I'm sure most of the selled GREEN MILE were twinscaled.
first bulb =3 years
next 8-10 bulbs = also 3 years

Al my seedlings of green look very very different. And I cannot say the children of green parents will be more green. It is also a question of good luck. I also like stripes and blotches and blur, sprayed, sparkled marks and faces It should be a nice composition and a real good flower should be unique.

.. just wondering if people have established 'green mile' now and it's starting to filter into regular trading circles?

I have never seen it offered for sale (other than from the nursery where it originated) nor growing in someone's garden.  It's hugely expensive and I imagine the start-up cost puts most people off.

Hello folks outside,

the green I showed you came from an Christkind and was a gift. It is called MATT BISHOP and the name of the christchild is a little secret......

If you would have green blood in your veins, you would have patience also.
How do you mean I have to wait from the first flower to the next flowering seedling? 5-6 years.

But with GREEN MILE it is another way.
I could shorten the time of waiting with money.

If you have only seed - forget the money!

I also have a new little greenish seedling, from a cross in 2010 between a garden centre find and Modern Art. Mother is also shown  :)

Both very nice, Anne, but I actually prefer the parent (GCS2) to the child.

Yes, the two-tone mark and crinkly outers are nice.
