Lion King in bloom (cirrhopetalum)

[Grandma M]

When I first got it I didn't know if it was finished blooming , and on it's way out, or just starting to bloom. I had never seen a bulbo in real life. I was pleasantly surprised.

I tried to get a shot from the bottom up. After many, many tries....in very awkward positions, I fail to get one worth saving. I did learn one thing, I have a lot of respect for others who get such great photos. I could never make a living being a photographer. I will have to be content just growing them instead.

That's a cool bulbo cross. Do you know what the parents are?

 

[Heather]

That is VERY cool. I am a big fan of medusae also.

I believe longissimum is one of the parents.
I was wrong medusae x masteranum.

 

[Marco]

very nice!

That is quite nice. But I can't picture getting pollen from a medusae, or using it as a pod parent. Although the flower cluster is fairly big, the pollen must be tiny!
