New Millennium Delphiniums

Delphinium Gallery 2000

The first year of seed production in Wanganui. The plants you see in the plastic growing house were planted when the house was just a bare frame. We have named this pollinating house "The White House".


A light blue used in crossings for our pale blue seedline. Taken in March 2000.	January 2000 and the beginning of the first crop of seed from Wanganui. Note how short the plants are, being either in their first year or recently transplanted. Contrast this with later photos showing the same plants flowering in December 2000 later in this gallery.	The principal mother of our seedlines brought together as "Royal Aspirations". First year plants in January 2000.

January 2001 and this male parent is really starting to hit its straps. Plants like this can be obtained from our seed for "Dusky Maidens " (#API7001).	Mothers for "Sweethearts" (#API7000), pink seedlings with white bees.	Ok, so I finally had to make some steps or grow longer legs. It takes at least 10 hours a day actually pollinating in the height of the season so this sort of action had to be avoided. The steps won hands down!
