I thought I would share some of the more interesting hybrid seeds
I am getting ready to plants. These are off of plants
I crossed in 2006 and will be sprouting this season.

1 stuttgart hybrid seed
5 black knight hybrid seeds
10 pink sunburst hybrid seeds
8 Ty ty gold variegated seeds
5 intrigue tetraploid form seeds
5 hybrid Musafolia seeds
3 musafolia black seeds
4 constatution hybrid seeds
30 zulu warrior hybrids seeds

I also have a ton of others but they are all crosses
with new hybrids and most of the names are not very
publicly known so most people would not know them if I listed them.
Most are intruge hybrids or dark leaf forms.

In 2006 I did a experiment were I cross breed Canna
pink sunburst with my hybrid Romance. I was able to
get around 75 seeds off of romance and this cross
hopefully their will be something interesting from
that cross. I have heard that it does not send out
variegated offspring but. I figured I would try for
myself and see what happened with a higher number of
crosses.

I also have about 10 new hybrid seeds off the plant pictured. Should be a good year!!!
