THE PLANTS

Fruits for seeding were recolected in juin 2002, from hybrids in flowering at that moment.

There was not identified the parents

The fruits was transversally sectioned and mature seeds were removed an push over substart without covering.

Germination was evident three weeks after. Seeds showed epygeal character.

As soon at the wrigth leaves was appeared the first transplant was made.

A second transplant after 72 days of germ to individuals nursery pots.

A third transplant at higher pots with the addition of steril organic fertilizant.

The fourty transplant until now, six months ago, was at 10 cms diamet. Pots.

BUT NOT ALL LITTLE PLANTS HAD THE SAME CONTUCT

AFTER 3-4 DAYS THE PHENOME-NON WAS OBSERVED AND THE COLOUR OF ANTHOCYANINES IN THE RED ONE IS EVIDENT.(NEXT)

THIS IS THE PLANT NUMBER 15, FROM THE GREEN LEAVES WERE OBTAINED.

IT REMAINS GREEN WITH TEMPERATURE AND LIGHT CHANGES. HOT INTOLERANT, IT SHOW VERY LITTLE AND APICAL BUDS IN JUIN.

NUMBER 16, OF THE SAME CHARACTERS, DIED

THE PRESENCE OF A HIGH LEVEL OF ANTHOCIANINES IN PLANT TISSUES IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR OF RESISTENCE IN THE SEEDED PLANTS FROM THIS GROUP.

DIED OVER 28ºC .

NUMBERS 14 AND 15 WERE CUT OF ALL IN OCTOBER.

THEIR STEMS REMAINED GREEN.

A SIMPLE CONCLUSION IS:

“MISS CALIFORNIA” IS AN HYBRID WHAT SHOWS A HIGH STABI_

TY IN THE PROGENIE.

OTHER PRECCURSOR´S PROGERNIES WERE NOT IDENTIFIABLES

SOME OF THE RESULTS FROM PLANTS SEEDED IN AUTUMN

I CAN NOT IDENTIFY THE PRECURSORS OF THESE LITTLES, BUT I SUPOSE THEY WERE BEACON.

OTHER ONES DIED FOR THE HOT WEATHER IN SUMMER, BEFORE FLOWERING. THESE INCLUDED THE PROGENIE OF ANNABEL AND GRACILLIS.

THE PLANTS SURVIVED ARE IN THE NEXT IMAGES:

SOME CONCLUSIONS

-MISS CALIFORNIA IS A STABLE HYBRID-ANOMALOUS EMBRYOS PRODUCE LETAL

FORMS.-BEACON AND GRACILLIS ARE NOT SO STA-

BLES IN PROGENIE LIKE IN THE UNIFORMITYOF THEIR POLLEN GRAINS.

-IT WAS VERY NICE TO PLAY BOTANIC ANDI DEMAND DISCULPS FOR MY INTERPRE-

TATION ERRORS.

THANKS FOR ALL
