| Hi All, have been flowering many new seedlings and thought you may like a look at a few?
These two Billbergia are siblings and are typical from this cross for large flowers which open slowly ie flowers remain choice for at least 3 weeks each. The parentage is;Billbergia eupheme V purpurea hyb (Select) X B. eupheme V purpurea sdlng (Select) where both seedlings are close to if not F1 hybrids of Bill. eupheme v. purpurea. seedling 1.
Seedling 2.

| Hi Allan, They're a couple of great looking plants there, and the fact that the flowers last three weeks very much adds to their appeal. If you follow this line of breeding who knows how long you can stretch the flowering time. Thanks for posting, I'm alwys interested to see what new hybrids are in production. "Long live the hybridizer" All the best, Nev. |

| Nice work, I've wanted to play with eupheme but I can never get it to flower and in general it does poorly for me except it does pup. |
|
| Two very nice looking bills! Will you be releasing these or are they purely for your own enjoyment? Cheers, Todd |

Canistropsis seidelii x C. billbergoides yellow (half way between both parents) self fertile. flower is approx. 3 inch of golden bracts in each head. Canistropsis seidelii x C. plumb, again half way between both parents. Foliage is very purple in color.
