Supreme Garden Crosses

17 years ago

Hi Everyone, After reading a comment of Maria's I thought I'd start a thread on what everyone is crossing with Supreme Garden and the progress of the crossings.

I have been wondering why no one is posting here. "Not counting the chicks until the eggs are hatched?" I don't blame them. As I've posted earlier in another link, I have been having pods aborting with my crosses with SG. Maybe I'm not putting in the right pollen. Maybe it's my poor lighting. Maybe my bulblets are too young. Maybe it's the cold weather. Maybe SG just likes giving out babies instead of seeds. Maybe...

As of tonight these are the decent sized seedpods:

SGXJade Serpent 1 pod; 1" diameter; starting to turn yellow and dry up; will know in a few days if seeds are viable.
SGXGilmar 1 pod; 1 1/4" diameter
SGXCupido 1 pod; 1/2"diameter
SGXJade Serpent 1 pod; 1/2"diameter

From 3 scapes, I only got 4 seedpods. Crosses from other scapes are still too early to tell. I hope you are luckier than I am.

Very good reliable tea in the 2 zones I've had it--coastal zn9 & here in desert zn8. No-spray garden in both zones. When mature & happy it throws large blooms regularly. The one I have now has been in the ground ~yr. from a chopped-root grocery store plant. Not only survived the harsh winter that killed a young band raised Rosette Delizy planted nearby, it had a nice spring flush. Don't know if it's a good rose for your garden, Ingrid, but I'd say give her some time if you've already got her. It's well known as a good rose in this area--got recognized as "the San Antonio Rose" because of numerous large & very floriferous specimens planted in that city.

I ordered the first 10 varieties I didn't have, and by discovering that my Aprhodite from MZ is actually Nymph, Lovely Garden got squeezed out by Aphrodite. I ordered Desire - jumbo Large flowering Amaryllis Showmaster Large flowering Amaryllis Piquant Large flowering Amaryllis Matterhorn Large flowering Amaryllis Ambiance Double flowering Amaryllis Aphrodite Double flowering Amaryllis Promise Double flowering Amaryllis Double Dragon Double flowering Amaryllis Flaming Peacock Miniature Amaryllis Rapido They should ship by the end of february. I just couldn't resist. There was this site that could still offer me 10 varieties in one package that I didn't have. I hope the shipment will turn out fine. Actually, I have almost no work with these bulbs. I just plant them one by one and water them every Sunday. Easy as that. The ones that have flowered already are in a cooler, light room waiting for warmer weater to be planted out. That will probably take a day or two, then nothing again till september, when I unearth them and prepare them for forcing. Sometimes I cross-pollinate them, then collect the seeds. But they do their job and don't make troubles for me, so I just watch them grow and mix varieties, and also mix the seeds. I don't care what they are as long as they germinate for me... I plan to grow them, make them flower, then force them for following year, and give them away for sick people through charity. Will see how my plans work out. Hopefully I will have enough to give away.
