Spring is here! I took a couple of pics today of my leafy kids with some blooms in various stages of development. I hope this is a delicious season in the making......

This is Rose Quartz Multiflora. Looks like a multi truss to me. This was from old seed and the only plant to grow.

This is Brandy Boy F?. The nice man who sent me the seed didn't tell me how many generations of seed he saved. Oops! Nice truss, though. Hopefully it's yummy!

This is a volunteer that started growing late in the fall. I put the plant in its own pot and it needs a bigger home. I think its a volunteer of a hybrid called Orange Blossom. Lots of blooms. I hope these turn out well. I like the growth habit.

That's awesome checkerkitty! When did you start these from seed?

Nice pics! Have you grown the rose quartz before? How do they taste?

These are great ! I have only one open flower on my Iditarod.

That Orange Blossom looks like it's going to be a nice bushy plant, great pics, and I wish you a very productive season!
