Nerine 2016

[ashley]

N. x mansellii is later here than with Ralph.

Another N. humilis clone (received as var. breachiae, but I suspect not ), smaller, much paler & about 4-6 weeks later than the one shown earlier.

John  - I assume you grow this outdoors.  Do you notice mal-formed stigmas, styles missing stigmas even styles becoming petaloid on your white as I do on 'Blanca Perla' and Ken Hall's white?  One has to go looking for good stigmas to pollinate on both and then pollen is scarce.  I've managed to isolate the pair to cross them but it has taken mulitple attempts to work even where a good stigma is found. I notice a couple of stigma-less styles that may have taken pollen successfully though the jury's still out.


johnw - glorious autumn day @ +12c

HI John. This is the first time it has bloomed, been growing a few years.
Bloom isn't fully expanded and I don't know the particulars of these yet.

There are 15 floret, Johnw

15 seems to be the magical number for a full ball truss.  I have a number of 14 flower ones and hoping that may increase when potted individually.


Thanks for the count.

Another Nerine PS-09-08   ['David Lionel'  x  ('Bagdad' x 'Pantaloon')-25519a].  I wasn't terribly fond of this colour but friends like it, it will have to produce more flowers per truss if it wants to avoid the old heave ho.


john - a +14c & sunny day.

This came as Nerine gaberonensis

I looked in Graham Duncans booklet Grow Nerines and he says Nerine gaberonensis has smooth pedicils and peduncles and lots of flowers. This plant has slightly hairy pedicils and peduncles. And only 6 flowers in the umbel.
Also no dark line on center of the flowers.

what is this ?
