Febru-any and All

At the end of 2012, I was accepting seeds like mad. Not everything sprouted, but from the lot, I have more than my share of seedlings. Most are P. tarminiana and P. edulis var. flavicarpa, but I have a few hybrids as well that are growing along side their pure bred cousins. 'Blue-Eyed Susan' x 'Blue Bouquet' is doing the best of that group, but (P. actinia x P. sidifolia) x P.actinia isn't showing any signs of weakness.

The last two days have been very warm in the green house, so the inhabitants are really taking off. Most have matured to the point of needing their 4" pots, although I don't really have space for all of them, and I've been trying to gift many of them away. I'm toying with the idea of posting a flyer offering them for free to co-workers. If I had any passiflora friends in LA, I'd surely unload a few.
