hotdiggetydam,

Elizabeth

Thanks Elizabeth I like her..when I first spotted the mom in the huge neo shadehouse at Tropiflora 2005 she looked blue and in cool weather the cup is more blue than lavender

Incredible.

HDD, you know I like the blue and I can see why you'd want to cross to it, but you do know the seedlings will probably be albino, right? Unless the variegation on your plant is different from the one in the first pic.

I am attempting to contact RL to ask a few questions...and if they are albino no big deal...I couldnt resist trying it

Lisa,
So what makes you say seedlings would be albino?

Great photography hdd,that 2nd pics flower detail is so perfect,it seems real on my new 17" monitor screen.
Beautiful!
bob

thanks Bob I got that shot on the first try

Yeah, I was just thinking that shows the stamens really well.

minibim: albomarginated broms produce albino seedlings about 99% of the time. I don't understand it completely, but it seems the layer of cells that form the leaf margins and the layer of cells that form the ovaries and seeds all arise from the same place. A mediopicta-type variegate (green margins, white stripe down the center) will produce normal unvariegated seedlings.

Just one of those little things you figure out after losing pot after pot of seedlings with no chlorophyll, but if other people still want to try it and find out for themselves, then that's their prerogative. I am occasionally wrong......... ;-)

Beautiful HDD!!!

So, if you are in the 4th generation allready, you must have quite a number of offspring allready! When can we expect it to be on Michaels list? I am aslo waiting in anticipation to hear about your seedlings! Japie

Not being overly fond of varigated plants, I LIKE IT!!! Very nice, it looks like it has concentrica in it.

I see a new picture on FCBS . . .

Gee, and it only took 5 months!!!!

*rolling eyes*

I'm new to this Forum so I have an obvious question. How do you view these pictures? I click the link, it takes me to Photobucket (with whom I'm registered), but then what? Thanx.

Gary

Gary, this posting was started back in June. The photos have since been removed, so none of us can see them now. It took that long to get these posted on FCBS:
