Lofthouse's Big Hill blossoms.
Joseph, am a confused newbie who wishes to help! Here are photos showing blossoms on a Big Hill, the seeds of which were received from you recently. In your description of Big Hill you say: "closed flowers are a dominant trait. Therefore any offspring that have closed flowers are off-type and should not be called Big Hill." The flowers shown here appear to be closed... to this newbie. You say that you would love to receive seeds from any descendants of this variety that are off-type or have closed flowers.
Would like to harvest seeds from this crop, if it makes. Then plant them next spring in order to see if they produce offspring that you may wish to receive.
To better understand "closed flowers," do these photos show the closed flowers to which you refer. Please help someone who would like to help you.
