Papilio X Minerva; Papilio X Red Lion seed trade
Comments (5)Hi Chara, No, It's not h. papilio, but it's the next best thing..truthfully, I'm not sure which cybister it actually is (the experts will clarify that) but my question is which plant was the seedpod parent..the plant pictured above, and Red Lion and Minerva donated their pollens?? Unfortunately, I don't have any seed at the moment since we're just starting our blooming season up North..but if you have a FEW seeds of the cybister x Red Lion (assuming the seedpod came from the cybister) and you'll take a rain-check I'm interested...In a few months most of us.. myself included.. will be looking for people to take our seeds..Thanks, Donna...See MoreMy X-Mas Papilios, And A Surprise.....
Comments (5)You cant tell to much from my pics.,sorry, except the size of the Papilio flower scape. And that the bulbs are big. I forgot the Lemon Sorbet bulb. I just planted the lemon Sorbet, and the Papilios, the one that has the bulblets and the BIG bulb under the one scale, turns out it has leaves wrapped part way around the bulb. I peeled off the brown paper layer over the big bulblet,and found 2 leaves on the bulb! So it is going to put out a second bulb pretty soon. I planted them only like 10% deep,the rest above the soil. Since it was splitting the scales, I figured I would keep them all planted as shallow as the rest. Where the 'split' shows on the bulb,is where the big bulb is under the scale on the bigger of the 2 Papilios. It is so big, it is splitting the scales. And yet 2 it also has bulblets on the basal root top. THANK YOU DONNA!!! For posting these. I will have pretty red Lions open in a few days. They are nice and red now, just have to get bigger and open. I might actually have amaryllis for Christmas!! Instead of like a month after or before....See MoreAnd one more Cybister...

Comments (102)It is imho fair to say that the number of ovules was approximately the same in each floret and in the ovary thereof, respectively. However, The [fraction of] ovule[s] developing into a seed is a multicausal event. We can merely speculate: Had the smaller seed pod developed after a "too soon" or "too late" pollination, and had the pollen of H.aulicum less quality? And HOW did the pollen of H.aulicum have less quality?...See More
