Sinningia hybrid Z3

Dennis,

I second that!!!! I have two pots of sinningia selovii hybrids that I grew from seed and I put them on my front steps in the summer (Cambridge, MA) for the hummers. The humming birds DO go after them but I've only seen them a couple of times and boy was it worth it ☺

I play around with hybridizing a lot of Sinningia species. This one

bloomed in just 6 months from seed! It is sellovii × nordestina. The

pollen appears to be fluffy so I think it might be fertile. I'm not

the first to pioneer this cross. The reverse was done 10 years ago

using nordestina as the pod parent.

In summer-time I think this would be a hummingbird magnet.
