Hey everyone, hope you’re having a good week so far!<\/p>\n

Yesterday I harvested a seed pod in where I thought there would be no seed at all. Turns out there was only ONE seed. The pod parent was a recent acquisition this year – another clone of an anthocyanin free courtii. Being that it was a recent division and I let it flower this year, it was too stressed to actually properly set seed. The pollen I used was already a few months old as well. It was worth the shot anyway to cross the two plants. I decided it would be a worthwhile photograph to capture the ONE seed in the entire pod.<\/p>\n

How much more value I place on that one <\/em>seed, and the high hopes I have for it. Undoubtedly I will cross the two plants again next year if the opportunity arises. For now, this is what I have to work with for this cross. Just one.\u00a0 There is a high percentage that it could also of been selfed, which would still yield an anthocyanin free plant, but anyway — I am hopeful. I want that leuco represented in this cross.<\/p>\n

So – whats up with the “lost and found” that I referenced in the title??<\/p>\n

After I photographed this pod on one desk I moved it back to another desk to prepare to take the seed. When I arrived at the other desk, >DOH!!!< the seed was GONE! I frantically began to scour the floor in between the two desks with a flashlight knowing full well it would be close to impossible to locate the one seed.\u00a0 I then managed to find a seed under my keyboard.\u00a0 Is the seed I found the<\/em> seed? I won’t know until a few months from now. That’s another project to pursue that I am sure you will be reading about in the future.<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t have a problem say if 2 or 3 seeds formed of this cross this year, but ONE?\u00a0 Egads!\u00a0 Oh well, there’s always next year…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
