Mail on Yahoo groups 2006 - March 14: You asked about hybridizing goals. I wish I could tell you that my goals were well-defined, emanating from conscious, thoughtful effort. Not so. Actually I did start with one goal. I had read about Itohs; I had time and garden space. All I needed was a few fertile lactifloras and a couple of lutea hybrids. Done. From that point on I was guided by the kindness of other peony persons, by seeds and plants sent me, by luck, and by the peonies themselves. This year, if the weather ever settles into spring, I expect to pollinate hoping to achieve (l) a really good red AGLH which I can name for my father, using Hephestos, Pluto, Boreas, Icarus, Thunderbolt; (2) a few Itohs with lovely flowers and cladosporium resistant foliage. (I did buy Mt. St.Helens this year. The University of Kansas has published information about cladosporium resistant lactiflora.) (3) ludlowii on other tree peonies and the reciprocal cross; (4) perhaps moutan or AGLH on potannini and lutea; (5) Itoh on lactiflora; (6) I'll check to see if two tenuifolia hybrids, grown from Bill S. seed, exhibit fertility. Lots of possibilities but probably not a lot will get done. There are other avenues I'd love to take. (l) The only delavayi here has not blossomed for several years. If I were starting over I'd shop for a superior delavayi, cross by a red moutan, and hope for a beautiful (fertile too) F-1. (2) I love the lutea hybrids. I'd certainly continue hoping for a superior seedling. (3) Years ago I had officianalis (peregrina?) Otto Froebel. From it, on lacti, came two seedling singles, lovely colors. Garden names are Salmon Luster and Sister Rose. Salmon Luster does well in a daughter's garden in Southern California. Sister Rose would probably grow as well. Perhaps someone will use a similar cross and test the adaptability of peonies to southern climates. (4) I mentioned the tenuifolia hybrids. I think their foliage is the prettiest in the garden. I hope someone will consider working with tenuifolia. (5) What a pleasure it would be to work toward hybrids using the newly designated tree species. (6) information taken from websites offered by Carsten, Walter, and the Canadian Peony Society make it possible to search painlessly for proven breeders. Now for the questions. Itoh pollen on lacti would produce a seedling carrying 1/4 Itoh genes. Right? One seed pod might produce several seedings, one with Itoh type leaf and several others with lacti type leaf. Let's assume the seedling with the lacti type leaf is really part Itoh and not just a the result of unplanned pollination. Any idea what I could hope for, each type, besides possible fertility? Thank you. ------ I trust Bill S. has returned to good health. Bill, you have stated that sometimes your messages get wiped out. My computer has eaten this letter twice. I'm going to send it right now before it escapes again. ---- Best wishes to all Irene |
