The first Marque Moon blooms of the year
I did an intentional cross with Purple D’Oro, which only had one bloom yesterday. Wasn’t sure if they were a good cross option but I decided to just wing it. I have now found a good source of ploidy and parentage info and have found that Purple D’Oro is diploid and Marque Moon is tetraploid, so the cross I did will probably not succeed. But hey, I am now farther down the path to educated decisions for potential crosses.
Yikes! Yet one more thing my poor non-geeky husband and friends will now endure in our conversations. Hopefully I can pay it back with a successful beautiful cross.
