I found this idea on Pinterest so I modified it for what I needed.  These are my newest Brugmansia seedlings.

For the past 20 years we have added different varieties to our gardens.  We have varieties such as:
 A. v. 'Woowside Variegated w/ blue flower
 A. x h. 'Ruby Port,'
 A. h. Mc Kanna Giants of which the last photo is one of them with 2" spurs,
 A. Bonnets in both Pink and Blue,
 A. x h. 'Black Bart''
 A. v 'William Guiness Double' in both light and dark blue,
 A. v. 'Magpie,''
 A. v. 'Nora Barlow,'
 A. v. 'Nora Barlow Mix,'
 A. v. 'Sunlight White,'
 A. c. 'Yellow Star,'
 A. c. 'Biedermeier' mix of dwarf variety
 A. c. 'Fairy Pink' dwarf variety
 A. 'Harlequin' mix (add this one several times)
A, f. var p.k. 'Rosea'

We have some exciting creations and allow some to open pollinate.
We save the seeds per the mother plant and labeled them as so when we collect or put them away.

We do sell these 100 seed package for $2.50 and $1 for postage in the USA.  All international orders
are higher on the shipping, just depends on your location.  If you are interested email us at our business address:  karmahappytoes at hotmail.com so we can work out the payment arrangements.

This year we will be putting up an Aquilegia photo album on PhotoBucket so that these all can be viewed.  When we have this up we will link it here.

Clivia Miniata

The clivia bloom from the Mother plant.  We hope she will bloom again this year, we have taken 

several babies from her last fall and they now have 3 and 4 leaves.   The year before last she didn't 

bloom but we obtained a couple babies that are now in one gallon pots.  We will scream if we get

more seedpods as this last set went to Europe to a grower over there.

Clivia seedpods and harvested seeds with a couple already sprouted.

Sable's new bed.

The last seedpod from the B. S. "Karma X  Iochroma fell off and here is what was found.  Only a little over 2 1/2 months and not fully developed.  I guess I'll have to try this cross again?

Hybridizing

As you can see I have been playing again.  This seedpod dropped off the mother plant, B. Sanguinea 'Karma' when I was moving another plant.  This seedpod was 2 days shy of being on the plant for 2 months.  As you can see the pod has an I on it.  This plant had 3 buds that we crossed at the same time, we lost the first seedpod over a month ago when moving the plant to it's winter home.  Nothing worth noting inside the pod when we opened it, so it was tossed.  Note the I on the outside of the pod, this is due to we decided to try to cross the 3 with Iochroma 'Royal Blue' pollen that we had been saving up from all the blooms.  I will say this out loud, we had no Brugmansia in bloom and the Datmansia out back only had one bloom.  The Iochroma 'Royal Blue had no blooms with pollen when we opened and crossed the 'Karma' when we did, the location was on the north side of the house.   To my knowledge no bees or critters had gotten into the calyx and again nothing on the north side of the house was in bloom.   To our surprise a few weeks later we saw the seedpod when we opened up the calyx, before moving the plants to the brug house is when we cut the calyx as you see above.

Here is the seedpod with the calyx removed.

Here is what was found when we cut open the seedpod.  Unexplained material that you would find when one hybridizes a Brugmansia? The larger brown is what one would consider Brugmansia seeds, but one sees the longer green material and in there are smaller like seedpods.

A side view of the seedpod.

All material removed from the seedpod.

All material was planted and placed in up under grow lights.

I was told I didn't do enough doc. on this crosses??  What can one say?
