Re: Re: aphylla hybrids

 

Jamie you are further along than I am: Remember I just moved to a new garden. I am just planting most of the plants I need for this work and still looking for many. I built a sand bed last fall and stocked it with what I could find from the Aril Society. It proved to work very well but I had some problems last spring. I had Andromache for 5 beautiful buds but just before they opened the stalk about a half inch below the bud went limp and the bud laid over. Someone refered to this as goosnecking and I I not sure of the cause. Nevertheless many of the buds on arils did it before I lefty for convention and my hopes of collecting pollen were shattered. Wel theres always next year.

Bob,

I am just at the beginning of this direction.  Still trying to get as many clones/seedlings as possible.  I have a few seedling coming along and the plants from Harald, but have yet to make many crosses.  I had one good pod this season, but it suddenly disappeared.  I didn't want to pamper my plants in pots, but for hybridizing, it may prove prudent.  In any case, I'll let you know how things proceed.

Jamie: I had not read your post before I had sent my last post. It struck me that we have almost identical goals. I will be interested in keeping in touch on your progress.  Bob
