I've tried several times to come up with something meaningful or clever to say about these photos. This might be unnecessary: they say that a picture is worth a thousand words, after all. I always feel obligated to add a thousand words too, though,
just to be sure. (Sure of
what? I don't know.) In this particular case, though, words have failed. So I give you two NOIDs (including the just-purchased yellow one) and
Schlumbergera 'Caribbean Dancer.'
(Oh! I did think of one thing to tell you! I made a point of trying to cross-pollinate some of the flowers, and I think I might have had a couple work out. The female parent in both cases was 'Caribbean Dancer;' I've tried using both the salmon and yellow plants as male parents, so if I get seeds out of it, I won't know where they came from, exactly. But oh well.)
I'd love to hear how the pollination turns out. I've tried it before but not with much success.
ReplyDeleteHi, really beautiful pictures.. i loved it :)
ReplyDeleteYay! Mr. S is becoming a breeder! (A plant breeder, I mean, not the other kind...)
ReplyDeleteI was just wishing to know the name of my newly bought beautiful little plant with only one yesterday-opened flower. I like very much the shape structure of the plant.

ReplyDeleteWell, it's a Schlumbergera, but beyond that it's hard to say -- there are so many varieties that it's impossible to identify a variety from photos alone.
