This should be extremly easy. I have some better pics of this but it's so easy I got to start out with a pic where it's hard to see. If nobody can get it, I'll start posting the other pics. Feel free to ask any questions.
The wierd thing is that about half of the D.intermedias growing in this area had plants growing from the flower scape. So is this evidence of a mutation?
I'm not saying anything, other that I think it's strange that so many of the plants in that colony have plantlets on thier scapes. It makes me wonder if this is a trait that is passed along to the offspring. This could make a cool curtivar if it is.
well, you'd take a regular one and put it in the exact same conditions those are in, and if it does the same thing then you'd know it's because of the environment.
then you could try experimenting to see exactly what (if it's a single thing) makes them do that. the water, light, etc. or if maybe it's a combination of thigns.
or you could take some of those and put them in other environments. if they keep doing it, even if others in the same environment don't, then it's definately genetic. if they don't, oh well.
lol
It could be genetic. The question is, if these plantlets produce roots of their own if put in contact with the soil? See if you can test that. that would make it vastly easter tp quiclly grow it up to size. i wonder of this trait is carried or lost in the seeds? Test and see if its hereteble by seeds. Vegetive cuttings of the plants seen producing plantlets deffinatly should be undertaken to see if they will producde plantlets like these pictured.
