Why are the orange seeds always so slow?

As of this morning I have 8 of 13 up.

Up: Both 604 Warren, 125 and 964 Wolf, 857 Christensen, 1186 Bowles, 1185 Bortner, and 1092 Martin (Yes!!).

Not up: 1016, 1040, and 1071 C, 1290 Poirier, and 869.5 Calai.

So, I have two orange seeds up, the 857 and 1186. But the other five that are not up are the heart of the orange plans. What is odd to me is, every year it is like this! The no-color seeds come up quickly and easily, while the color seeds take their time and have spotty performance. Oh well, it's only day 3. More of them will come up. No need to panic yet.

The Calai is a year 2000 seed, so it might take some time.

The others... if they don't show by this time tomorrow, I have plenty of backups to try.
