I accidentally pinched my seedlings so my first one to bloom took forever!
Last year I planted like forms together and culled open center dahlias before starting to mark new blooms to eventually save seeds from. When I grew seeds in previous years I didn't save any information about seed parent. This year I'm excited to have more information about them.
This is the only Kelgai Ann seedling to survive my foolish hands this spring. Not a waterlily but it is loaded in buds and my florists will certainly use it. It's funny because I think I can guess where the pollen came from and it wasn't from all the nearby waterlilies. Unfortunately I think it came from Jayleene G, and inherited the shimmer, nice plant and stems part but also unfortunately the form. 😕
