hostilis Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Wow. I've never seen a trich flower like that last one!! Your collection never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for sharing. Edited April 14, 2014 by hostilis 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZS Posted April 14, 2014 I have seen this trait in other species as well - dangling the stigma outside the flower for a couple of days may encourage out-crossing with other open flowers instead of possible self-fertilization - seems that after a day or two the flowers open fully and look normal - curious to see what happens here! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swiper Posted April 15, 2014 Those last two pics look like T. not so grandiflorus ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellonasty Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Really nice plants mate I have a few different varieties growing myself, I'm growing them all from seed so still probably a year or so before flowers. I've also got a couple of "Trichopsis" that should flower soon, can't wait to see the flowers on them. Edited April 15, 2014 by Hellonasty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
