Very nice, Wendy. How big is yours. Mine hasn't bloomed yet and I know they
can get to be huge. Just wanted to know how long I have to wait. Thanks. Gary "Wendy7" wrote in message ... Ansellia africana just opening, taken in late afternoon light. Cheers Wendy |

Well Gary, I haven't actually measured it but it's huge! First it's potted
in a 4gal pot, the pseudo's must be close to 20 inches. Not sure how old it was when I got it in 1995? It bloomed for the first time in 2001. Oh, I also had it in the greenhouse when I first got it. Not sure if putting it outside made it bloom? Also I have seen a variety of a different colour that seemed smaller in stature? Cheers Wendy "v_coerulea" wrote in message . .. Very nice, Wendy.

Gary I grow eight different verieties; four have just finished bloooming, and they are of different stature. My first was about 40" tall when I got it; grown in high light the pbs are seldom more than a foot tall; another I have is a good 20 inches tall (plus leaves) at maturity even in good light. They can bloom when they put out the first mature growth. And they do prefer higher light to bloom; I'm guessing that's why Wendy's bloomed after being moved outside. |
