I gotcha !!!

20 years ago

Hi folk, since last month, my Dyckia marnier-lapostollei have flowered. But as some specialist said, this species seems to be a self-sterile, and need another blooming plant to pollinate.

Luckily, there are about 6 plants flower in the same time, but I found that only the plant which its inflorescense was crawled by the ant will set seeds better.

Nice blooms Stephania and really good close ups. I could see every part of the buds!

So I guess the ant is taking the role of bees, alas we have found a reason for the ants!

ANTS ? does someone need ants? ...Last week,while taking some photos for GW,I found that some red ants were taking over my yard and bromeliads.I guess it was the time of year that the flying females leave to establish new nests.It only lasts for one day tho. So,Stephania,put in your order now for next year delivery.A 'must have' for all plant breeders. ;-)
