Wow - a bunch a really good looking ones. I have a few of the regular form that should be blooming soon. If they are half as nice as these I'll be happy.

Does this mean the odds might be in my favor for an aureum? :smitten: There are some I like better but really a nice group! :clap:
 
Really nice grouping as others have said. What's your next move? Cross two of the best from both color forms?
 
Well, I went ahead and did a couple of sib crosses last night. I took the aureum with the best form and used it to pollinate two sibs with taller stems and decent form. The original aureum parent had a very short stem. The two seed bearing parents, one regular color and one aureum, also were more vigorous growers, having fairly large second growths along with starts on more growths.
