Title: Galanthus 'Godfrey Owen'
Post by: Woods on February 10, 2017, 01:38:25 PM

Has anyone had Godfrey Owen set seed? I have never succeeded, even when its' stigma seemed normal (often badly deformed). GO pollen seems okay, with a number of crosses setting seed, but none so far showing six out 'petals' when they have flowered.

Why not cross the 2 best seedlings?  The results could be what you're looking for.
