Hybridizing and Planting Videos

Now I have the bug. After talking to Stephanie Markham at the GRIS region 2 meeting I have decided to try my hand at hybridizing. A while back we had a lesson on planting seeds. I did as instructed and planted some random seeds I had gathered. I planted the pot and forgot it. Lo and behold, digging out the garden I had some trouble weeding and discovered the forgotten container. There was one iris seedling and one daylily seedling. This year I gathered some seeds and labeled them "X bee>" as some of Stephanie's were. Then I headed for the internet to find a refresher on planting them. So here is a video for this year on how to plant them and another for the spin on how to hybridize. Both from Kendall Richard (or Mark Richard as he identifies himself). Very nicely done! I have ordered from Pleasant Valley before. I didn't realize that he hybridized! Now I will look for his introductions.
