Thanks Roland. I've suspended Larry from posting. I suspect
his email
account has been hacked - long time since we had one of
those events.

Hi, gang.

Fair warning -- I am going to talk about hybrids.

My Moraea hybridization results for 2015 are now posted
online. The
highlights for this year include a flower with long black
eyelash streaks on
the tepals, one that looks a bit like a white-skinned
pumpkin, a nice bright
orange with pale blue eyes, and (as I mentioned on the list
a couple of
months ago) what I think may be the first documented Moraea
X Homeria cross.

If you're interested, you can see photos of my favorites
here:

http://growingcoolplants.blogspot.com/2015/05/…
l

If you have trouble with that link, here's a shorter
version:

http://bit.ly/1LzHzbd/

As for species Moraeas, I spent a lot of time this year
trying to puzzle out
the difference between Moraea bellendenii and Moraea
tricuspidata. According
to Goldblatt's book, the main difference is that
tricuspidata is white and
flat and while bellendenii is yellow and cupped. But what if
you have a pale
yellow-white one that's sort of cupped? Is it a hybrid or a
color variant of
one of the species? Supposedly you can tell the difference
by measuring the
filaments (the little stems that lead to the anthers). But
the darned things
are only a few millimeters long. Just try shoving a ruler
into a tiny little
flower. I ended up plucking off some of the stamens so I
could measure them,
but the stems that i got were shorter than they should be
for either
species.

If anyone can enlighten me, please let me know.

It's become hard to find seeds of Moraea species I don't
already have, but I
did get my first ever flower from Moraea unguiculata, just
last week. The
flower is ridiculously small -- it would fit on the tip of
my finger. After
I saw it I realized that the photos I've seen in books are
all heavily
magnified. Anyway, it was cute, and also notable because it
was the first
time I've gotten a flower from seeds supplied by
rareplants.de. Often their
seeds have failed to sprout for me.

I'll have some seeds of various species for the BX later
this summer, but
nothing like the bumper crop that Bob Werra just discussed.
Bob, I think
you're right, raised beds are the way to go in our part of
California!

Wow Mike those are exciting.?
And here's a question for the group: who else uses those cut
down vinyl blinds for plant labels? I've been using them for
years.?

Michael,

Stupendous!  I love them all but really do like the
white one you think is
elegant, I think so too.

Jim,

Great idea about the blinds, I've never used them but shall
start!

The only thing I can add is use a good waterproof marker.
Some of them
are not so waterproof as claimed as I found out the hard way
2 years
after returning from holiday.
The person that sold me some succulent pelargoniums wrote
the name with
a white ink marker on the black plastic pots. He told me
that would last
for a least 4 years. I'm trying that now also.

I have some labels cut from old blinds that are still
flexible after about
15 years use.    However, I always use a No2 (HB)
pencil to label my
plants.  I haven't found any pen that lasts as long as
pencil in direct sun.

I started out using soda, etc cans, cut into strips various
widths. Start by cutting the bottom off first,
then the top. Trim both rough ends with sisscors. Use
something that has a slight give to it
to place the label on.  I usually use a # 2 pencil to
write with, using a little pressure. Fold the 'period'
end into an arrow for added stiffness to insert into the
pot, etc. I sometimes use alum wire stuck
through the 'period' end to loosely wrap around a small
branch, etc.

I have used the blinds / a # 2 pencil the last 2 years, but
am planning on reverting back to my orginal
alum. ones.
