May 26, 2021 GHA seed fund list

When requesting seeds from Mel Grice, if you do not give him your snail mail address, you will NOT receive any seeds. GHA is not certain of your address unless you tell Mel what it is each and every time you order seeds.

Mel Grice

Because there is usually a big rush for ordering seeds when the CrossWords newsletter is sent, you must give at least 10 substitutions. Often Mel receives a couple dozen seeds from one cross, so supplies could be limited.

Keep in mind that the request limit is five (5) packets each time CrossWords is mailed. Since GHA is absorbing the costs of mailing, please make no more than 3 requests a year with a maximum of 5 packets (but send 10 substitute requests per time).

Jay Sespico, USA JS 17-01 Sinningia speciosa ‘Bristol’s Good Morning’ × Sinningia speciosa ‘Pedra Lisa’ – This hybrid yielded large reds, blues, and pinks that usually peloric and of good flower size. Many had spots. JS 17-02 Sinningia speciosa ‘Sentsational Pepperpot’ × Sinningia speciosa ‘Pedra Lisa’ — In this cross S. ‘Pedra Lisa’ proved dominant. I got many combinations of lavender and white nodding flowers, some with 6 petals and some were pleasantly fragrant. JS 17-04 Sinningia speciosa ‘Rock Presence’ (a 6 lobed lavender) × Sinningia speciosa ‘Bristol’s Good Morning’ —I am hoping for good sized red nodding flowers with fragrance. JS 17-06 (Sinningia speciosa ‘Bristol’s Good Morning’ × Sinningia speciosa ‘Pedra Lisa’) × (Sinningia speciosa ‘Bristol’s Good Morning’ × Sinningia speciosa ‘Thad’s Gas Planet’) — This was a cross between a dark red and a 6 lobed blue flower. Hoping for a floriferous plant with red nodding flowers of good size.

I’m hoping for large white flowers on a compact plant with great foliage. JS 17-09 (Sinningia speciosa ‘Sentsational Pepperpot’ × Sinningia speciosa ‘Pedra Lisa’) × (Sinningia speciosa ‘Bristol’s Good Morning’ × Sinningia speciosa ‘Thad’s Gas Planet’) — I made this cross hoping for 6 lobed red nodding flowers with fragrance. The pollen parent was a large dark red crossed onto a 6 lobed lavender nodding flower. JS 17-10 (Sinningia speciosa ‘Bristol’s Good Morning’ × Sinningia speciosa ‘Thad’s Gas Planet’) × (Sinningia speciosa ‘Bristol’s Good Morning’ × Sinningia speciosa ‘Pedra Lisa’) — This cross has a large white nodding flower crossed onto a peloric red.

I was hoping for a fragrant red. JS 17-13 (Sinningia speciosa ‘Bristol’s Good Morning’ × Sinningia speciosa ‘Pedra Lisa’) × Peloric White — I bought a commercially produced peloric white S. speciosa and crossed it onto a good red, hoping for some combination of red and white.

(2) The S. araneosa hybrid comes from S. araneosa x ‘Mama Cat’. I am only thinking the plant and leaves resemble that of S. ‘Mama Cat’. The leaves are lighter in color compared to S. ‘Mama Cat’. This is only a deduction and may not be accurate. (3) Sinningia ‘Mama Cat’ is a S. sellovi hybrid that has dark reddish leaves with reddish flowers.

Susan Turner, New Zealand ST 04-08 Streptocarpus large flowered pink hybrid x (S. vandeleurii x self) Some further information from Susan: My Streptocarpus candidus has no violet markings. It is plain white with yellow throat markings and is honey scented. Streptocarpus Ulysses x Holiday Hybrid: My plant was grown from seed obtained from the GHA Seed List in 1989. The cross was made by Darrell Trout and I'm still growing one of the original plants. It has lavender flowers with attractive throat markings. It's different from anything else I grow.
