He ain’t no Herc but it caught my eye. There is no label so he must remain nameless. Cheers Steve There is only one Herc, but it's still very nicely patterned and coloured Steve.  dvg |

Finally, the plants outside are starting to flower, the fist was due to be a ‘Goldie’ but for some reason the three flowers bento and died. The fist to flower was a S. cuprea very large x rubricorpora heavily veined then flava maxima and finally ‘Manta Ray’, but the reds and mixed colours are not fear behind. pictured are the cuprea and maxima, I didn’t take any more as to quote Coldplay, ‘they are all yellow’ obviously the petals, style and sepals are different but mostly yellow.  S. cuprea very large x rubricorpora heavily veined  S. Maxima Cheers Steve |

And how about an anthocyanin-free flower, this one being one of a batch of seed-grown S. leucophylla, anthocyanin-free, Bill Scoll X anthocyanin free S. falva Brunswick County    Cheers Steve |

After the yellows and the greens, come the reds. They will take a day or two to open properly then they will start to develop their full colour. it does give you an indication of how much further behind outdoor plants are to greenhouse plants, it’s probably four weeks!  goldie   Cheers Steve  |

Some start off red,  some aspire to redness,  and some have redness thrust upon them.  Chers Steve |

Just some that caught my interest this afternoon   this one has lost its label, I have a reasonable idea of what it is, but like my clothes at infant school, no name in, can’t be sure.  This one similarly has no label, it looks like it wants to be a cuprea, and looks nice that way.  And a simple antho free moorei. Cheers Steve |

Nice lid on this one I will keep an eye on it.  Wonky leuco hybrid, I think it will fill out in a day or so, nice pink though.  The leucos are now making their first pitchers of the season ![]()  Cheers Steve |

This is a seedgrown S. ‘maxima’ x areolata, it has plenty of external veining but they never connect like they can do in flava ornata’s so it retains this, what I find, rather attractive finish all season.  Cheers Steve |

It’s the time of year for the late developers to start their shortish, but welcome show, namely the leucophyla and their hybrids.  This is a seed grown hybrid looking a bit delicate, the colours will firm up in the next few days, and with some sun should harden the pink and red hues.  This is a leucophyla x leucophyla seedgrown cross which will be a nice plant.  And a seed grown, probably a Mitchelliana (or it may have other parantage in there). I like the way the green on the inside of the lid contrasts with the red. cheers Steve |

Some others that caught my eye this morning.  a seedgrown hybrid in one of the bogs, it’s not anthocyanin free but remains green even in the strongest sunlight, I like it’s delicacy.  This is however a true anthocyanin free plant, a seed grown rubra gulfensis hetrophylla X gilpini hetrophylla. It does very little all year, is very slow growing but gets there in autumn.  and a purpurea shoving its head through the binata. ![]()  And of course with all this sun, the reds are showing well, I will try to get some more pictures of some of the reds later Cheers Steve |
