Sommer Gardens / Friday, February 27, 2009 / Categories: Hybridizing, Brugmansia

I have sproutage!!!

After planting seeds from about 40 immature brugmansia seed pods I'm excited to report that about 1/3 already have seeds sprouting!  I'm sure more crosses will sprout in the next week or two.  This is way cool because I had some important crosses I was afraid I might have lost in the freeze. 

There are at least 30 more seeds pods that were damaged in the freeze that I plan to plant next weekend. My guess is that I have about the same number that did not get damaged that are still growing on their mother plants.

Next month the cycle starts all over when I expect to have a bunch of blooms open and ready to be pollinated.
