byblis Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hi all, I wanted to share an image of a beautiful little gem from the highland forests of Colombia. A special thanks to Sebastian Vieira who made a few plants available to some growers. Together with U. asplundii it is one of my favorites! Hope you enjoy it!

Bob H Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Nice flower Stefan, I hope it multiplies and multiplies for you ;-) What conditions are you growing it under, lights, temp, media, etc, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonnieJohnson Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Beautiful! I'm also wondering what conditions you keep it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cephalotus Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Stefan, could you write how you grow your U. jamenosiana? Our plant is small but it's growing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Hingst Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Congratulation to your great success, Stefan! The flower looks very nice - quite similar to asplundii. But the plant seems to have a different grow and flower cycle than asplundii, the latter blooming mostly in colder months, I think. Nice pictures, too!

byblis Posted September 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Hi all, thank you for your compliments and thanks again to Sebastian Vieira, who managed to collect and distribute this species. Please read also his interesting article on the collection trip on his homepage. Cultivation: I obtained a pot with two or three growth spots earlier this year in May or June. I repotted the plantlets pulling away as much moss as I could do with tweezers because I had the impression that some weedy Colombian moss was to overgrow the plantlets. Then I potted one part in pure peat, another one in pure Chile sphagnum in a small pot. Cultivation in my warmhouse with dropping night temps during the summer with a bit of shading. That was all, the plants grew well and the plant in peat sent up two flower scapes in August. Today I was able to pollinate the first flower and could see a large amount of pollen produced. So seed production should occur soon. Hope this helps Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob H Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Mmmm! Seed.......;-) Thanks for the details Stefan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Very impressive Stefan. I notice that the colour and shape of your blooms is differnet than on mine despite the same source. I would say this bodes well for genetically varied clones having been introduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
