In case it didn't speak for itself enough for you:
0212 "Rogue," in the post from Friday, was the 100th of my Anthurium seedlings to bud and produce a full bloom, which happened about a month ago. I then spent like a week and a half trying to create the above composite image for this post, which I know it doesn't look like a week and a half of effort but getting the colors to shade into one another, even this imperfectly, was a difficult problem to solve.
There are 8 new first-time blooms since I put the picture together a month ago, who you'll be meeting in October, and I'm watching another 13 buds that may or may not ever open. For a while this summer, I was seeing a new first bud every two days on average, which I'm pretty sure has never happened before.
So this post and image isn't the end of anything; the posts will keep coming. I'm just taking a moment to say, hey, wow, 100 blooms is kind of a big deal, and here's what four years of Anthurium breeding can get you.

Beautiful! And worth all the effort it took to produce both the plants and their pictures!
OMG that is so spectacular. I can relate so well with your work being a horticulturist as well. I am so impressed, i know how difficult also to make that collage of color arrangement. So you have a very wide space to accomodate every seedling from a single cross, which you have a lot, and there are more. I also felt it would be very difficult if one plant lost a tag, because all of them are very near each other in characteristics and color. Congratulations.
