The N. 'Cedric Morris' are sterile flowers, of course, so even when the ovary swells enthusiastically, making one think that lots of seed is being made, the flowers continue to look good and, in the end, there is never any fertile seed.
I have 1 and 2 year old seedlings of Rijnveldt Early Sensation X Cedric Morris, but have never had seeds of Cedric Morris.Poul
Me too. One flowered recently, and more in bud.
Mark, John, mine died out too. . . .not tolerating either a dry soil or the presence of any weeds near it.
According to daffseek.org 'Cedric Morris' is a "pollen fertile", reporting Malcolm S. Bradbury of England registering 'Izzy' in 2013 reportedly from the reverse of my cross: 'Cedric Morris' pollen on 'Rynveld's Early Sensation'. Surely others have tried and had success with 'Cedric Morris'? Clearly it is not completely infertile as seed or pollen parent, suggesting many good possibilities.
So as Cedric Morris is a tetraploid it should be used as the pollen parent on triploids and diploids or only triploids and obviously other fertile tetraploids? Then can one assume any seed from Cedric himself could only have been fathered by another fertile tetraploid? If that be the case can you guess what the possible father was in your garden - i.e. from the CM o.p. seed?
