Nice title hum LOL. Well a hybridizer friend once told me a plant that has sex is a happy plant. I am not sure if this is true or not but the babies from breeding can be very exciting to watch. New color patterns and some giants or minitures you never are really sure what you will get in this game.
So each year I put on my huge Bee suit on and run around pollinating plants in the hopes of something completely new. A lot of times I have people telling me what to make short big flowering plant. These are nice but I am usually trying to make huge bright foliage plants and if I make a few dwarf big flowering things along the way fine. Not many flowers get past me so you will find a pretty big mixture of things on here. I will be putting my new canna hybrid photos up on the canna forum as well.
The first hybrid attempt today was Ensete Ventricosum X Ensete glaucum These banana cousins are huge growers Ventricosum with huge trunks and a deep red midvein and Glaucum taller with a bluish green look . Picture of ventricosum flower.
