My Stapelia grandiflora bloomed today! Around 11 AM, I noticed that one petal had popped out of the balloon--while doing something on the other side of the plant shelf a few minutes later, I heard a little *pop* and saw that the entire flower had blossomed.
This excites me greatly. I wonder if I can self-fertilize the bloom? I do so like to start things from seed, not that I expect any children to be very different from their parent.

ReplyDeleteHvor er den smuk.
ReplyDeleteTak for kigget.
Julie, I was excited! I still check on it every day. It's really fuzzy and a great colour!
ReplyDeleteLandbohaven, thanks for your comment--I think it's beautiful too!
Saw your comment on plantgasm and have been checking out your blog. Do you have any other Stapelias? Are you interested in trading cuttings?
