collection of wild Ribes from seed are doing well

collection of wild Ribes from seed are doing well, this is plant followed by it's tag.. yah the tags are temporary. collecting this germplasm is one step on the way to propagating these, and eventually using them for our own seed source, or breeding work. all of these species are super cold hardy and resilient in our climate, produce edible fruit, and have unique characteristics. native currants and gooseberries are not easy to find from any Canadian nursery, maybe you can get one, but you want the whole collection right? something about spikey fruit is just cool.
