Thank you for brightening the day.

I like how peach Exotica is. All the flowers are very beautiful to look at! I take it that Gervase just doesn't like pollen at all?

Donna,

Santiago has a wonderful scent, no mustiness to me, I wonder if it's because it's stressed?

These are all really lovely, and are really fun to see, Donna, thanks so much for posting them. I've definitely got to me some of those, LOL. You're obviously keeping them very happy if you're getting them to re-bloom for you. Great job with the plants, and the pics, as usual.

Take care and thanks again for sharing these!

Thanks Donna, simply wonderful, both flowers and photos, I really enjoyed looking!

Both crosses, with 'Exotic Star' and 'Exotica', are very exciting.

Hi, just replacing Santiago which got bumped by the wrong picture once again, I wish I know how to stop this..sometimes Picasa really annoys me...when I upload a picture to an album sometimes it throws the picture in the middle of the album and not at the end where it should be, and then it messes up the pictures...

Use Flickr, much better :)

Donna you have an awesome collection. There are all very beautiful. I really like exotica. That one goes on my list for next season.

Hi Jessiann
I personally.. have found Exotica to be a very rewarding plant to grow. I bought a bulb 3 years ago and the Narcissis Bulb Fly ate it! It had one offset and I grew it on for another year with no flowers and, this year the still small golf ball size offset produced two scapes both with just 2 flowers each but they were lovely. I had great success pollenating with my original bulb and the same luck with this offset. Exotica grows wonderful seedpods and the resulting seedling have so far been very vigirous. By all means add Exotica to your collection another year, you won't be sorry! And, not to mention the beauty of the flower..these flowers were a bit paler than the mother bulb but none the less beautiful...

Donna
