Today, while poking around my seeded pots I saw a very surprising thing! A seedling from a cross which was a shot in the dark.
Last summer I had made a few interesting crosses and
I got two really fat seed pods from lionheart x Eros and also Chengdu x Patricia's pride(OAxA). Both pods had turned up with a bunch of really chaffy seeds. I saved them anyway and through reading about you guys sowing OT seeds and reading an Art Evans article in which he states "always plant chaff" I decided to give them a go anyway. I loaded two 4 inch pots with 25-40 seeds from each pod. What I found very surprisingly was a seedling from Chengdu x P's pride! I am very suprised and excited. We'll see if any more pop up but for now I'm ecstatic.
Side note: Through some research I found out that Eros is probably at triploid so it's pollen would likely be sterile. For that reason I'm not optimistic about the other pod.
Edit: Anthony, I also have some Aussie hairpins on the radar!
