The last is from a friends personal hybridizing efforts and I call it "Lauries Blue".

Above and beyond the fact that I think they are pretty cool looking, they all have personal meaning to me.

Thanks for the nice comments :D
