The first one is unusual in flowering so quickly, they were sown in 2010.
The second and third illustrate a feature I like - the 'diamond dusted' effect of the flower sparkling in sunlight.

Anne, I've given your new babies their own thread.
Such a pity they will not now be seen at Loughborough AGS Show ( show cancelled because of a gas leak)
I think they deserve this platform.  :)

Very nice to see Anne 8)
It's an ill gas leak that blows no good ;)

Is the quick-to-flower one (3349 K7 x K2) a straight cyclamineus x asturiensis cross or something more complex?

I just love them Anne especially the pots showing such variation - I would be tempted to keep a mixed pot.

Wonderful display of the rewards you get raising from seed.

Very nice, Anne. Candlepower is obviously a good seed parent.

 The fast flowerer is a cross between 2 of Graham Flemings hybrids (Keira nursery).
I was keen to take the mixed pans to demonstrate the big variation you can get from a single pod of seeds, hopefully to encourage growers to have a go.
I'll take some to my local AGS group meeting tomorrow instead.
I should have indicated the scale (where is scale bear when I need her?) the labels you see in the pots are standard 4"(10cm) long and 12mm wide.

Don't bears hibernate in the winter? She's probably still tucked up asleep somewhere.......

Some lovely surprises you must have got when they flowered for the first time Anne. Thanks for sharing. 8)

One opened its first flower during the AGS meeting yesterday - a little cracker. Pic later.
