Breeding Catts: A Photo Journey
Meet the folks!
In March I decided to cross the two full-sized Catts I had blooming, since the cross hasn't yet been registered. Lc. Mildred Rives (a huge plant with large 8" flowers) and C. gaskelliana (more refined with 6" flowers.)
I first crossed them on 3/23, using gask pollen onto MR, but nothing happened. I then crossed them again on 3/29, using a fresher MR flower. I decided at that point to cross the plants in both directions, since the parent that develops the seed pod (aka the pod parent) imparts more of its characteristics to the flowers, and I wanted to see what the lovely gaskelliana would produce. So I pollinated each with the others pollen.
First pic is MR, the second is gaskelliana.
