I guess we are seven days into March so someone has to start a new month. My imperialis has gone insane right now. I have counted 68 buds currently on the plant. Here are a couple of photos from this morning. Here is hellwigiana also from this morning: http://vermonthoyas.com Quote | Post #955922 (1)

Haven't had any seed pods recently...except Eriostemmas! Actually have dug up about 5 seedlings I have found and am going to grow them out...the one volunteer that bloomed is such a winner!!!!! Leap. The net will appear. Quote | Post #955989 (6)

It was well worth the effort you put in Cindy, its lovely My australis ssp australis took about 4 years to bloom. It's huge, and in the tiniest pot for it's size. I hardly water mine over winter, its left very dry and neglected. Quote | Post #956167 (15)

Lovely bloom Cindy! It has such a unique coloration - really, really nice Doug http://vermonthoyas.com Quote | Post #956173 (16)

Good job growing it Cindy. Flower looks a bit different than 2 australis I have. May be because it had hard time growing. Weather makes a difference since australis grows well here. They smell real good. I sniffed at mine several times daily. Quote | Post #956185 (17)

That is really pretty Cindy...love the pink/red tips too! Very cool! Quote | Post #956198 (18)

Thanks everyone. Julie It took 5 years to see a flower but its still not much bigger than when I got it. Quote | Post #956208 (19)

Cindy...where did you get that H. australis? I am really curious...and so is Ted Green who has never seen red on the tips of the corolla either. Was it David Liddle or a private trade? It may be a seedling...really interesting. I would love to track it down and congratulate the original owner.... Leap. The net will appear. Quote | Post #956317 (20)
