Fernando Rivadavia Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) You bring up an interesting question: does anybody know if Genlisea hybrids are fertile? I am growing one for the first time, G.lobata X flexuosa, and I've been hand-pollinating it. No seed yet, even though some of the pedicels have bent downwards (as they usually do with species of subgen.Tayloria when pollinated). BTW, please check your "violacea X lobata", as the common one in cultivation was actually made using the "giant violacea", which was later published as G.flexuosa. Here's a pic of mine: Best wishes, Fernando Rivadavia Edited January 1, 2014 by Fernando Rivadavia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Do you get any seed from those flowers? My Genlisea lobata x violacea has two flowerstalks and I am a bit wondering I once had seeds of Genlisea Violacea but I don't believe to have had seed of Genlisea Violacea x Lobata.

Cephalotus Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Maybe if someone have made a further crossing of that hybrid, it could produce seeds. But I would doubt it would produce any from self pollination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Cephalotus : I've just found a link of Rosolis76 with a flower of Genlisea Subglabra : http://www.cpukforum...74&hl=subglabra The colors are rather the same. Furthermore, mine Genlisea Subglabra comes from his home. Edit : I will try an other Genlisea Subglabra come from somewhere else.

CatEye Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I buyed this Genlisea two years ago. It was labelled as Genlisea violecea "giant". I kind of doubt that it's a Genlisea flexuosa. So can anyone help me ID it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Rivadavia Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hmmm.... Doesn't look like a perfect match to flexuosa from this picture alone. More pics? It could be a hybrid between flexuosa and violacea. BTW, my lobata X flexuosa seems to be sterile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fleischmann Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hello, The photo clearly doesn't show G. flexuosa - this plant looks like normal G. violacea (a variable plant!) to me. Regarding the discussion of flower colours in the African species of Genlisea: the pale flowers and dark flowers are a result of temperature and light. Grow your plants very bright and with a notable temperature drop at night (like the plants experience when grown outdoors, as shown here), and the corolla will exhibit a much darker colour. If the temperatures are too warm at night, the flowers remain pale, no matter how much light you give to your plants. The reason for this is sugar metabolism of the plant (assimilation and dissimilation), and the fact that the red plant pigments (anthocyanes in the case of Lentibulariaceae) are dissolved in the cell vaculoes, like sugars. The same underlying mechanism is responsible for the fact that Dionaea traps are more vividly coloured and darker red in spring and autumn than in summer, although the plants will receive much more sun (but less temperature decrease at night) in summer. All the best, Andreas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Hi everybody,On this day of Valentine's Day I had the pleasure to see blooming the flowers of Genlisea Africana.

Cephalotus Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Great. I cannot wait when mine will like to flower. It resembles a bit G. subglabra from shape, but leafs are totally something else. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
