I stopped counting at 253 and there are still more emerging. It's finally warming up here.
BTW Joosa and Yann, my Judith Hindle is being sluggish this year too. I divided it a few months ago and it's currently in a big 15inch ceramic pot with only 3 buds showing so far. Go figure....
251 for me - including this oddball: A two headed S. rubra gulfensis:
Does it count as one or two?
I'm no expert but I would count the double flower as three.
Finally got a chance to go out and count: 12!
hummer's hammerhead: 1
purp venosa: 1
flava rubricorpora: 1
minor: 2
alata: 1
leuco: 1
unknown: 2
rubra wherryi: 1
purp purp hetero: 1
jonesii green: 1
Big Mamma I believe is a rosea - though I can't say that I've ever seen a flower so light in color. Nice!
As Brokken said Fred, I also believe "Big mamma" is a purp var. burkeii. Maybe the petals will color up a bit more with some sun light It would be nice to have descriptions of the plant when people attempt to create a cultivar. Keep us updated on it's development!
Hmmm, I smell an antho-free x chelsonii (purp x rubra subsp.) Will you be crossing those?
