The seedlings are growing and it has been remarkable to witness the growth and evolution of these babies. It’s really exciting to see how these are shaping up. These are a few photos to document the growth and journey of a 2022 selfing of S. purpurea ssp. venosa var. montana x flava var. ornata – lidless. Here are some seedlings from the batch.

Outdoors is a different story; plants out there are still dormant … Read More

Next season I plan on moving up to a grow table where … Read More

The parentage is S. purpurea subsp. venosa var. montana – Transylvania Co., NC #1 … Read More
