This is the first day-want to watch the color Cross EPx UK
Seedling blooming
Very pretty Barbara! Please post more pics tomorrow. I know I'm kinda dumb sometimes.....but what is UK?
Beautiful Barb!
That is gorgeous! I too am wondering what UK is?
Very nice Barbara !!
UK=unknown- Ecuador Pink x father unknown.
Very pretty!
Sibling from the same cross
Pretty...both of them.
Thanks, Barbara! I had never seen it that way (UK) before...Gretchen
Pretty pink one! Thought UK meant from the United Kingdom.
Don't think it is possible to cross Ecuador Pink with the United Kingdom. LOL
LOL,Good one,that EP shape sure came out in the white one,the pink is pretty!
Very Pretty!
very pretty Barb
I sure wish someone would come up with a nice yellow versicolor. Has anyone worked on this yet?
Brugie, I have been doing several yellow crosses. Creamsickle x Golden Lady, Tiara x Tropical Sunset, Cuba x Golden Lady. We will see----
I sure hope you get a good veris yellow, but all of those crosses sound like they have good potential. Can't wait for another year to see what you get.
Very pretty Barb ... nice color.
Very pretty, Barb. I like the color.
Yes, lovely new pink!
It is very pretty Barbara. Congratulations!
Brugie, I am pushing them with fertilizer in hopes they will bloom this year. We have several more months of growing season and I think there is a chance.
Barb, that makes me very envious. Several months more of growing season would be wonderful here, but I won't get it. Sure could use an extra month with the seedling bed.
Not meaning to hijack this thread, but Brugie....how many of your seedlings have you seen bloom this year?
So far Brinda, maybe five or six have bloomed. It is looking like I may not see most of them bloom at all. We need some heat again. This month may set a record for cool temps.
I also dont mean to hijack, but how do you cross to make a versicolor? I guess, what + what = versicolor?
Shelly, I don't even know what versi's are pure other than EP. Maybe Monika could tell us if it is even possible to get a yellow versi type bloom.
Beautiful shots, Bward.
Shelley, versicolor is a pure species, not a hybrid. versicolor x versicolor makes a versicolor-hybrid. A versicolor-hybrid always has to have two pure versicolor species for parents. The same goes for aurea and suaveolens.
Thank you Monika!
