aulicum from Telos Rare Bulbs

12 years ago

Hi,

Here is my h. aulicum from Telos Rare Bulbs that came just a few weeks ago. After I got my buggy bulb from Komoriya I felt I just had to have a good blooming one. Luckily I got one!

{{gwi:431194}}

{{gwi:431196}}

{{gwi:431197}}

{{gwi:431198}}

It appears to be a little different in appearance (sans the bugs) than the Komoriya bulb..being a lighter orange and the veining shows up more. Also in the throat there are slight markings where as the throat of the Komoriya one is solid green. Maybe it's just the conditions and they are the same variety but I don't know much about the different varieties.

Here you can see the difference in the color and possibly the throat.

If they were both healthy then I don't know which one I would like better! I think I may have two seedpods on the buggy one...a little early to tell but they are slowly getting larger.

Thanks for looking...Donna

    Well, I have to bore you with just a few more pictures and then I'll stop! I just love this bulb!! The color is a pumpkin orange with a bit of cinnamon added and I love the green stripe on the backs of the petals. This looks like a cybister and with only the two flowers it is lovely..I can hope for 4 the next time around. The fact that this color flower blooms in fall is just perfect!

    and the last, I promise!

    Two of these were taken with flash and 2 without and either way the color comes out as a perfect match. I'm thinking this may be the variety robustum as I've seen several pictures of robustum on the internet with this same pumpkin orange color..any ideas?

    Thanks for looking...,Donna

      Great photos Donna.

      What model camera do you use?

    • 12 years ago

      Alan,

      It's just a Sony cyber -shot; 12.1 mega pixels and I actually have it turned down to 7.1 because the pictures are so large. It takes a better picture when it set on the 12.1. These days the pixels go sky high but just how many do you need for just amateur photography?? I have a couple of them as they are so easy to tote around they are several years old but still sell them on EBay. They use memory cards which you have to buy online these days but I save all my memory cards and have all my pictures saved from when I first went digital, just in case!! This camera doesn't have a very good zoom, I have a different camera which does but don't seem to use it much..

      Thanks,

      Donna

      That is very nice Donna and I agree with Alan that the pics are nicely done too.

    • 12 years ago

      I love the color and the veining!

      It's pretty Donna! They both have their own charm.

      Donna:
      Both very nice. But the veining of the Telos bulb looks more pronounced ie more contrast.

      Here is a tray of seedlings from this aulicum (Telos) x papilio that are just about the only real success I've had this season in the pollinating department. So far I've had a few other seedpods that yielded some viable seeds but they don't seem to be vigorous like these are so I am quite pleased with these!!

      What a beautiful orange color!!!!

    • 12 years ago

      Wow Donna I love it. I just got an aulicum from telos about 2 weeks ago. I hope mine looks like yours when it flowers. Keep me posted on those seedlings. If they do well I might try A Papilio cross when mine fowers.

    • 12 years ago

      Mine bloomed for me at the very end of Oct with the perfect color,just in time for Halloween! It took forever for the seedpods to ripen which I find is usually the case when papilio is in the cross. So that would make it around the middle of December when they ripened so these seedlings are only 4 1/2 months old and they already have their 3rd leaf. I will admit that I germinated these immediately and about 2 months later I did a few more seeds but the seeds that I started initially did much better than the seeds that were a few months old. Those continue to struggle while the first ones are jobbing out. I gave half of the seeds to the generous poster who send me some of her frozen papilio pollen otherwise I wouldn't have been able to make this cross!

      Donna

      You might want to freeze some papilio pollen if you have the opportunity since I believe that aulicum is naturally a fall bloomer.

    • 12 years ago

      Donna,

      My first papilio bulb refused to rebloom so I got a new one this year. It only made two flowers but whatever pollen it made is in the freezer. I was saving some for my Johnsonii. They are planted in the ground so they bloom later than everyone else. I will make sure to save some for October to put on Aulicum.
