2 more seedlings that opened up here in November!

Pink/peach is TET. MTB 22-58-2

The other seedling is from MTB breeding also. It’s flower size is out of class and the form is horrible! To bad because the color is neat. I’m sure this seedling won’t see any bloom past next spring. Has it will be compost after spring bloom.

That’s the life of a hybridizer!

We are trying something different this year. At our fall AIS regional meeting, we where gifted a rhizome of makeup artist (26) by Thomas Johnson. Last year Paul Black sent us a rhizome.

With the meeting being in mid September, I knew it was to late to plant out. We tried it last year with the gifted rhizome from Paul. Spoiler it didn’t make it through the winter.

So the year we thought hey let’s pot it up and put it the greenhouse! So we did and it’s looking pretty good! The thought was if I can get it to grow a little longer then outside it may make it though the winter. Then in May we can plant it outside.

The greenhouse is not heated, so I’m hoping it will go dormant once the weather gets colder and the greenhouse temps dive down.

Only time will tell I guess.

Found MTB seedling 22-6-4 blooming today!

This seedling more then likely won’t make it to introduction. Flower size is a bit out of class.

We will use this plant as a breeder for a few more years. To see if helps us to our goals.

Well they took out our privacy fence!

I guess we’ll have to get them to replace it next spring!

Just other day, the cattle need feed for other year!
