Karma I hope the second generation will be all that you hope it will be.
You made it so far already.
Which reminds me that I have not been to your site in a while.

givelittle_getlots, thank you for your support!

Karma.. Glad to hear you have gotten so many pods...also glad you are still working on your Dat X.. Wishing you success!!!
Kylie

Karma:I"m glad that all seems seem to be going well for your Datmansia. I am sorry that my success with the seeds was not positive but wish you all the continued success in the future. Gardening truly can be an exciting journey and the folks like you who push the boundaries make it interesting for the rest of us. Keep up the good work and thankyou for the opportunity to test seed in the Canadian climate for you. Bye for now. Ross.

Hey Karma, just trimmed the one in the ground back to the pods, too! The 2 in pots didn't really do much, I think they needed more leg room. Do these seem to have perennial rootstocks like wrightii & inoxia? Copy on the 2nd gen! Wish I could've got some of the other projects to germ...

Thank you three, all I can do is try and do the magic on this end. Ya know it's hard being a simple housewife and finding the replacements in time! John, I'm going to be working on the first cross next year if I can get Shorty's to do her thing. I'm still getting albinos popping up!
We have our pots handy just in case it gets cold since they are out south of the house. Yes these have the perennial rootstock as they came from tetraploids!

I am very happy for you Karma. I am sorry I didn't have luck with the seeds you sent me.

fool4flowers, thank you I'm totally okay and glad folks were willing to test these. This is how we all learn and it helps me know which direction to head. Thank you all for all your hard work!!

Karma, What is a datmansia? is it a brug cross with a dat? what does it look like?

Hong 2007,

It is most likely a self pollinated Datura innoxia.

iiitara, can you just let it go? The attacks aren't fixing anything and why keep bringing arguments up when they got nowhere brfore? I hate when people post for the sake of starting arguments, please only post if you are trying to accomplish something positive. I may say something negative when a certain person comes on here and calls people stupid for offering suggestions on where to get a double, even though I know it is not nice, but it is not necessary to try to get arguments restarted.

What's argument????!!!

Thank you pagrdnr, all I'll say is simple minded attack folks and naysayers are a dime a dozen.

hong2007, we have been able to cross a Brugmansia X Datura for several years now. We use the D. Missouri Marble as the mother plant. The first two years we have used B. Shorty's variegated and and have a albino seedling photos of what was created. The last year we used the TNN's reverse variegated, all pods were cut open when the pods swelled, all anthers were removed so they couldn't self pollinate, pollinated and closed back up. There is no arguments and no way they could of been self pollinated as I followed to the letter what my experts have told me to do. I just love the naysayers as all they do is say they were self pollinated. How can they self pollinated if the anthers are removed and before they were removed before the pollen was dried??

I challenge you, iiiitara to see if you can come up with the same cross?

Thanks Karma for the info, I am still so "green" at all these pollinating topic, they are way over my head :) Whatever you are doing just keep doing it. I just want to have pretty flowers ;)

Hong, if you go to KHT's "my page" you should see her website and you can see pics of the datmansia's there. KHT, I don't have any seed pods on mine..my plants are gone.... We're in the 2nd year of a pretty bad drought and I had to stop watering because the water bill was killing me! All of mine died off a month ago or more... But they were beautiful while I had them and the peanut butter scent was wild!
