Eucomis 'montana' ripening seed...

Great photo Motinot.

Never seen one of these before - it's lovely!

Thanks...:>)

Did you see GW this week Moti?

I did Meanie!!....Are you gonna give it a go?...I'm going to try it with E. 'sparkling burgundy', even Carol Klein says it doesn't always work...

Done my "Sparkling Burgundy" already!!!!

Good for you!!....I was reading up on it and it suggested a fresh healthy leaf, early in the season would be best...but im going to try it.....tomorrow...:>)

I picked a good firm one so here goes (or not)!

Lol....:>)

I haven't seen this one before, but its very pretty.

Two and a half weeks and the leaf cuttings are still firm - that must be good news.........
I turned my compost this morning, and on the top of one of the E.bicolors that I cut off when it was done was a bulb forming with a shoot coming out of it! I've potted it up.

Its a beautiful flower Dwyllis..Bet that surprised you Meanie....The leaf cuttings i did are still firm too...heres hoping..:>)

Four of the leaf cuttings have taken, as has the bulbil from the top of the spent flower stalk.

Wow...good one Meanie..How do you know when the leaf cuttings have taken....I slipped one out a while ago and it had three little roots...I slipped it back in again..What should i do now?...:>)

Wait for your cat to send it flying!!!!
I've just put mine back in too.............

lol....Ok, I can wait

I had two of the six go brown, so I figure that if yours are still green then they must be ok..........

Thanks Meanie....Patience is a virtue, as they say.....

How are the cutting doing?
Three of mine have taken. On one alone I have four shoots coming through!

I have 4 cuttings left, though there aren't any shoots appearing above the soil...Im not feeling very hopeful Meanie....I shall leave them another while....

Well, one of the three remaining cuttings looks as dead as a very dead thing, but a fresh new shoot has emerged from its base!

Oh that sounds hopeful Meanie....I wont discard them too soon then..Thank you and wishing you a very happy Christmas and wonderful New Year....:>)

And to you too........
