Seedling from years ago...

Clothed in Glory X Linda Beck

Color is splotchy like Clothed in Glory is, which isn't great. I like the shape and edge though. Stuck my above seedling onto it, Yoga Man X Every Knee Shall Bow. Seeing if the pollen that was saved is good.

Just to let you know I'm still around.
A small pot of Anacampseros telephiastrum f. variegatum 'Sunrise'  I aquired for a very small sum on a recent visit to St. Boswell's.

Should get some red-cranberry colors, hopefully with a fancy edge. Going to be grown through the Winter, maybe next Summer will see some flowers.

Some new seedlings are going to have their first flowers open in another week or two. Hopefully see something blue, or special that I can use.

Not going to do many crosses this Summer, still have lots of seeds from last Summer still to start. Some are going to be grown in tubs, just dont have room to grow all of them in solo cups and pot up.

It´s surprising that Embothrium coccineum flourishes so far up in the North! It became a tree many tried to grow in the eighties and nineties, having seen it in flower in Great Britain. At that time, most failed to be successful, even in my part of the world, which belongs to the mildest regions of Germany.

Mariette, that was interesting about the Embothrium in Germany, I did not know. We have a mild coastal climate, not cold in winter and cool in summer - to the great frustration of many people. Adding to that frustration is the year-round rain. It’s a shitty climate, really, but many plants like it. The botanical garden sits protected on the southwest facing slope of a hill and I can imagine is naturally well drained, and it is certainly well run. Their South America section was established around year 2000 and they have a number of trees and shrubs, from Chile in particular. My favourite there is a very large Buddleja globosa. I was told the Embothrium flowers well every year.

One tree that does not flower every year in our garden is the Japanese Summer Camellia, Stewartia pseudo-camellia. This year, though, it is full of buds and just now in the middle of its three or so weeks of flowering. Each flower lasts a few days on the tree, then a few more on the ground as it is dropped whole. While on the tree the flowers are very popular with bumble bees but I have never seen one on a fallen flower. Each year, of course, the tree has good autumn colour.

Great looking parents should be an exciting cross to wait for.

Seedlings are growing very well.

Changed up my mix again
10 parts compost
2 parts  vermiculite
2 parts perlite

Next round going to try it with 3 parts perlite.

Have 5 seedlings of this cross, bonus seeds.

Galanthus / Re: New GALANTHUS summer 2025

The last of our 2025 introductions is an addition to our musical green group:
DRYAD CAPRICE
Dryad Caprice was selected for the delicate markings on the outer segments. These begin with a bright white spot at the apex, surrounded by a solid apple-green zone over the apical quarter, which streaks as distinct green lines towards the base, dissolving into white just before the long, narrow claw. In contrast, the inner segments are a deep green, becoming slightly paler towards the base. It is a neat grower, flowering at 15cm, just above the erect leaves.
DESCRIPTION
Parents are Rosemary Burnham x Simply Glowing. Sown in 2016. Flowering height 15cm. The outer segments are 25 x 16 mm, and concave, with the lateral edges flipped out. The inner segments are 14 x 7 mm. The cylindrical ovary is 9 x 6 mm, the pedicel is 80% of length of the arching spathe. The claw is 6mm long.
The erect leaves are 120 x 20 mm and are supervolute, with hooded tips. It is also scented!
