These are some of the over 100 hybrid seedlings I have crossed since spring. Hard to tell what I'm gonna get but should be interesting.

Wow, great job!
You really have some nice looking seedlings.
What are some of the parent plants that you have crossed?

I also like the wire mesh setup you have for good drainage,
did you make it yourself?

Kyle I hope you get some really great bloms out of those, especially the trilobed leaves

Dave the mesh is a standard greenhouse bench mesh cover.These came from Stuppy supply I think.
I used some old kinds of hibiscus and some new, a lot of Sahara Wind, hot ticket,aztec sun,schizopetalus,Candy Wind,Rum Runner, Hawaiian Sunset, a lot of Erin Rachael crosses, it sets seed well and sprouts quick.

This is Sahara Wind

Those are some great parent plants!
I'm sure you will be happy with the resulting flowers.
Please be sure and post pictures of them when they bloom for you.
