Hallson Gardens

Hi all, Just wanted to post these pictures of my Guacamole X(Betsy King X (DXD#1)) seedling's flower. Not red but, it is large and it's fragrant.

That's pretty cool to get a cross using guacamole as the pod parent. Pretty for a fragrant flower too.

Hi Chris, Yes this is the only seedling out of 50+ seeds.

So it is possible, just not the best odds Thanks.

What a wonderful colour for a fragrant cultivar! Congrats!
And it's great to see you back on this forum again Chris! And on a totally different topic, how are you guys enjoying the emerald isle?

I try to visit but honestly forget for long stretches.

We are still trying to sell in Michigan and really thought it was going to happen this spring but then the pandemic shut everything down. But we bought a house in Ireland, closed on it in March and got the key and stayed for a bit there. Once the travel shutdowns were starting we came back to Michigan since that's where our stuff is still. Work is being done on the house over there now so our next visit will be a lot easier. It is a 110 year old country farmhouse that hasn't seen updates in 60 years. It had electric lights but only a couple outlets and no central heating. That's all being worked on now. The good news is that it was lived in continuously so it is solid and dry. After the updates are done we will probably move there even if the house here in Michigan hasn't sold yet. We are excited!

Wow.....I am still not believing that all this is gone now that I retired... I'm kinda getting back into the plants, but not like before because I'm old now...

Chris and Brian, I still want to come up to see you guys before you leave....

Nice to get a sign of life from you, Chris! Good to hear you guys found a place and it sounds to me as if you and Brian will have to sharpen up those DIY skills

This plant has been lost to a late frost.
