Triple Purple Dat

17 years ago

OK well, I posted in another thread a pic of a purple dat, right? Well, it finally started to open last night..went out real early this morn, took some more pix..go out at lunch time, and the WHOLE flower was 3' away from the plant! POO! I tried to put it in a bud vase, but no good. I dont know what the heck happened..anyway, it turned out to be a BIG triple! Would have been nice if it has stayed on the plant...

D,

I got my mail today....received a bunch of seeds I got from ebay, 960 microtubes & stands for pollen collection...but I was very upset NOT to find any cutting of this SPECTACULAR Dat., I've never grown one and this would be an awesome choice to start...I expect you to go out first thing tomorrow morning...purchase some dry ice...cut that bloom and cut some clippings (I micropropergate too...)...then overnight them to me..U got my addy - no excuses!!!!

Oh ya, BTW - Stunningly beautiful - just like its owner!!!!

I love the triple purples. They and the single whites seem to be the only kind I can grow.

OOOOOOOOH, that is really nice! Love how it opens up!
None of mine look like that! Altho I have a triple cream due to bloom soon, maybe that will look this nice!
