Standing Tall on Memorial Day Weekend

Post by HostaDesigner »

Just a few standing proud this weekend. :beer: Cheers!

An f2 seedling of H. montana 'Hatsushimo'. Starting to work this into my breeding program in the future.

My prized breeder for this year! :D

Another tall streaker I'm watching. The leaf shape is very unique...and I like it!

Another seedling grown from one of Olga Petryszyn's parentage. Wonderful, wonderful genes.

Another 'Hatsushimo' seedling.

Trying to get some interesting red petiole breeding stock, so I grew some open pollinated 'Fall Bouquet' seedlings.

Those are some great looking seedlings. Lots there to work with for another generation.
I agree, your prized breeder is outstanding.
