The structure is down now and much needs to be hauled away. The concrete foundation is next. Uuuggghhh!
It did. That year had a much better summer than this (which has been lousy frankly) and a long mild autumn. It was still blooming at christmas in a sheltered spot outdoors that year.
Cautleya Spicata seeds, when the fruit (or is it a capsule) opens you see a small pea-sized black ball, a closer look shows it contains dozens of seeds. Will try to see if I have any luck at germinating these, apparently they must be sown immediately at room temperature. Which is a bit strange I think given the fact that if the seeds fall on the ground and stay outdoors they soon will be confronted to lower temps. Perhaps best also to provide day/night temp swings as I think they are getting in habitat when the seeds ripen.
Will you clean them first? From my recollection there viability lasts whilst still in the berry but shortens quickly once cleaned up.
Lovely Gerd, how do you grow it?
