Potato onions starting to sprout and grow. I sowed all of my potato onion seeds of 28 different types at the end of january. I am growing them under a grow lamp and i have the impression that they don't grow that well. I guess you would need a fan and also to vaporize the air to do it properly. They always seem to be at risk of drying out and i am not so sure about the results. If they all stay alive i will have about 500 seed-grown potato onions.
Malus sieversii. This is my little three coloured malus sieversii apple when it was young. Now i am trying to multiply it by approach grafting. The ornamental value of this tree is off the charts. Incredible leaf colours. This was at the end of last year. Now i am approach grafting it onto another apple rootstock. I did the grafting on the 6th of march and plan to cut them off on the 6th of june. In spring the leaves are green with a little red on the edges but each year they then display spectacular colours. The problem is the plant is not very vigourous and we don't know what the fruit will be like. Here you can see that the rootstock makes larger leaves than the three coloured apple. I found this individual in 428 seed-grown malus sieversii. Malus sieversii is incredibly diverse genetically as you can see in the next picture. These are malus sieversii seedlings displaying huge diversity.
