dabbed pollen, waited for seed pods to ripen, planted seeds and waited. Now a few are starting to bloom.
First bloom from my hybridizing attempts
You did a great job!

Great dabbing! Beautiful!
Thanks for the kind words. I can't wait to see blooms on all of them. All my parents are variegated and from the seed I got about 95% variegated. Just took the strongest, healthiest of those, about 40 of them. Have another tray of babies started. Karen
That is amazing -- to be able to create something beautiful like that. Karen, if you have too many of them you know who might be interested, don't you? lol
Nice result. If I were you, I think I'd be very proud of myself! I tried hybridizing (violets) once about 15 years ago, not even seriously, but it sure did require some patience.
very nice strep. love the varigated ones, hope they all turn out well. Good Job.

I'll keep it in mind, Carpathiangirl. I have the first one that bloomed basically blue, looks just like the parent. So that one might need a home. I need to save the space for the ones with new colors.
You definitely can count on me! he-he
