jimscott Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I was looking through the Photofinder, poring over the ones that give you a preview (excellent update!!!), and I just wasn't sure. I never see and actual flower. What hour of the day do they open... or will it be for several days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Pico. Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 It's just moss, the flower scape is very different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefforever Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Those are moss spore capsules. I've gotten flowers off plants about that size though. Hang in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agamemnon Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) Hi, I do not want to disappoint you but it's really only moos spore capsules. Edited December 16, 2009 by agamemnon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RL7836 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Jim, In my limited experience with Utrics, they take their time in sending up flower stalks and 'preparing' the bloom. Unlike some dews, which can surprise you with an open bloom (& typically close just as fast), the Utrics take a while to open and then often hang around for some time ...

jimscott Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 The U. sandersonii's and livida certainly last for several days. Ping flowers also do. I did the 'je te plumerai' thing with the moss scapes. It was like having U. subulata! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Caldwell Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I'm pretty sure that's not a moss spore capsule... Looks fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
