AndyP Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Not sure if that should be the collective name for a load of P. grandiflora , but here's what my sink on the patio looked like a few weeks ago. Sadly the show is now over for another year...just waiting to see how much seed is generated now... Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federico Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 HHAHAH that's great! You had to see them in nature andy, they are in the same condition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Salter Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I love to see P. grandiflora in masses like that if only they were a bit more randomised though and not too neatly in rows. Still stunning though. (Jumble them up a bit next year ) Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm82792 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 I really want to grow more butters I can't grow mexis but grow my primuliflora really well so more I want to get more temperate and semi temperate pings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Jumble them up a bit next year ) Thanks for posting. Oh you are fussy, aren't you? They're not all well disciplined though - notice that some have escaped over the 'fence'... To be honest, I can't quite see them as being in neat rows as such - I'll have to go out with a ruler to check... Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikei Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 beutiful flowers!!! i love the color of them. how long have you been growing them in there??? Mikei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 I agree - this species looks stunning in groups. Did you plant them? Or scatter them? The distribution certainly is angular ;-) Is this because you didn't plant any in the top corner or did the gemmae fail here for some reason?

Markus Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi Andy, this looks really fantastic. I have to think about building something like this for next year. Unfortunately the flowering season is over now... Cheers, Markus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimfoxy Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Really lovely. I need to populate a bit of a bog with grandiflora so if anyone has any spare gemmae at any time, they would be gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob-Rah Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 How about dotting some pink forms amongst them? The display is quite stunning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Salter Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 How about dotting some pink forms amongst them?The display is quite stunning! A good idea Rob, I think what I'm seeing as regimented is the flowers stems are all the same angle and the flowers all the same direction as they nuturally would be I expect next year they will be pushing each other in all directions.

AndyP Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I agree - this species looks stunning in groups.Did you plant them? Or scatter them? The distribution certainly is angular ;-) Is this because you didn't plant any in the top corner or did the gemmae fail here for some reason? Ah! I see now...I am trying to keep them away from that corner as I have a couple of Drosera rotundifolia there (although they have never really done that well here, for some reason). The pings tend to smother them given the chance...I guess you could say the pings were placed evenly(ish) when I repotted last year... i love the color of them. how long have you been growing them in there??? Hi Mikei. I've had this sink for probably around 10 years, although I replanted them all last year as the soil needed replacing (which could also account for the neat rows, as I had to fit as many as possible in a small space!). It was the turn of the sink to look good this year - last spring I posted some photos taken around my pond, but this isn't looking so good this year. How about dotting some pink forms amongst them? That's ok for the people who have some pink ones Ha! Ha! I was thinking the same thing...anybody want to swap some... Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-Rah Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Send me a pm in the late autumn and I can probably spare a few gemmae of a pink form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscott Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Very beautiful picture! Question: I just recently germinated this species from seeds. Obviously, I'm not going to see any flowers this year, but how long might it take for them to flower, assuming my growing conditions are adequate?
