Seeing Reds

Today I plucked two fruits. Passiflora sublanceotata x Passiflora foetida and the opposite cross, P. foetida x P. sublanceolata. Both of which were bright red, but the seeds were shaped differently. I pulled 50% more seeds out of the P. sublanceolata x P. foetida than the other, but I sowed 18 of each. They're fresh and from subgenus Dysosmia I expect good germination rates. Maybe in a couple of weeks there will be some sprouts to get excited about.

I also sent one cutting each from the parents to a student at Ohio University. He's doing some genetic study on the subgenus, from which I'm excited to read the findings.
