I won't be sharing seeds for a while. I will be working hard to get some Baccatum genes into Pubescens. Just today I had a flower open up to confirm another baccatum x eximium cross! This one has two completely different parents. What I find interesting is if I just showed someone the plants...

I will look for some pictures of the plant itself, not sure I have too many. I did over winter 3 f1s and I'm pretty sure at least 2 of them will make it. The mother was baccatum and had the standard white flowers with yellow dots and the father had white and purple flowers.

What are your goals? Variegation in all related species? I’m assuming it’s a recessive trait. With a single gene 25% would be variegated

That sounds awesome!

The next couple generations should be real interesting! I can’t wait to see what you get. You might have to grow out out a hundred of each in the f2 lol

how did your crosses turn out?

I finally did it! I have got a successful cross of baccatum x eximium! The f2s are coming up over the last several days so there is hope that it should continue to work. Last fall I tried to cross this f1 with pubescens and got fruit to start but it was late fall and all my fruit dropped...

The hard part will be a baccatum x eximium cross. I am getting closer and maybe it's just getting the right ones but it will take a while to find. I have a f2 of a pubescens x 19198 that is looking good and will be what I try to Cross if I ever get a baccatum x eximium

Nothing is working so far. The f1 wasn't true and all attempts this year have failed. Most crosses don't make it past 21 days then abort. I'm getting closer but no luck so far.

What is that yellow flower from?

I've read those charts , I hope they are right. It seems funny though that no one on here has crossed a eximium and a baccatum before and no where on the web are there any pictures of the hybrid flowers or anything else. A lot of people have referred to that crossing chart but you don't hear...

What makes you believe they will be infertile? Have you found any scientific evidence or just what you are guessing? I can find little to no information at all. The only thing I've read makes it seem possible but it was super rare to get them to cross. The lack of any information makes me more...

I have a baccatum x eximium that just sprouted and a pubescens x eximium that is setting fruit right now. So with a little luck and some time we will see if I can cross the two and drag some baccatum Gene's into pubescens!

I thought I read the spots on a baccatum flower are a dominant Gene so either way it is crossed the flower should look like a baccatum in the f1. There should be no heat. This year I am crossing a aji jobito with a cap 455 to get another heat less cross between baccatum and Chinese.

Yes the aji delight was the female and habanada was the male
