Hey everyone!

Didn't get much of a chance for pictures today (a few sinningias)

I am SO stoked you are going to want to grow out some of my seeds Nichole. I'm gonna need you to *lol*

We'll make it a fun fall/winter project! I can't wait!

So far the crosses that HAVE taken are:

Miriam G x guttata (already collected seed)
Los Angeles x guttata (seed pod almost ripe)
Ozark Coral Freckles x Los Angeles (seed pod almost ripe)

I will soon been pollinating these:

Ozark Double Snowrose
Miriam G
HCY's Taurus

I was thinking of crossing Ozark Double Snowrose with guttata, Miriam G with Ozark Coral Freckles and HCY's Taurus with Gabriel's Horn........we'll see :)

Here are the few pictures that I grabbed before I dismantled them for seed purposes *lol*

The first picture is Miriam G
The second picture is Ozark Double Snowrose
The third picture is HCY's Taurus (note the bloom in the background)
The fourth picture is a closeup of the first flower
The fifth picture is a closeup of the send flower (the flower in the background)

Quite a variable plant so I suspect offspring will also be variable as she will be the mother and Gabriel's Horn is VERY variable also. So if this cross takes; I suspect it will be exciting to watch each new baby bloom when they reach that age.

I also LOVE Miriam G in person and think that the striping of it is very unique. I think crossed with Ozark Coral Freckles is going to be quite unusual also. I sure hope this one takes!

I said I wasn't going to order again but.....

Needless to say, I will be adding:

SRG's Lavender Eruption, SRG's Blue Pearl and SRG's PYOU to the gene pool *lol*

I wanna write so much more but hubby just walked in with Chinese.......priorities you know *lol*

Hope everyone is having a GREAT weekend!
