Last year I grew a Prue interwinded with a Marianna's Peace. I wondered what a Potato leaf plant crossed with the extreme wispy regular leaf foliage of Prue would yeild in a hybrid. Keith predicted an "intermediately wispy" regular leaf hybrid.
I saved the seeds and started the plants this year and guess what? Keith what right! I just noticed the leaf difference today. I was paying careful attention to the MP and noticed the regular leaf MP immediately. But just today, as I was watering the Prue sitting right next to the MP X Prue, it became clear that they were the exact same plant. OF the 6 Prue I grew 4 are extremely thin and wispy but two of the plants look just like the MP X Prue. They have a noticable wispyness but not as much as Prue and with wider leafs. Pretty cool and it makes me feel confident that I can seperate the crosses from the hybrids with these seed. Greg |
