In my 25 or so, some seedlings have strong red coloring at the base of the shoot. Did you find that there s a corelation between this coloring and flower color or intensity?
I've had this several times - Phrags mostly. I sterilise a scalep or razor blade, surgically remove all I can see with tweezers, then spread a generous amount of cinnamon on the wound. It usually works, but I might do a seconf operation if I haven't removed enough.
I once had a nice small clump that was starting to do well but then one Spring, the voles dug it up and ate the buds. Anything like that ever happen to you? The lab where I bought it went out of business and never found it again (in Quebec that is)
I bought a flask of the primary cross, not the sib cross, of Phrag Lovely Lynne from Mike Tibbs 2 years ago and they are now starting to flower. The plants are small but the flowers are relatively large for the size of the plants. I recuperated 28 planlets from the flask and will be posting...
Definitely not a glanduosa but rather an Unchained Melody. Have the same plant. Glandulosa is very very rare if it's around at all. Here's Elisabeth and Jean-Claude George's description.
