Taking Root

A few more photos of the next generation! Photos taken on 26 May 2012 from plants sown on 13 May 2012  – germination method described by this post. I’m fascinated and so excited to see them starting to take root! More updates to come from this generation of crosses, so stay tuned! Hope for the future is taking root…

This cross above that I described is *very* significant for me because the pod parent was actually a cross I did back in 2008! It’s amazing and exciting to be at this point to see that I’m coming up with hybrids and crosses from the crosses I’ve done in years past. Freaking exciting, yo! S. ((purpurea ssp. purpurea x rubra ssp jonesii) x (leucophylla x rubra ssp. gulfensis)) was the cross and check out some of the prior posts on this plant here, here, here, and here. Dude, for me to be at a point to breed using your own past crosses is something so marvelous.
