This is Y0102, one of the parents we use for the new seed line that produces all pastel shades with brown or black bees

  Kirk and Thomas of Sebright Gardens (Hostas), Oregon USA (See www.sebrightgardens.com) They paid us a visit in December 2009 and rather liked our delphiniums.
 
Debbie, polliating for Royal Aspirations in a plastic house. Note the cardigan, it was fairly cool that day.   Edita nad Debbie weeding trial delphinium beds.
 
A strong pink from more trials   This is Coral, a cutting grown plant fro sale in New Zealand. We're working on producing this even pink from seed.
 
Spare p arents of Blue Lace and Pink Punch flowering at our nursery   This is Taffy, another plant grown for sale in New Zealand. We use similar plants as parents for Pagan Purples.
 
Delphiniums after de-anthering waiting pollination in "The Bee Hive", our most recent growing house named after New Zealand House of Parliament   Some of our delphiniums flowering at the Bason Botanic Gardens, Wanganui
 
A new introduction for 2010, Moonlight Blues, is a short plant (under 3ft tall (1 metre) and available from seed.   Well, what can we say. We are developing even darker mulberry pinks. This from our latest trial beds.
 
And another.   Three very weedy, very successful trial beds. You can see Moonlight Blues in the foreground.
 
A New Variety for retail sales, "Lilac Ladies", will be available towards the end of March 2010.   This and the following two images, is a seedling from our latest trials designed to further improve Royal Aspirations.
