selfed a couple of species

[NYEric]

It's funny, Parkside had them on their 'currently in bloom' page for like a second, then they disappeared. I think I will call them and if they have any left order one!

I have no problems with the selfing. I just see enough flowers to do both.

Okay, maybe a stupid question here, but I agree with Roy - there seems to be at least 4 flowers on the philippinense, and the primulinum is sequential. Couldn't multiple different crosses me made at the same time? Or does that take too much out of the plant to produce so much seed?

sometimes I will make the cross both ways using each plant as a pod parent. If a plant is large and strong, I would consider 2 pods on a spike. I did not want to take any chances with this plant...it is one of my favs.

Yes the selfings took and the pods went to be flasked and then grown out in Hawaii.
