Here we are in December, after some pretty cold weather for us in the Willamette Valley PNW. Even had snow cover for about a week. All the ice and snow is gone now. Just had to check on the tiny seedlings to see how they fared while I was gone to Virginia.
They all looked healthy, and some are really showing some color.
Here are a few of the 'Bloody Mary' seedlings. The bright red one is looking interesting. I checked on the parent plant (Bloody Mary) to see what it's coloring looks like today. Rather dull in color right now. Looks like this seedling might have better coloring that it's parent. Keeping fingers crossed.
Next is the 'Michael's Golden' seedlings. Some interesting individuals among the many seedlings. All three of these are showing much better coloring than the parent plant at this time of year. Right now 'Michael's Golden' is very plain green.
Waiting to see what these babies do in the next year.
The 'Persephone' seedlings are all over the map on form and color. But I did use 3 or 4 different pollen parents for this cross. 'Michael's Golden', 'Othello', 'Honigmond' and one or two others.
