Offering a few seeds

17 years ago

I can split these brug seeds between three or four people. I harvested the pod this morning, and the seeds are huge. So there were not as many as I expected. But I can share 6-8 fresh seeds each, with 4 members.

Shawn does have first dibs, if he wants to try these.

Here are the parents.

Seedling of Tootsie x Shooting Star- cute peachy horizonal blossoms less than 6" long.

x Autumn Treasure, a large orange nodding brug. It and the seedling both smell good, lemony. This photo of AT is from August, when it was still bright yellow. By late September, it is orange.

Let me know if you are interested and I will mail out to you- make sure I have your address.

    Okey, all gone, unless Shawn decides he has enough on his plate without these seeds.

    Please send your addresses- Eddie, I still have yours and I managed to get a Miz Scarlett cutting to grow, slowly, for you!!

    I have several more pods to harvest. The next one may be Miz Scarlett (seedling #G2) x Joli. Shows no sign of softening but when they start to, they do it quickly!! I have one pod of Cypress Gardens x Brenda's Beauty and one of Pink Perfektion x Miz Scarlett! These are the pods that hung on after the trials of growing inside my house in the winter in way less than ideal conditions.

    Are you feeling better Brenda? I heard on the news last night a very healthy athletic 36 year old school teacher died of the flu after only 3 days and a lot of schools in some counties have had to close so many of the kids are sick. Its a nasty form of it going around the whole country it seems. So sad.

  • 17 years ago

    Brenda~ Your so nice to share your seeds with everyone, what a doll!Hope you are feeling better. :0)

    F4F~ I know what you mean about schools closing down due to too many kids sick from the flu. I was at Wally World last thursday night getting a few things and ever where I went there was someone coughing on every row.Talk about freaking out!!!!

    Shawn, that is nice of you to pass these seeds on the Kylie!! For sure, you will have firsties on the next pod.

    What is with the Arboreas seeds- I started mine on Tuesday, too, three giant seeds, two held in reserve!! Great minds, eh!! LOL!!! These are from Dawna, and are from JT's plant in Milton, FL. I see great things for these not-yet seedlings. I have some vulcanola pollen ready for those first blossoms.

    Rigo, and Kristy, yep, everyone is coughing around here, too. I still got the cough, feel really tired. My doc gave me an inhaler thingy and that helps my breathing alot. Hope no one gets this- stay away from crowds and wash your hands all the time!!

    We were out of DSL overnight and I'm on my way to work, I'm bringing the seeds & envelopes with me- hope ya'll sent me your addresses but I don't have time right now to check my email. Please send if you have not already- Kylie, I do have your address!! Seeds should be there by Saturday, hopefully!!
    ****Hey, Kylie, are you going to plant ALL those P & C seeds????????? Ha!! Good luck with them!

    I may get a chance to get back to the forum later, but if not, have a wonderful day- we are having Spring weather here!! Yay!!

    Thanks!!!Shawn and Brenda!!
    Girl glad to see you are feeling better.. Looks like the crud is the gift that just keeps giving...LOL

  • 17 years ago

    Hey, ya'll, the seeds are packaged and ready to send ...........but I forgot with the nice weather here, that it is still winter. I just checked all the towns where I'm sending the seeds, and yes, even Eddie is expecting freezing weather by Saturday. Karen, and Elizabeth, double yes!! LOL!

    So, you all tell me what to do. Kylie, your seeds won't get there til early next week if I send, and you will be near freezing then. I will send today- they ARE ready, or I will wait for the next warm spell on all of them. I just wanted ya'll to have them while they are this fresh and the cork is soft! A novelty for me!!

    You can go ahead and send mine they call if I get anything other than regular mail...

  • 17 years ago

    Kylie and Brenda are you doing the baggie method for the arboreas or just planting in seed mix? I did half of mine in seed starting mix and if it doesn't work out I am going to try the baggie method on the rest. Lets keep eachother updated on our germination rate, etc...

    Shawn, I soaked my seeds overnight in agua(water) with a bit of H2O2, mostly peeled off the cork and planted them in sterile damp soil in one pot, sprayed lightly with a fungicide and slipped the pot inside a brand-new one gallon zip-lock baggy. Seems to work pretty well for me. Then I set it on a seedmat at low heat and will start checking every day, after a week, for signs of life!

    I have had seeds rot from fungus before they even sprout, but never had any damping off.

    Good luck to all of us!

    Kylie and Eddie, your seeds are on their way! Karen, Elizabeth, later!!

    Brenda

    Shawn most of what I have I sarted in potting soil and I did thro a few in a baggie..I'll let ya know when I see a sprout... (fingers crossed)

  • 17 years ago

    O I bet they are gonna turn out a beauty or two! Good luck everyone!
    Brenda, glad to hear you are feeling better. It's a ruf one, mine lasted over a month and a half..almost 2. wasn't fun!

  • 17 years ago

  • 17 years ago

    I could sit and watch them grow all day long. And you know what...they grow so fast with this warm weather that you probably could see it lol

    Lucy
