Hippi' Seed Production 'In Vitro' *ggg*
ooops - don't take that toooo seriously,
dear GardenWebBulbForum readers
However, I am looking forward to a major coup as I have pollinated one cut flower bearing 4 blooms with pollen (from one other cut flower but THAT is not so spectacular).

The first almost black one is the prospective mother plant.
Pollination on the two older flowers was successfull, and the respective seed pods have developed very well until now and meanwhile, as common for after 3 weeks almost attained the final anticipateable dimension. Particularly the both individual stalklets which are carrying the surviving pods have doubled their length.
I have ventured this overconfidential-presumptuous project because the stem of this cut flower was so big, so weighty, making it rather probable to deliver nutrients to the uppermost point where the seed pods are demanding material supply.
The main - and I believe well known - problem is that the stem decomposes so rapidly - from the cutting point onwardly. This commonly clogs the water transport lines in the stem and causes it to collapse prematurely.
Therefore I had added a combined liquid cut flower nutrition (sugars I presume) and water fresh-keeping product (Copper++ ion I presume) but I notice that the stem is beginning to wilt schuscht now.
That is exciting.
Hold on, stem!
let's say 3 more weeks pleeeeeeeease
(Photo-of-prooof is to come soon)
