Hehe Hi Ian how are things with you. The seedlings do look good don't they, I think you will find they are only third year seedlings and not being released for sometime (but I could be wrong)

Hope you and yours are doing well.

What happened to the small pink cactus of yours?

All my best Ian

I won with Joan Walker and Trelyn Kiwi in the special classes,at Harrogate last year, the exhibitors who were second and third in this, used Winholme Diane. DC Dahlia sent me Joan Walker in 2013

So if I could win with it, you can.

Hapet ideal min semi cactus . Not a good bloom as I foliar fed over it with comfrey so it's dirty etc... but I like it and if I can get three decent ones I will enter it in the bi colour or min class. I think a day or two away from peak. Not a long stem but very strong. Going to Run now on a wing bud to draw it up.

To save on the scrolling, I've put a link to my 1st photo of this Wyn's Favourite bloom, (rather than the full sized photo itself) to compare with this photo I took yesterday.

My 1st photo of the bloom

One very soggy Birkenshaw Wyn's Favourite Tel my Dad thought you might like to see it. He really is impressed by it.

Same bloom Tel my Dad wanted me to show you this photo. He really rates it. (The Wyn's Favourite - not my photography ability.

)

Looks quite nice now.
