N. northiana soon to bloom!

Hi,

My N. northiana is going to bloom again in a few weeks time.
So, if anyone has pollen available, it would surely be appreciated.
I will be sure to split half the seeds available with anyone who
donates pollen.

BTW, I am especially interested in pollen from N. hamata, as I
know several males have recently bloomed, including mine.
And, although I will use some of my own pollen, I would like
to have hamata pollen from other sources, as well.

Please send me a private message ASAP is you have, or soon will
have, pollen available.
 
dustin has hamata pollen, but save some female flowers for me, too! i want to cross your northiana with my campanulata.
 
I have around another 2 dozen or so flowers to open up on my N. hamata, if you're interested, Jeff. I also have N. x Judith Finn pollen that will go to waste.
 
Thanks, Dustin. I would really appreciate some of your hamata
pollen.
 
i have a male 'Miranda' going to bloom again. i was going to cut it off but if your interested i can let it bloom. prolly wind up looking like plain Mixta though wouldnt it?

Thanks for your kind offer, but I'm really looking for species,
rather than hybrids.
 
Dustin Pm. Philicula he is looking for some pollen for his campanulata and I bet he`d love some of hamata!

not a problem just thought i would offer. the camp and hamata pollen sounds way more interesting anyways.

I have an alata flowering if you're interested (who says you have to use pollen from one species all on the same flower scape?)

I'd say a looong while. Not that I am implying Jeff is old by any means! =)

I seem to recall that it took about six years to go from a
1 cm diameter TC plant to maturity.

At about 1.5 m in diameter.
