Podophyllum flowering

[olegKon]

The thread is of Podophyllum leaves, but I failed to find that of flowers, sorry. So - long awaited flowering of podophyllum versipelle

 Let's have a new thread for the flowers

Lovely plant, but I'm pretty sure that's a P. hexandrum

Indeed,
you can see the real P. versipelle flowering here: http://www.greenmilenursery.be/photo_podophyllum.html

Thank you, Maggi for the new thread. Very soon I'll develop an inferiority complex as still another time what was bought as a rarety appeared to be very nice but quite usual. Wim, thanks for the link. Nice photos. By the way, can P.hexandrum differ in size, shape and colouration of leaves and flowers? The P.hexandrum I have is somewhat different.

[Lesley Cox]

Yes it certainly can vary Oleg. I have it with both plain and heavily mottled leaves, some more toothed than others, and as well as the pristine white of yours there are some lovely pink forms as well. But all are very good I think.

[olegKon]

Thank you, Lesley. That's what I observe. I have a good old patch of it with smaller barely toothed leaves and pink flowers.

A nameless Podophyllum, but nice anyway.

Do you think it could be one of the nice mottled forms of P. hexandrum? and with the added bonus of a light pink flower?

Podophyllum versipelle this is as much as the flowers open. each flower is covered in two scales which drop of as the petals expand

It happens to us all all the time Oleg. It is still a very beautiful one.

Lesley - The flowers come about a month after shooting. The leaves are fully developed at this point.
