I want to learn so badly............I have this strep that looks like a perfect rose......this picture ws taken tonight and the blooms are older but I am in love with the double rose like look.
doubles on streps are good for being momma plants but rarely offer pollen for selfing
if you want sometime we can talk gail and I can tell you how to do this over the phone its
really really easy,cant promice anything on other plants but streps I know how to cross

Gee ... I wish someone could teach me some patience like y'all have! But, alas, I am hopeless! ^_^ Beautiful Strep Miss Gail!
OK, Jim, you will have to walk me through the process. Thanks for the tip on a double being good for a mama but rarely offer pollen for selfing. Tomorrow I get to stick your leaves all day I am hoping!!!!!!!!!! The post office is only open less than 2 hours in the morning..........hope I get up in time.......
Isn't she a sweetie pie of a strep , Lin..............those blooms are old..........you should see them fresh............
What a pretty Strep, Gail!
Beautiful Gail !! It sounds like Jim has it covered,but I can also help with hybridizing if needed. It's been a long time,but the basics don't really change.As Lin said,patience is a certainly a virtue here.
