My little surprise.

Hi everyone,

Back on Sat. Aug 15 2009 I posted a thread called "My Little Surprise" which included some pic's of the first flowering of one of three or four seedlings I had bought under the name of Ae. Recurvata x Caudata.

There seemed to be a bit of debate about the cross, but as I said, I can only say what was on the name tag.

I self pollinated six flowers and it's fortunate I tagged the ones I did, because after the plant finished flowering it developed seed pods on what I imagine was every flower and the remainder were probably done by New Holland Honey Eaters.

I have planted a few of the seeds I pollinated and the fertility rate seems to be almost 100%, if this is possible.

I have had a few requests for seed, but even after these have been filled there will still a bit of seed left, so if anyone wants any, just send me a stamp self addressed envelope and I'll get it off to you.

All the best, Nev.
