A closer look

Another hybrid in the making...looks like Damon is making use of the many inflorescence that come out

<a href="http://s1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd495/Lance_Plater/?action=view&current=Iphone11-2011085.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd495/Lance_Plater/Iphone11-2011085.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Another hybrid in the making...but this one is my creation from the pollen I sent them.
If all goes right N. X Aeneas (X rokko X Bical) should be ready in a few months.
No big development has been noticed yet, but I hear Bical crosses tend to start ripening very slowly, so still high hopes for this one!!! A closer look reveals a tiny bit of development over the past month.

Looks like there could be a lot of seeds from this one. It's probably the biggest female flower in the greenhouse right now. More seeds means more giveaways!! :-O

I came back with my new plants to see that my S. Leah Wilkerson F1 seeds had dried out while I was gone :-(. I poured some water in and 12 hours later I noticed that several seeds were sprouting. YAY!! :boogie:

Most of the pics aren't working. AHH!!!
 
The pictures worked for me but it took a minute for them to load.

Wait a minute...your computer may be slow at loading pics ;)
 
pics arent loading for me either, I have a fast computer.
 
wierd...they usually work fine
 
It doesn't work until it says "what I got" up until then it's just the little blue box with a question mark
 
what cpsammich said, only the what I got pics work.
 
Im switching the attachment pics to photobucket...hang on everyone...a few more minutes
