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! |
