| I breed nasturtiums as well as zinnias! Anyone who has any expertise on this is free to join. My breeding goal is yellow to white flowers with fragrance and a dark throat. I already have 2 yellow nasturtiums, one with an excellent habit and throat color, and some that did not bloom. This comprises 1/3 of all my nasturtiums- the rest were culls (Any combination of red color,vine habit,or no throat color) Pics coming soon! |

| how do you replicate success.. should you find something stunning... arent they annuals??? or is it just for the fun of a one year thrill ... ken |
|
| Hi Ken, "how do you replicate success...?" Save seeds from them. And/or use their pollen to cross pollinate with other "successful" specimens. It's not just a one year thrill for me with zinnias. Which also are annuals. ZM |

| but they dont come true from seed ... do they?? so any given 'success' .. is ephemeral at best ... non-duplicatable???? ken |
|
| Ken, Where do you think all those hundred or more different varieties of zinnias that are commercially available come from? Their "successes" with new varieties are not ephemeral or "non-duplicatable", so why should it be so for us? If what you are saying about annuals were true, there wouldn't be any packets of annual flower seeds for sale. ZM |
