Hi all. Another dry day, work as usual and a bit of time to look around my plants. Spring has sprung and everything seems to be growing. I have been watching a few flowers developing and questioning myself which ones do I really want to collect seed from. If it is not common then it is a definate. I returned the visit of a member and collected a couple more plants, the old swap-a-roo. She and a friend of hers have done a bit of hybridising. I hope to learn more from her so that I too can pass on further information.
I downloaded information from the glossary of terms for brom identification, now all I have to do is learn what they mean. There have been some fantastic piccies shown and I sure can relate to Trish, i think, I want them all.
Have a good one.
