As I said, they are on their own, Some stems are at finish other stems are taking over and some are germinating. The will be there till the end. I am not so fond of doubles.

Rafique, I normaly let them grow naturally, for mass effect I plant more densly.

I tried them year before last the dwarfs were worthless. A few years back i grew regular size and did not like them as they did not have the beauty of singles.

Blieve it or not.
Year before last a friend gifted me 4 seedlings, they were all yellow, Last year I had enough of my own seed, there were a few rusty ones. this year I have thousands as borders and beds. To my surprise I have quite a feww red ones, white and mixed ones. I am segregating them in pots (red & white), a ply of genes.
They produce so much seed that I can provide to all member if desired.
Thats amazing brig sb, i collected wallflower seeds from the yellow tall variety a few years ago and planted them but still they came out tall yellow again no change of trait :|
Please do save seeds from the red and white ones for us :)

Sir, Plz save some seed for me as well, if possible. And look at the antirrhinum shaping up so well, never seen so healthy antirrhinum, before . Would love to see pictures when they bloom fully.
