I am thrilled to report the emergence of the first four seedlings from the pollination of Schlumbergera truncata 'salmon NOID,' a holiday cactus of mine, with Schlumbergera truncata 'Madisto,' grown from cuttings given to me by [livejournal.com profile] clindau when she was here for the Flower Show.

The pollination happened on or about December 16, 2011, and I sowed the seed about a week ago.

Woot!

In other news, there is a pair of mute swans on Edgewood Lake at FDR Park a/k/a The Lakes -- I saw them when I went on my morning bike ride. Perhaps they've been here the whole time and simply haven't been out when I've been around. There were swans for a couple seasons, then I saw none last spring.

Woot!

Virtual wee drams and cigars all round! If the seedlings thrive, I'd like to have one, please.

If the survival rate of crop is like the last batch, I'll be sending you at least a dozen.
