No polination attempts yet.
I have to be here at the right time of day!!!
The flowers are only just starting so I should get a chance.
I guess 1 will have to be a yellow marieae, The others will depend on what else is flowering, if I can make a 'wide cross' it might be usefull that leaves 2 - maybe albinica or albinigold? I think they are both budding. Its a shame that 'Freds redhead' is probably too small for this year.

Tina - from cuttings they do thicken up but deo not make a 'proper' caudex. Seed grown is better.
