a continuation of maybe from last night. now to find those pieces parts. and add the eggs-plan-nations. and maydid even make sense. or come relatively close to sense.
the closest image i could find of Gail Braunstein is a seedling of Gail Braunstein. not an exact match still it is a purple flower marked ‘almost Gail.’ and that is close enough for tonight… yeah relatively close…

I am convinced you have magical talents to bring forth such beauties. They are a joy to behold.
Maybe persistent talents. Though the results certainly are magical. Thanks Lauren.
Magical results indeed.
brilliant
Thanks Lisa
Thanks for sharing the process, John. The picture at the bottom is lovely. The light is perfect.
Not quite as complex as java. And more complex than java. Fortunately all I have to do is keep track of the pictures. Or almost.
I’d be looking at those flower beds and saying, “that’s a daylily, that’s a daylily, and that one over there, that’s a daylily.”
And that is close enough. It is not a snap quiz.
On a cold winter morning it is so wonderful to see such beauty in my inbox.
And it goes with tea. Thanks
to borrow a line from Young Frankenstein “It’s alive.”
I wonder, John, how you manage to keep the different types of hybridization. Are they fixed?
In friendship
