Tarnok flowering

Recommended Posts

Hi,

My new S.leuco 'Tarnok' has thrown up a flower bud this year. I've read on the web that it is sterile but does anyone know if either the pollen (assuming there is any) or the stigma are fertile? I have read that the ovaries and stigma don't connect correctly so seed production is impossible. So, anyone know differently or should I forget about getting seed and just admire the spectacular flower.

Cheers,

Mine has got a flower coming up as well. A hybrid with it would be....interesting, but I'd say that many people have been trying it over and over, ever since it was discovered, yet you don't hear of any hybrids with it. This is the reason I think it is sterile. Strange plant though!!

It isn't sterile but it's difficult to obtain seeds from it.

So i'ts almost sterile, since i'ts difficult...
