Hi Daffnetters,
The atrocious weather continues over Kapiti and most of N Z
Very unsettled here, no chance of doing any hybridising, no sunshine and a lots of wet flowers.
Allthose early crosses I ,d hoped to make will probably have to wait until next season unless it defies the current forecast.
Oneof the few positives is that the flowers love the rain, size is great and growth is strong.
A good sign with the first shows about three weeks away.
