Thanks Corky,

That is beautiful dvg!

A very tiny P. heterophylla seedling peeks out from a surrounding landscape of coarse sand.



This seedling is just over a week old.

The two bulbs each produced 3 flowers apiece this year and i pollinated all 6 flowers, collected seed from 4 of the flowers, but was only able to germinate about a dozen or so seeds from just one of those seed capsules.

So i snapped pics last night, then fed the seedlings, so hopefully in a few weeks they will have grown some more.

and you have seeds germinating,i missed the update but a dozen seeds to grow is pretty good i think

I just saw this. These are really neat plants.

I have had some success with P. medusina, perhaps it is time for me to try P. heterophylla.


Nice job!

Thanks Corky and Lil Stinkpot.

These two have now gone into their dormant habit.



But the leaf pullings i took last year, from the two plants shown above, have mostly reawakened from their blissful mexi-ping slumber.
