Red Petioles

Post by wzbt03 »

I have attached a few with red petioles for your evaluation.

The Marashchino Cherry (yes I know the spelling is wrong on the picture) is no surprise but the Hazel with the few dots of red extending into the leaf was.
The Tiffanys Godzilla is a rather unimpressive seedling so far.

WZ IMO you are off to a great start 8-)
I did the same as you, getting as many seedlings going from as many sources as I could find.
If you see something you find desireable on one of your seedlings, mark it on the pot, give it a name/number.
When choosing what traits you want to see in the next generation, pick traits YOU like, not want you think others may like. Keep your passion and I know we'll see some great things from you in the future :wink:

Good Advice

Post by wzbt03 »

Thanks for the great advice.
I tried as many different types and sources of seeds as I could manage under lights this year just hoping for some that I liked.
The ones from my gardens actually did quite well too.

It has been interesting seeing all the flower shots on the forum and definately makes me want to try from some nice colors of flowers in my crosses this coming season.

It is really nice seeing so many great hosta people from the masters to the novices willing to share knowledge, seeds and advice.
