Sorry for the long delay in getting this year's pictures posted. There's a fair bit of work required to add appropriate Siblings and Individuals entries, once all of the pictures have been selected.
I was particularly please with several of this year's new hybrids. The only disappointment was the low percentage of crosses that set seed -- just 20%, giving just 1048 seeds. I have no explaination for this. The weather was no worse than usual. As you can see we did get a light snow fall during bloom, but that's not uncommon.
I am expecting to retire early next year, so I should be able to devote more time to the Reticulatas. Both during bloom as well as in terms of replanting. I didn't get a chance to take any flowers measurements this year.
This year's pictures have a much better depth of field. I used an Olympus E-500 with 50 mm Macro in aperature mode, often with a flash.
