Jox Posted December 19, 2013 Could this be a new record? I have been very busy with work of late & haven't had any time to look at my plants or participate on this wonderful forum but this arvo I noticed a little T. lophophoroides that I sowed as a seed on the 7/1/13 is starting to form a flower . This has taking me by surprise as I was thinking I would be waiting for many years to see a flower. Here are a few of pics. I will take some better photos over the weekend. Cheers Jox 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jox Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks for the replies everyone, sorry I have taken so long to get back here. @myco, as far as I know T.lophophoroides are not self fertile and this seems to be the case with mine, it has produce about six flowers since I started this thread and has not produced any fruits. The good new is I have a few more the same age which look like they will flower in the next few weeks so I should be able to cross pollinate them . Here are a couple of photos of it in flower. Cheers Jox 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schrodinger's Khat Posted February 14, 2014 They look SO healthy! Are they indoor grown? Let me know if you get any spare seed out of it! Outstanding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
myco Posted February 14, 2014 really thats strange i had a few of them unfortunately im down to 1 now i lost 2 to rot when i went away over winter i was not very happy about that but i still have one left here and a bunch of seedlings no flowers this year but last year they all flowered and i got seed out of all of them and i never attempted to pollinate any of them some bug must have come along and done the job for me i just assumed they were self fertile as they all produced seed without me even touching them i probly should check the database and see what it actually says about them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prier Posted February 14, 2014 Fairly common to see turbs with flowers bigger than the body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
afungitobewith Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Very awesome! I was wondering how long they would take on own roots. This is one I sown 5 months ago. My first ever turbini flower :D . Grafted it maybe a week after it sprouted. Edited February 15, 2014 by afungitobewith 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
