The second wave of excitement (after hybridizing) began this morning with the picking of the first seed pod which was hybridized on March 29 for a total of 49 days on the scape. The cross was as follows:
(Seedling No. 9024) [(Larry Grace X Awesome Bob) X Christmas Greetings)] X (Seedling No. 9008) [(Spectral Elegance X Wonder Of It All]. The pod caught my attention because it had cracked open. There were four solid seeds and two soft ones. The soft ones were discarded. The four hard ones were placed in a ziplock bag and into the refrigerator. Here is the pod.

If this does not make sense to you, just give me a holler at LeePickles@epbfi.com and I will try and straighten it out.

Friday morning, Jean and I will drive about 100 miles to the south to visit with Bill and Diana Waldrop at Kennesaw Mountain Daylilies. It is always such a treat to visit with Bill and Diana and we look forward to viewing the blooms.

Exciting things happen to those who hybridize!

Life is very, very good.
