Seedlings of 'Red Galaxy'

To gain a better understanding of this post, please review my earlier post of April 16, 2014 (My latest "SCIENCE PROJECT"), and also the material that you will read by clicking on the TAB labelled German Seedlings.

Four of my six seedlings from 'Red Galaxy' have produced their first blooms already, but two have yet to develop flower buds (hopefully they will soon catch up).  Below you will see photos of the first four seedlings with their first blooms; I have identified the seedlings by their birthdays.

With my "trained eye", I am seeing in these blooms some of the attributes of 'Red Galaxy' and even what I think are ancestors of 'Red Galaxy'.   As the bloom shown in the 3rd photo aged,  the "volatility" inherent in the ancestry of 'Red Galaxy' becomes apparent, as you can see in the photos below.
