Don't you just hate it when...

Despite your best plans, one gets away from you and you end up with a seedling whose father is known, but you have no recollection of who the mother was? I must have collected the hip with the tag attached, but forgot the name of the seed parent. It’s obvious this one IS a hybrid, but I sure wish I knew from what mother?

I don’t mind it when the seedling is bad but when you got something good or interesting it does get irritating. That seedling looks like it could be used for home protection when it gets bigger.

I agree, Adam. It’s pretty scary looking! It should be something like either Blue for You X Clinobract or Show’n’Tell X Clinobract, but it COULD be something else… If it’s pink, perhaps I should call it “Barbie Wire”?

Vlad might work.

“The Impaler”? Absolutely appropriate!

Well, you’re the mom for it now, LOL! :]

I feel better about my mystery hips now, lol! All you can do is wait and see what she looks like and hope you can tell something from that. Sure is healthy looking though.
