When Juli and first discussed doing a hybridizer series months ago we weren’t sure how it would be received…would the members like it, participate with images and comments about the hybridizers…your encouragement and participation was more than we hoped for, Thank you! Those who read the Porch Swing may have noted that Juli is preparing for eye surgery and with recovery time could be away for two months or more. For myself, July through October is the busiest time of the year due to bloom season, hybridizing and then preparing a very large garden for winter along with personal commitments. We are ending the ATP Hybridizer Series for now and will plan to continue adding more hybridizers to the series later this fall.
