The lidded salad container maintains a humid environment.
To save space, I propagate new plants from young leaves or small cuttings in little cups. Once fully open, the flowers last a few days, so it is worth keeping It also has some yellow and pigmented venation in the lower lobes, which develop more slowly and open later than the simpler upper lobes. The buds look unpromising and are slow to develop, but the fully open flowers are impressive.Īnother oddity - this one came from seed out of ‘Full Moon.’ Like its seed parent, it is a halo - white centre and coloured edge. Two pictures of one of several new seedlings from a dark purple cultivar, ‘Dracula’s Shadow.’ The pollen likely came from ‘DS Gotika,’ contributing the heavy black edges. The lids fit tightly enough to keep the paper moist for several days, and the containers can be washed and reused many times.
Buy these cups at a dollar store, or save them from a meal delivery. Seeds are started on moistened coffee filter inside a lidded plastic dip/condiment cup. Together, they have produced a new generation of seeds, and these are now germinating. At least two of these are female fertile, and the others have pollen. Now I can show some of the plants that have come from those seeds. Read more about my (accidental) breeding with Neznyi Angel in earlier posts.Įarly this year, I wrote about finding seeds in two little pods on ‘Kika,’ a Sylvian cultivar that doesn’t normally produce seeds. One is photographed twice in different light - its true colours are somewhere in between. Here are some seedlings in the ‘DS Neznyi Angel’ line. I’m going to post a few of the best photos and some that I think may be most useful. Blooming heavily, well into autumn, this one may get a name if it continues to do well.
