Pinging [livejournal.com profile] clindau -- we're "grandparents"!

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.
