Breeding Season

Yahoo! the delphinium seed trials have begun to flower and it looks like we are in for a very exciting season.

First up are some trials for shorter flowering delphiniums. For height reference bear in mind that I'm all of 5'5" tall. In shoes.


I'm really pleased with these as we have several colours showing good compact and even growth. All without any growth regulators


And a view along the house



Contrast these with some cut flower trials where the delph are taller


Then there are the general trials outside which are just begging to flower. Here we have a good contrast between the tall and the short.


Heres a very deep pink we are using, catching the morning sun.


All in all a good start
