Bud watch: Disa atricapilla

[tnyr5]

Keep your fingers crossed. In low bud about 14 months from sowing the seed.

 

[TyroneGenade]

Wow. Where did you get the seed from?

 

[tnyr5]

A friend imported the seed & sent some to me for flasking. I did it for free on the condition I could keep one.

 

[TyroneGenade]

You are most fortunate. Good luck! And if you can get seed from it I would be keen on a flask.

Good luck!

Meh. At this point, I do what I do. If it lives, fine; if it dies, fine.

Harsh realm!

Sink or swim, I ain't no helicopter parent.

The buds are turning black

I’m excited to see this one.

Good growing

 

[tnyr5]

It's heeeeerrreeeeee

 

[TyroneGenade]

Yes, of course, first bloom is upside down...

 

[tnyr5]

It's... supposed to be. Don't be so judgemental!

 

[TyroneGenade]

For those not in the know, the flowers appear as a horizontal rosettes. The flower isn't upside down.

Love this Disa and was lucky enough to see it flowering in the wild - years ago, I hope they are still there...
