December 01, 2013 First presentation of this seedling.

Pavel: "New yellow seedling at the show"



May 07. 2014

Semi double, very unusual form and color combination.
Pedunles are thick and strong. Rosette is accurate.

Flowers stay for a very long time (more than a month) That enable this hybrid to create the hat of flowers (see glossary viewtopic.php?f=22&t=445)

Pavel: June 18 th, 2014 " These flowers are more than one-month-old. Blooms are huge especially for double"





First photos from forum: May 08th, 2015 from Сандра



March 30th 2015 Pavel: "Plant is getting larger. Flower stocks are very thick and strong"

I am adding images of DS-Want and Will that were posted to the Russian forum since March 30th. Somebody asked me why DS-Want and Will is not flowering double for him.

Doubleness may depend on age and growing conditions. If growing conditions are not great, the plant is not strong enough to produce extra petals. Pavel always has these hybrids as double as do some other growers whose pictures I added today. I on the other hand do sometimes have flowers without additional petals. Some hybrids are always double and some can react this way. We call these hybrids conditional double (see Table/Catalog)

Oct 18th grower Olechka777:

She isnot sure why her plant is not blooming right. My guess is the plant looks rather small and weak for so many blooms, so it does not have enough "energy" for the doubleness.



This blooms may not have enough "energy" to fully open.




All-in-all this hybrid lives up to its name: Want and Will or not Want and Will:-)
