but the shoots that appear from the on the basal turn black...still not sure what happen to it...
bad news, the new puppy in my house get interested in the pitcher and bite it, all pitcher is either just left a bit or entirely pulled out, had punnished it by keep hitting it until my fingers so pain, so hate it!! why it just do not listen even though i already warned it for more than 9times.....:crying::crying:
Got one left, the damaged one had put it in a plastic...hope will be recovering soon...:unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure::unsure::un sure:

Nice neps Kenneth, glad to see they're doing well.

You flower could be a female but can't be 100% sure as there's only so little details available via pic and at the current stage (still early). I think after another ~7 days, should be able to tell for sure what gender it is.

Well its not yet opening any time soon cos the petals are all still very tight and the spaces between them are still short..But i think that mirabilis merah would be nice.

Out of curiosity, how do you store the pollen and how long can it be stored.

I collected the pollen and store then in folded wax paper packet. Then stored them in a air tight plastic container in the fridge. If you keep everything dry, the pollen will at least last for 6-9 months.

Just inform me when your female flower is ready. Thanks. :smile:
