Your pics are so good Glen, n the blooms magnificent. Great that u planted the HEARTS AND LACE crosses. It seems to me that even probability doesn't help much in hybridising for rust resistance. Some with rusty parents can be very resistant (PIRATES PATCH) while others with resistant ancestry can be badly susceptible. ????? However, from looking at NGA, it appears to me that having WEDDING BAND or ROCKET CITY in the ancestry means an unacceptable risk of bad susceptibilty. Any one know of other culprits???
Today I had first flower ever on MOROCCAN SUMMER a swapsie from Glen. It is a lovely colour. Think a petal?/?sepal delaminated itself so it looks like thick pollen.
The NOID red was very dark this morning and did well in the sun today. Also had almost constant gusts between 40 and 45km/hr.
Yellow Gold NOID again had a damaged sepal. Think they were more trumpet shaped last year. It is under a SIlky Oak which is a native to these parts. A very tall tree so I keep lopping them. Hope one day to graft other shrubby or prostrate grevilleas onto it.
