'Grainger's Little Devil'

When 'Grainger's Little Devil' was a seedling I could tell it would be a miniature.  When seedlings branch quickly it is a good sign.  And a stellar that grows thick is another good quality, as many older varieties need regular pruning to keep a good shape.  'Grainger's Little Devil' has green foliage with reddish petioles and single red blooms.  The one flaw is that the petals drop (shatter) fairly easy, so hopefully I can use it to breed a double with similar leaf and growing habits.  It clones easily, and all of my stock plants are loaded with blooms right now.

The weather in Southern Ontario is rain, rain, and more rain!  For the month of May I cannot recall another another that has been so wet.  We are at least 2 weeks behind in heat.
