FFOE Seedlings today

9 years ago

Only a few, and only one which looks OK:

These two were misshapen, and one other is just plain ugly, and I refuse to post it!

This repeat seedling bloom was a nice color, but is rather misshapen as well:

Hopefully, there are still some good FFOEs left in those scapes which haven't bloomed yet.

What are your plans for the seedlings? Are you going to give them a season or two?

Sherry - yes, definitely. I'm just starting. Will want to see what they do in their next year, plus I'll make some crosses with some of these (possibly as pollen parents this year, but also as seed parents next year) to try to bring out certain possible characteristics. I'm new at the breeding in general, though I've been learning it as I go along with the zinnias; this is my 4th year with them, and I'm just now getting a feel for what it means to have specific goals, if you get me. At first, I was just making crosses willy-nilly for the fun of it. Now I really look at the plants in all their aspects, and imagine what I think would be the way to go.
