Interesting, I thought most people used the winter leaves ,I use the winter leaves but you have good success with the summer leaves otherwise you wouldn't do it

I've read sources that recommended the taking of the winter leaves, but i've found that a strong summer leaf has more meat on its bones, and will provide enough energy and nutrition to the developing plantlets, for propagating success.

This bulb will later be making long slender leaves with those curlicued leaf tips. But for now, there is a flower to erect. dvg

For a while there, I wasn't sure what this clone was trying to do, whether it was unfurling its new leaves of unveiling it's first flower ever. The process looked painful, but it turned out it was both unfurling and unveiling. And with this flower looking so white in color, i very strongly suspect that this clone is actually the reverse cross - P. heterophylla x moranensis. I had thrown a few of the reverse cross seeds in with the other larger seed batch, and figured i'd be able to tell the difference by the leaves and flowers. All of the other clone's flowers that are either flowering now or showing flower buds, are purple in color, like the moranensis parent's flowers, and none of the other clones sport long, slender summer leaves like this one does. dvg

Fred, all of the mexi-pings are grown in the basement under old school 4 foot shop lights. The shoplights, that this group are growing under, have two t12 fluorescent tubes apiece, 6500k coloring. The lights help, but the real coloring most likely came from the colorful seed grown moranensis mother plants used to make this cross. ocps.proboards.com/thread/5870/moranensis-rosei-red-rosettesdvg
