Author Message   Karma  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2007 - 11:22 am EST :    A. Blark Barlow X Unknown Red No Clue Have no clue as I don't have white?? Ruby Port hybrid My all time favorite. Karma - PNW, Zone "Z-Denial "   Otnorot  Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2007 - 09:18 pm EST :    Beautiful columbines,are some of these your crosses? Bill Otnorot - Ont, Zone "6A"   Karma  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2007 - 10:55 pm EST :    Yes Otnorot, they are ours, the two we have no clue of were open pollinated. It's just interesting to see what the bees can do too. We have some blue ones that we are going to be digging up this fall and will offer them in the states. Karma - PNW, Zone "Z-Denial "   Terryk  Supporting Member My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Tuesday, May 01, 2007 - 11:36 pm EST :    Love the second one! What do you mean by "we are going to be digging up this fall and will offer them in the states."? Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Karma  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2007 - 11:27 am EST :    Terryk, if you would like any of my lovely columbines I'll do them for postage. I suppose I could cut back and did now if you would like. Mainly I have lots of blues and a few of the deeper red purples that I was planning on composting. This year I'm not going to be doing any crosses but if folks would like open pollinated seeds, just let me know. I'm crossing Hostas,Callalilies, Brugmansia and Daturas this year mainly. It could be an interesting year with the adding of 5 mason bee homes to the yard. Karma - PNW, Zone "Z-Denial "   Terryk  Supporting Member My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2007 - 01:20 pm EST :    Oh, Karma, I would love that blue one with the markings. It looks like it is a cream or light green marking. I will pm you later tonight when I get home, I am sneaking at work! Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Astrid  Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2007 - 01:26 pm EST :    Hi Karma, I also love some seeds from the blue one with the markings, the first one and the last one. I have also a lot of Aquilegia-seeds if you would like to swap. Thanks, Astrid (astrid@rent-al.nl) Astrid - Utrecht, Zone "?"   Mike_in_chicago  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2007 - 01:58 pm EST :    She's quite a bit ahead of me bloom-wise, but once I get some unfurled, I'll take some pix as well. I have a few open-pollinated blues similar to hers whose seeds I'd be happy to share. I'm saying this now because I won't remember to make the offer in a few weeks, but the offer's open to any who want it. The first cross is especially nice in its depth of color! Mike_in_chicago - Chicago, IL, Zone "5b"   Karma  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2007 - 05:53 pm EST :    Terryk, the one you requested I have one baby of and I think I can get it without any problem. I will have a few of these blues in this shade and a bit darker to offer. I will have just a this one. Plus this one with a little more white. Here is one of our seed beds with the darker colored seedlings. Karma - PNW, Zone "Z-Denial "   Terryk  Supporting Member My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2007 - 10:43 pm EST :    Karma, if you can put my name on that little baby one of the one I requested and if you have a few extras on the lighter blue. I will send you e-mail now. Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Karma  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2007 - 11:08 pm EST :    Terryk I'll tag in the morning when I check my email, it's been a long wild day with storm after storms! Karma - PNW, Zone "Z-Denial "   Shirley1md  Posted on Saturday, May 05, 2007 - 08:06 pm EST :    I love them ALL! Shirley Maryland Zone 7a   Karma  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Sunday, May 06, 2007 - 11:36 pm EST :    Just a few more. Karma - PNW, Zone "Z-Denial "   Terryk  Supporting Member My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Monday, May 07, 2007 - 06:32 am EST :    What are you doing to me? I love the one in photo 2, 3 & 5. Can I send more postage? Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Mike_in_chicago  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Monday, May 07, 2007 - 07:01 am EST :    Those last 2 (or are they the same?) are great. I'm a sucker for that kind of coloring. Mike_in_chicago - Chicago, IL, Zone "5b"   Karma  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Monday, May 07, 2007 - 11:31 am EST :    Yes Mike, I wanted to show how it changes. That one is always the first to go out of the yard. We are only down to that one. I guess I better sow more seeds as I have a little left from 2 years ago. Terryk, I could always send seeds! Will mark a couple more! Karma - PNW, Zone "Z-Denial "   Shirley1md  Posted on Monday, May 07, 2007 - 12:20 pm EST :    I agree, I like #4 and #5 best too! Shirley Maryland Zone 7a   Terryk  Supporting Member My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Monday, May 07, 2007 - 05:12 pm EST :    Thanks so much! How do you keep them from crossing and do you know if your seed will be true or will it be a surprise? I hear they are as bad as hellebores in crossing! Terryk - NY, Zone "6"   Karma  Supporting Member My Garden Posted on Monday, May 07, 2007 - 11:03 pm EST :    Terryk, when one focuses on hybridizing you have to get out there before they really open to insure nothing got there first. Then you tape or tie the flower so nothing gets in. This is my year not to play with these as I have to focus on a couple other items. Yes hellebores are really hard also. I have gone to the point to cover the ones I have pollinated so the bees done get those, have you tried cheese cloth? Karma - PNW, Zone "Z-Denial "   Terryk  Supporting Member My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Tuesday, May 08, 2007 - 07:00 am EST :    I can't go down the road of hybridizing, seed sowing is out of hand as it is!
