Very nice, Josh! I'm off to scope out your blog! :-)

That's a beauty Josh, I love her form, very beautiful and so graceful. I'm going to add your blog to Favorites so I can check in now and then..thanks,

Donna

Beautiful! Indeed what Donna says: graceful! And I'm going to follow your blog, thank you for the link.

That's a First Rate Blog Joshua. Fine work.

Pat, that really means a lot to me coming from you, really!

Hi Josh, Just goofing around so happened to check in and see this.....I have a ton of these blooming in my basement right now as well as striatum x blossfeldiae so if you have more that are going to bloom and want pollen I can send you some. I do not bother to cross mine for more progeny anymore as I have given away so many seed that I must have saturated the market for this little lady I would think. It is a pretty and very reliable bloomer isn't it :o) Dan

Dan,

It's a beautiful flower, I have selfed it as it's self-fertile and produces quite a bit of seed!

This one blooms twice a year at least, it's very beautiful!

I have updated this plant on my blog :)

THANKS DAN, I appreciate the offer.

This looks like a great flower, I would love to have some seeds--Dan, the market is not saturated...

Can you post pix of the leaf bases? That is a key to ID for this one.

Thanks.

Raydio,

I got this from the Doran collection so I'm sure of its ID. What are you wanting to see on the leaf bases? In lots of sun they have a reddish brown tinge to them. Currently there are no leaves.

I'm not questioning the ID.

I want to see the leaf shape-- re: the "petiolatum" designation-- as compared to other striatums' foliage shape. I have striatums that have narrow leaf bases, but not sure how they compare to the petiolatum var. (Which they could be I suppose.)

R.

Raydio,

The leaves on this species are quite wide, thick and shorter and have a very "shiny" or glossy appearance. In high light situations they have a red/brown base. I will post pictures once they grow but the best idea will be gotten from pictures during the summer months.

To reiterate what Johnsonm08 said "the market is not saturated" I too would love some seeds ;-)

Donna

I can wait, Josh.

Thanks.

R.
