March 30, 2003 - Welcome
I'm being absolutely amazed by what's blooming for the first time this year in terms of sophenensis x danfordiae hybrids. I thought after last year I had a pretty clear idea of what to expect. In fact, I expected to be a bit disappointed because the F2 expression wasn't opening up more. I believed I faced a big challenge in trying to make different crosses from the types made to date in order to open up the expression.
Now the trick is to understand why certain things are coming to light that didn't show up in the first 57 hybrids.
Unfortunately the weather isn't cooporating. It rained off and on Friday, and then all of Saturday morning. Today temperatures stayed around freezing, which made hybridizing difficult when the wind picked up in the afternoon. I kept having to go indoors to warm my hands; otherwise I was bundled up and nicely warm. The cold weather is to continue Monday, followed by possible flurries on Tuesday!
