Can you show me a picture? I haven't seen this happen before. It sounds very neat.

I've already potted them up :( I have some more seed I'll need to soak and hopefully they'll do the same!

I think it's crazy, some of my H. parodii seedlings were triplets!!!!! I wonder what causes this?

Josh, This may seem like a dumb question but is your Bukasovii self fertile..is that what you did to yours self pollenate it?
Also, is Mandonii self fertile?

Thanks,

Donna

Donna,

No question is a dumb question :) You'll never know unless you ask! No, H. bukasovii in my respect is not self fertile. You need the two seperate clones but it bears seed freely if you do. There may be a clone out there that is self fertile but I've not heard of or had experience with one.

On H. mandonii, yes it's fertile, everyone that I know that has one and mine all freely produce seed with it's own pollen!

Josh

Many Thanks, Josh...

Josh,

I'm guessing you floated your bukasovii seeds till they formed roots then planted them? Did it take long for the seeds to sprout?

AJ

AJ,

Yes, I floated them and it only took a couple days :) I think I'm getting close to the national collection holder of Hippeastrum species! haha
