jimscott Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 (edited) This plant - the paddle - is sending up a flower scape. Is it self-fertile? I have seen it produce plantlets, but can I get seeds? Edited October 26, 2007 by jimscott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forbes Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thanks, guys. For the record, I've been alerted that the original posting contains an egregious typo: Faye Wray's name is misspelled! Jim, 'Ivan's Paddle' is indeed self-fertile, but just barely. Don't expect to flood the world with seeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ivan Snyder Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Thanks Forbes, great photography. Hey Jim, glad to see Ivan's Paddle in NY. The plant is fertile yet makes few good seed, and even the good seed does not usually produce a good plant. I have continued breeding the plant and have since improved fertility beyond your first generation plant. Still it is best to reproduce from leaf cuttings and save the seed only for selecting your own new clone variants. The Darlingtonia 'Othello' seedling is less than a year old yet has adult form pitchers! Cheers, Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimscott Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 This is an honor! The plant was sent to me a year ago, by a Californian teen named Peter (rubra or rubrarubra forum name). No flattery intended, but this is quite a handsome sundew! Do you think that this approach would work for a leaf cutting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarraceniashawn Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Great plants! I really hope to make it to the next meeting. I hope to see everyone there and some new faces? Im glad were having another pot luck and plant exchange. It was really fun last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forbes Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Jim, I think Ivan usually propagates them on sphagnum. I tend to put D. x obovata cuttings on sphagnum peat, but have floated them in water too. The new plantlets usually develop faster in terrestrial environs.
