Another day, another bunch of my babies flowering. Again, most of these are flowering for the first time. Plant breeding is possibly more addictive than chocolate!

For many years I thought Hydrangea were for old people’s gardens. I guess I became an old person at the age of 40. #gardening #plantbreeding #hydrangea

The first four of this particular Lilium hybrid to flower. Are any worth keeping?

Sarracenia breeding can be very rewarding. The variation in a batch of seed is often surprising. This one is a keeper!

A Lilium hybrid from my own breeding. All the plants from this cross are reddish and have black spots. It’s going to be tough to decide which one/s are worth keeping. Many more flowers to come!
