Many hybridized plants are sterile. Chromosomal polyploidy (more than the normal two pair) is the reason. Some hybrids do produce seed but they rarely breed true ; their off spring are likely to be inferior. Other hybridized plants may produce very few, very poor quality seeds. Still others seem productive for a few generations. I'm assuming, like so many of the stunning hybrids we drool over, that the " Endless " series plants are sterile, or nearly so.

JoanMary; Let's first see if you can find some locally. George Schenk in his book Moss Gardening talks of going to the park and looking on the paths where runners jog. He and other bonsai enthusiasts referred to it as joggers moss. I cruise old strip malls and look behind them near the power equipment. Old sidwalks have moss in the cracks and edges. Visit friends with shady yards. I spend my early Spring going through woodlands. I live in central Illinois and haev access to much private land. So I thought I had a pretty good collection of the local mosses. I went this past Sunday to my sister's house for Easter. She and her husband built this house a few years ago and I have never been out in the back yard. I immediately found three mosses that I thought were more interesting than anything I had found this Spring. The sidwalk mosses Bryum caespiticium and bryum argentium like concrete and are to be found all USDA zones. For pics go to USDA website. The trouble with pics is that moss have suh a fine texture that pics do not give true sense of the depth and feel. Just like fabric the fine mosses must be experienced to be really appreciated. Let me know what you find. If no luck we'll proceed. I'm pretty sure you in zone 10 have better selection. Look at the arboreteum to see what they have. Selaginella is native to zone 10. If I had it here I would have to take inside in winter. Look at pics on ebay and usda. Rick

They can be very tough plants if you watch your watering. They do not like to be over watered as with most other plants. I use a good fertilizer with a capful of vinegar in a gallon of water and feed at every watering in a very porous mix. It has been consistently flowering for me since December. I let it harden off by slowly introducing it to the outdoors. It sits in at least 6 hours of direct sun. It seems to take temps beautifully when above the 50's and loves humidity. When temps drop below that, it just sits there, sometimes looking very unhappy and sulks. The flowering slows down and leaves will start to bend. I will say this though. The flowers DO NOT like getting hosed off with my faucet water since it is very alkaline. They turn brown the very next day as you can see. When the rains come and wet the flowers, they last forever though. Same holds true for gardenias. Here is a picture of one of mine in constant bloom and yet putting out more buds. Mike:-)

I've read in scientific literature that Brunfelsia uniflora has a sweet fragrance, but never seen it for sale. Looking at the posts it seems I'm not the only one that been sold a different Brunfelsia species to what was ordered. I have three white flowering ones, two of which were labelled jamaicensis. One was sold under the label jamaicensis 'White Magic', which stated in flowered in Autumn (but is flowering in mid Spring) and the next day saw a full grown one called australis 'White Magic' at the Brisbane Botanical Gardens (in Australia) covered in white fragrant flowers. The other one I have labelled as jamaicensis has much longer leaves ( 1"x3.5" long verses 1"x4.5" long). Does anyone know where to look to identify each Brunfelsia species?
