Mark,
that are a lot of seedlings. What was their parent plant?

You can always pot them up individually and see what you get  ;D

That 'Prickle' is very nice!

Wim I have difficulty flowering so it's unlikely anything will happen with these. The seedlings are nobilis open pollinated

If only mine flowered as well as John's  :( I'm lucky to get a handful on each plant.

My 11 plants have 11, 9, 2, 5, 12, 4, 6, 5, 7, 10 and 8 flowers. This is an average of only 7 flowers per plant. There is no point keeping for another year.
Feed them Mark!

Oh didn't read that right ::)
I bought some at Dunblane from Ian Christie last month, nothing to unusual but they have plenty of flowers on them, but will have to wait and see what I get next year. I would like to keep them in pots so it will be interesting to hear answers to your last post.

1. Equal parts JI3, Cambark Fine, Perlite.
2. Weekly with 1/4 strength Phostrogen, subsequent to the new leaves appearing until end of September.
Plants are very heavily shaded.
I don't know about "many flowers", but enough to make it worthwhile.
