Hippeastrum update (for
pondhopper)
Jan. 26th, 2017 11:02 pmThe market pack in the front holds six seedlings from the seeds
pondhopper sent me. The market pack in the back holds six seedlings from last year's cross of one of my 2006 seedlings with H. striatum.

Both groups of seedlings have plants that have already put out offsets -- outside my experience with seedlings that are well under a year old, but that just goes to show you. What it goes to show you I don't know.
In other hippeastrum news, the self-pollination I performed on H. striatum a little over a week ago is looking successful. But I recall that my last attempt aborted at 10-12 days so I'm not getting my hopes up yet. If it is successful,
pondhopper gets the lion's share.
