A RED-PETIOLED STREAK ??

[malaprop]

I can't remember having one before--but I have two right now, and the red is strong. I thought those characteristics were on the same chromosome....

With flash...........

These are horrible pictures.....if I do it without a flash, you can't see the streaks, but with a flash, red in the petioles is hard to see......

[newtohosta-no more]

Wow! Very !!

They will be very interesting to follow... hopw they keep on both the red and the streaks

[flowerchild59]

What wonderful colors. Keep us posted.....a beauty.

[tsneal]

OH how exciting!!!!!!!! Keep taking pictures as they grow.

Hope you don't mind if I share a picture here. Got this one from one of the locals last year...I love it.

[malaprop]

Tsneal, I love it--any idea when it was "hatched"? That has good streaking. I'll be very happy if I can get one into adulthood.

Cool seedlings, Mal. They almost look like flames flickering in a soft breeze....

[tsneal]

I dunno Mal. I cannot remember the parentage right now either...ugh!

Your babies are really pretty....WTG!

I have some red in a few seedlings. Below is a Swoosh seedling.

I checked half of my streaked trays and found I have red in Breeders Choice, Sea Prize, Bravo, William Lachman, a number of Swooshes and assorted mix seedlings. Overall in six trays of more mature seedlings I found 23 with very nice red in the petiole.

Makes you wonder if its common or my streaked are feeling very red being in Badger country.

Do you know the pollen parents? That would help.

I don't have any streakers but have red petioles on some of my plain hosta kids. The ones that I know of are from Yellow Splash Rim seeds OP and Wolverine seeds also OP.
I don't know anything about what comes from who but did the red come from the mom's on these???????? (I got the seeds from a seed trade)

OOPS I also wanted to add those are some very cool offspring you have there Did you plan the crosses or just let nature take its course?? ( And your pictures are not terrible either)

I have several adult streaked seedlings in my nursery garden that have red petioles. They do not, however, necessarily produce offspring with the same trait. Mine are from the Let's Streak line, open pollenated. Phyllis

Here is a seedling from this year. Wish it had better substance, and really not sure what the parentage is.
Will be fun to watch and see how all these reds mature.

[druff]

nice mal

trudy thats pretty interesting. maybe the red will hold in the veins. is that a streak in it?

Hi Doug

Yes there are a few streaks in that seedling. I have a feeling the red will be less prominent as it matures, but it will be fun to watch.

How are your seedlngs doing?

[druff]

hi trudy
i got a late start with mine.
but i got good amount of streakers from the your streaky mix.

i also got a couple of yellows from your war paint seed.

thanx for offering the seed thru hallson exchange.

Well, let's try crosses with our red streakers--Who was it that did some work on the red petioles? Bob S.? Was there an article in the HJ?

I took a quick look at the one s you listed, and I didn't see any mention of red petioles. We used to have a searchable database, where you could type in the feature(s) you were interested in and it would sort accordingly, but I don't see it now.
