2010 Crosses

3/21/11 - Ok, I am finally updating my crosses!!  Here are some photos of the parents, and I hope to get lots of pictures of the seedlings this summer.  Be sure to come back and see them!

BLUEGRASS MUSIC X BLUE HIPPO

SEEDLINGS:

BUBBLE YUMMIN' MAMA X UNK

Most likely, the UNK refers to CRYSTAL SEA or CINDY JONES.  Those were the two parents with which I was crossing Bubble Yummin' Mama, but the tag got so faded, I couldn't read it anymore.  Anyway, I know it was a purposeful cross because it was marked - meaning not a bee volunteer!  The picture above is of CRYSTAL SEA.

SEEDLINGS:

CHINESE WATERCOLOR X UNK

Ugg... this was another purposeful cross where the tag got too faded.  I was using pencil, and changed in the middle of the year once I found a ton of fading!  Now I have this cool pen meant to be used outdoors and on plant tags.  Working much better.  Anyway, the most likely UNK parent here is HEAVEN'S DECLARING.  I wanted this cross really bad, and it was the only plant I was using to cross with CHINESE WATERCOLOR.  But, since technically, I couldn't read it at the end of the season, I am going with UNK.  It is possible I crossed something else here, and just don't remember doing it!

Yet another cross that was made by me, but had faded tags.  I was working with BARN OWL, PIXIE PLAYTHING & OUT OF THE BLUE as crosses to NEUSA GERGEMANN.  We will see what comes out!!

PALACE GARDEN BEAUTY X VINO BRILLANTE

2/15/10 - Well, during the last couple of days, I finally got around to planting my seeds indoors. Seeing as we were buried in snow anyway... why not get a jump on spring? I am hoping they get a nice early start this year and have lots of growth before our brutal summer arrives. I am so looking forward to seeing the 2008 and 2009 crosses bloom this year.

Here is what I have planted so far:
