markde2e Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Hello, For about two years ago, i made a cross between a catesbaei hybride and a normal purpurea ssp. purpurea. The seed carrier was the purpurea. I now have 55 small plants and one which has grown far larger then the rest. Foto's 23-5-2010 10-8-2010 I decided to put the seedlings outside, but after a heavy rainstorm, all of the little plants flushes to one side: 4-9-2010 17-3-2011 Repotted: 13-5-2011 4-6-2011 23-7-2011 I kept the biggest plant appart. 6-8-2011 Repotted the other 55 plants: 25-8-2011 5-9-2011 9-9-2011 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strange thing is that the parent plants of my cross, don't have any hairs on the outside! look: Edited June 3, 2012 by markde2e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will9 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) If you cross a purpurea crossing ,catesbai is a cross from flava x purpurea whit a purpurea is this still a crossing?Off course it s still a crossing i think because it have still the flava genes . You go backwards to purpurea ,this plants looks like very nice sarra purpurea to me,hard to see it s a crossing ,or see i wrong ?

markde2e Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) That's correct, but you clearly see a good difference between this cross and a pure purpurea! But it also forms short pitchers indeed.. update 30-6-2012: update 6-7-2012: update 8-7-2012: Edited July 8, 2012 by markde2e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimfoxy Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Isn't it great seeing how they vary? The great difficulty I find is deciding which ones to keep! Nice plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
