Steve ************** With respect Steve, we are talking clematis. The standard procedure is to choose two named varieties and use the cross-pollination method. There's a difficulty here. If you have a wide variety of plants in one greenhouse or garden you get plenty of cross pollination but it is out of control and you can't put your wife's name on a new variety only by chance. If you screen the two plants and cross-pollinate them you get a good chance of success and you will know the antecedents names. What I mean is that you have more control. If you accidentally get a wildcat sport you may as well just call it Lizzie Hoggins. (Only joking, - Liz.! (:^) Doug. ******** |
