Recessive genes within the seeds make it a bit of a lottery but sometimes you can create something quite special.
I'm a newbie to this in all honestly it's a buzz to see something you created with just a cotton bud.
It forms a seed pod, you watch it grow on , and you often wait two years after getting it through a winter in the heated greenhouse before it matures and flowers.
Here's one I crossed , Aube Sanguine a fiery orange in good temperatures and El Dorado a stand out yellow Aurea hybrid from J.T Sessions.
Happily the Orange is transferred by Aube Sanguine and El Dorado has brought its head up with larger tendrils( twangers) and brought with it's strong Aurea like talc scent.
Even if it never gets registered, I like it's free flowering nature and exotic looks.
Here's an update, the 3rd bloom has decided to puff itself out and show another side to itself.
