One of my first hybrids

I'm excited about this. I just got them today. I used one of the 4N Ang magdalenae of old and doubt there is any Eurychone tetraploids. Should be interesting the shift that happens in that.

 

I think they were converted. It was from Alan Koch's magdalenae. I would hazard a guess they were a joint thing with Hillerman. Hoosiers had some they found to be sterile so I suspect they were chemically mutated.

Marni, unfortunately we suck at growing magdalenae. I feel like almost all of them (save one that's not in the hottest shape) are dead. Giving you pollen does little good past having exceptional (but sterile) progeny. I'm afraid to self it because of the mortality that imposes.

Anna, that's a whole bunch of seedlings out of a community flat. Not one ultra prolific plant.

 

It's a sad thing I don't chalk that up to hyperbole. I've had some seedlings for YEARS that in all honesty are still seedlings.

 

Here is the first one. I hope they get better as the mature.

 

I hope there's more than one flower. What's the max that magdalenae has?

 

This cross was with roth as the female. I think the max roth has is six? If there is four that would be adequate.

 

Speaking of galeandrae, did you do anything with yours?
