I thought I would start a fun thread. I did a lot of cross pollinating last year for fun! I really mixed it up because you just never know what the possibilities are! :-)

I am WAY behind on my MG seed starts this year, but I decided to add a seed to an existing pot with my Trumpet Creeper vine in it. (I have to keep that BAD BOY contained!) I got some outstanding results from one of my crosses.

This is from my Lady Laura (Pink Form) that I crossed with Yaguruma Blizzard. Yeah, I know. Weird cross. The very first bloom which I didn't get a photo of looked like something you would call Lady Laura Blizzard. But today's blooms are totally crazy looking!

Here's the mom vine: http://davesgarden.com/community/blogs/i/36516/
Here's the dad vine: http://davesgarden.com/community/blogs/i/36559/
Another photo of dad that shows that light blue coloration (or possibly a white in the shadows which makes it look light blue) in the bloom :

And here is the second and third blooms on this new vine! Ain't she pretty?!!!

Be warned to all who got seeds from me ... you might just get some interesting blooms!!!!!
