L.grandis in semi-hydro
This is a first for me. I have previously killed two of these plants
bought different years at Redlands, dessicated with few if any roots at time of purchase. I hoped against hope that the near-dead plants would survive. This plant was purchased last year as a division which had been growing in semi-hydro for a while (and still is). It had two green sheaths on it and I watched eagerly as they slowly browned and dried up, while the plant sent up numerous new growths. This winter/spring I have anxiously followed its progress, from the appearance of new sheaths. Now I have eight flowers on four inflorescences (1-2-2-3) which wouldn't have happened without the GH. I'll post a close-up next. |
