Here is a list of crosses I did this year. Seed I don't keep for myself will be made available to members of this forum come fall.
Mardi Gras - selfed (something chewed into the ovary a little, so time will tell if I end up with any seed from this)
rubra gulfensis x moorei - selfed
moorei "green and white" - selfed
flava rubricorpora - selfed
psittacina x swaniana - selfed
gilpini "anthocyanin-free" - selfed
Now, onto actual crosses (mom first):
(oreophila x willisii) x Mardi Gras
(oreophila x willisii) x (flava x psittacina)
moorei "green and white" x (rubra x oreophila)
(flava x psittacina) x (rubra x oreophila)
(leucophylla x moorei) x (rubra gulf. x moorei)
Citronelli x (flava x psittacina)
(catesbaei x minor) x Citronelli
mitchelliana x Citronelli
(oreophila x psittacina) x moorei "green and white"
areolata x flava rubricorpora
Hummer's Hammerhead x (psittacina x swaniana)
Extreme Unction x (leucophylla x gilpini)
Extreme Unction x Ladies In Waiting
Judith Hindle x (leucophylla x gilpini)
(leucophylla x gilpini) x alata "nigrapurpurea"
readii "anthocyanin-free" x gilpini "anthocyanin-free"
(leucophylla x oreophila) x minor
In addition, there are probably at least an equal number of flowers I left mother nature to decide; whether I get any seeds from them or not remains to be seen. There are also a few "late bloomers" that I may or may not do something with. I have to admit I've gotten a bit worn out from pollinating every day (I did each cross a minimum of four times - most longer). My back may not take any more. Anyway, there should be enough seed this fall to go around to everyone that wants some, and then some.
