I have extra IP seed if anyone wants some to try.These are
several different crosses and each packet will be marked as to parents.If you want these,send a small padded envelope
addressed to me and inside the envelope put a stick on label with your address and two stamps.You will get the same envelope back with your seed in it.
Reply here so I can keep track of the number of packets I need to reserve.

Insignis pink seed
JT . . I would like to try and grow some out for you!
JT, I would like to try some of these. Had good luck with some crossed seeds earlier this spring. Thanks so much, will have envelope in the mail to you Tuesday.
J.T.,
I would like to try your packet of seeds if you have any left. Unless I hear differently from you, I will put the padded envelope, stamps and address label in the mail to you. Thank you for sharing.
Janette
JT, if you have some left, I would like to try some too please. I'll get a padded envelope out to you. thanks!
Still plenty left.
I'll put my envelope in the mail to you tomorrow. Thanks
I would like to grow some of these for you also. Padded envelope/stamps/label in mail Tuesday 27th.
Thanks
Count me in also. SASE and label on its way.
OK,I have enough for the above 7.Mailed 4 envelopes today.Waiting for the other three.
This will end it.
oh pooh.........guess I shouldn't have taken that nap......lol. If anyone doesn't send their envelope, let me know :)
Hi JT Seeds arrived today, thank you. One packet is CDW X PB. What is CDW?
You lucky duck! Candida double white x Pink Beauty?
Liz is right.I had just a very few of that cross left after
planting mine and sending some to the BGI seed bank.Here is your chance to try for the elusive double pink!
Nice, very nice, g2s. You're a good person.
I guess i better open that envelope from you JT!
There are some other good crosses in that envelope Tig.
I hope we can get people to grow most of these before the season is over.I would have given anything to get my hands on some of these three years ago.Now the BGI seed bank is full of great crosses from all over the country.I am growing some of Tigs,some of Eclipse's,some from the far north and some from the Florida swap that I don't even want to know where they came from!
I now know why Eric culled so heavily.You just can't grow them all.
well, I am trying!! LOL!!!
Me too! Thanks so much, JT.
JT, I received mine. Thanks so much. Hope I have as good luck with these as I did the Eventide x Tequila Sunrise crosses. Will start them exactly the same way today. Hope to get the digital up and running so can post my efforts.

The brug seeds arrived: [Insignis Pink x Isabella] and [Pink Beauty x Dr D] Thank you so much. I will start them as soon as I can. Is it too late to expect blossoms this year?
I feel so SPECIAL. Candida double white is lovely, and crossed with Pink beauty, what are the odds of a double pink? I'll keep everything labled and recorded. Thank you JT.
I have so many seedlings going, most of them 4-5 months old (no blooms yet). I have a small greenhouse that I usually don't try to heat (my electric bill is bad enough already). Does anyone have good information on over-wintering inside? (I know, summer is not really here yet and I'm worrying about winter) I don't have lots of bright windows. I do have a lighting system for starting seeds and seedlings.
Linda, did you get monika's book? you can let them go dormant and they will catch up much quicker in the spring, and it's tons less trouble.
Padre,I expect blooms this year from seed planted now but
my growing season is so much longer.If you have a heated gh expect blooms this year.
Linda,your growing conditions should be just like mine.You should be able to have the brugs outside until sometime in November.I use a small propane heater to keep my greenhouse above the frost level.Your gh should stay about 10 degrees warmer than outside with no heat.My gh is 16 x 32 and is one big air leak.The little propane heater keeps it toasty.
Yes, I have Monica's book. Good information, but I haven't spent enough time reading.
I was under the impression that the book had been translated, not that the book was still in German and the translation was separate. It's kind of hard to match things up.
JT, you have sure been busy. looks like some great crosses.
tig, some of mine i overwintered aren't doing that great. for example whiskers, it's 7 feet tall on the old part but has a new shoot that's about 5 feet or so. the old part isn't growing that fast. butterfly is a beauty though, had a pretty good flush and she is loaded up now. i have two fat and sassy seeds pods on her, won't be long now.
has anyone ever put versicolor orange on butterfly?
everything I let go dormant is loaded with buds, those I kept under lights is doing real well, but not as fast. well, except for Pink Beauty, she's right in front of the living room window and will bloom next week. I'm hoping the pollen I just set on Golden Lady takes, would be nice to have seed pods ready by the end of summer.
It's the reverse for me tiG. The GH brugs are all ready to bloom and the dormant ones are slower. I wonder why the difference?
I just read your post and wondered the same thing. I have no idea! LOL! I'm just glad something is in bud/bloom
LOL, me too, it was a long winter.
Yeah Arlene,like everything else,I over did it with the pollination brush last fall.Pods are still maturing and new ones are being started.I wanted to try all the crosses but there is no way to do that.Just not enough hours in the day.I have about 300 seedlings now.That's all for me until next spring.
JT,
WOW...that's a lot of seedlings but I'm sure you will get some interesting flower.
