I raise between 3 and 8 thousand seedlings a year. Describe the evaluation process you use for your seedlings. After the first flowering, most are discarded. Seedlings are kept if they have good form or show something unusual in color. It is important to me for the seedling to have petals in the center of the bloom that are as long as the outer ones.
Any questionable seedlings have the flowers removed and they are evaluated after the second bloom.
My immediate goals are to develop miniatures with classical form on bushes that have a good plant habit. In the large flower area I am looking to develop long stemmed upright growing plants with classical blooms that have a 2 week vase life when cut. A well rounded plant that is vigorous, and produces lots of perfectly formed blooms. I would say about a hundred. Most of the mother plants I use for miniatures are my own seedlings.
