What's New at Aroidia

2009 Hybridization Work

This year is the year for complex hybrids involving 3 to 4 species. Already we have seedlings of several three-species hybrids, and are awaiting ripening of a few hybrids involving four species. Additionally, we are completing work with A. watsoniana and both A. odora and A. macrorrhizos 'Borneo Giant'. Our newest work involves one of our hybrids, the Brisbane Blue, which should yield some very vigorous progeny if successful.

2009 Hybridization Results

The following lists detail the historical state of our work. We have current work in three stages: pollinated, fruiting, and germinating. Hybridization success here is measured by harvested ripe berries resulting in germinated seeds.

Verified berry set on a cross is indicated with berries. Harvested seed awaiting germination is shown by seeds. Once we have seedlings, the listing will include sdlgs. Crosses listed will remain until berries begin forming or until the inflorescence aborts. Once a cross is verified to have failed (aborted), it will be deleted unceremoniously from the list below.

Some crosses shown below were successful through the seedling stage, then the seedling(s) were lost. Since the cross did yield viable seedlings, however, I have left the listing as a confirmation that the cross has been performed successfully.

The first plant listed in each pair below is the ovule parent and the second one is the pollen parent.
