Gladiolus violaceolineatus

Thats beautiful.....

Thanks! What will be nice is the daylily I won on eBay last night - Dragonfly Dawn. Take a look at www.trimmerdaylily.com for what it has produced for them.

OMG Wylie I'd be excited about that one its out of this world!!! and the offspring those patterns I've never seen so many beauties, it'll be so exciting to see what you get from this can't wait.

Can you tell I'm excited, and its not even me that's bought it!!!:-))
I'm now going to spend the next hour just zooming in on those pictures.............

But you know that I have no problems sharing seed ;)
Last fall I saw on the LilyAuction that seeds using Dragonfly Dawn were going for up to $25 per seed!! I am hoping for a couple of flowers this year, and if I'm lucky at the same time some on Whale Tails.

I know you don't Wylie I've the greenhouse full of seedlings to prove it lol :-)))so exciting.
OMG the crosses you could make the lovely 'Core Values' and 'Life is a Highway' of yes!! 'Whale Tails' would be stunning I bet,you have so many gorgeous ones now the possibilities are endless,you'll be running round with the paintbrush like a man possessed lol, I would be ;-).
$25 per seed!!!, mind you the fact that so many keepers are being produced by it its not such a gamble getting a good one.
Still excited lol ;-)

It is a single fan, so it may or may not flower this year - fingers crossed!

I bet it does Wylie they all love your garden and grow like triffids ;-)

My new plants came today and the bonus was 'Ledgewood's Born Free'. 'Guarding Gnomes' was supposed to be a single fan, but I received two pieces of 1 fan and 2 fans.

Forgot about you ordering 'Guarding Gnomes' another lovely one, you'll be getting some great patterns I can see :-)nice bonus too.

While the photo on Tinker's is nice, the breeder (Abajian) has a better photo on the AHS site. I bought 3 plants from snapdragonplants on eBay, but they have been in transit for over a month now. I sent them a message yesterday to say they haven't arrived, but no response yet.

O h yes just looked see what you mean much better picture.
Have you heard back from Snapdragon yet? they're usually really good, know I had a few wrong plants from them and they said they'd give me my money back if I wanted to return them but actually they were quite nice plants so I kept them and I did manage to id two of them, that's where I got the not 'Diane Taylor' from ;-)they were selling another recently that looked very like it, meant to go back and check it out.

I opened a case, and they got right back to me. I requested a refund because I have wasted a lot of time being available and waiting for either the mailman or a delivery service to come by. There was a change to mail that has special handling. It was switched to a new delivery company - I got some new trainers from eBayUK, and they had trouble finding my house even though the number is on the mail box and in 3" numbers over my front door. I also bought some CD's from Presto Classical in the UK, and that has been 3 weeks since they shipped, but not arrived. My new daylilies arrived from Germany with no problems, just the Royal Mail.
