My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
I have fallen in love with the hippeastrum and have started collecting a few varieties. Can some one guide me on hybridising techniques? How does one cross pollinate? Is there a book available for layman on `how to hybridize'?
There is a GardenWeb forum for discussions about hybridizing. It is not specifically about hippeastrums, but it might be a little helpful. Here's a link:
Hi Deepak, Could you be a little more specific as to the information you need? Is it the actual act of pollinating or what particular crosses will work? I think there is a post about the act of pollinating but I'm short on time right now & can't find it. If you tell us the varities you want to work with I'm sure we can help. Lora
Hi Lora I want to learn the act of pollinating - step by step and would also like to learn about which varieties you can cross. Which varieties are strong to produce seeds and which to pick pollen from. Thank you.
Hi Deepak, Sorry it's taking so long to get back but farm life in the spring is very busy. Here is a link to pollinating. I'll try to hunt up Kenneth's post with the great photos of flower parts.
