| Diamond Years. | Bronze medium Decorative. | Leukaemia. |
The trouble with all this speculating is, you never know what the flower will be like when all the added vigour that a better environment offers. Any one of these beauties could be as course as a cauliflower out of season. I'd say in most cases the flowers will be smaller than you'd anticipate, so that wonderful large bloom you saw in the seedling bed could well be just a average medium when the correct amount of blooms are allowed to be grown on it. This is where I'm beginning to cotton on to what my dear mate John Menzel has gleamed, most times he grows the plant as natural as nature intended. If it throws a bud he'll allow that to develop, and at the same time allow new breaks to mature. Of course the plant has to be developed enough to carry both stem, and bud. Obviously the petal size dictates the type of group it comes from.

Our Pam. |
Take the large decorative above left, or should I say what I think will be a large decorative. If I grow to many breaks on that one, and also on the one I've called Our Pam for easy recognition, they both might turn out to be mediums varieties with extra large petals, which is a totally different thing. It takes a little time to categorize these various new comers, and that is why a special committee was devised. By the way the small variegated, can I say ball at this stage? Will be used to raise funds for the charity it's temporally name suggests. More on this as soon as the variety proves its self.
