Sorry to say this but I can't see the pics clearly to help... :unsure:

Re: N. campanulata flowering
 

Yeah can't see the picture clearly enough to help. Have a look at this link. It will show the difference between male and female flowers. Cheers.

Basically a males (bulb thingy) is rounder and the females are more teardrop shape...I got a red dragon flowering too...Not sure what sex is it..Some are teardrop-like some are rounded

Re: N. campanulata flowering
 

thanks a lot for the information, mine is rounded and very tiny, only a few bulb, will wait till the flower to open and reconfirm:smile:

Re: N. campanulata flowering
 

My campa is flowering now and I think it's a female !! *biggrin2*

I want to breed pure campanulata so anyone got campanulata pollen pls let me know. If successful in collecting seeds, we'll split 50 / 50, thanks. :smile:

Re: N. campanulata flowering
 

nice, what a coincident, if mine happens to be a male, I'm interested with the deal, how long does it take for the flower to open? mine have been around for about a week without the "opening ceremony"

do u have a picture of your flower so that I can do some simple comparison? thanks

Re: N. campanulata flowering
 

ha ha ha....i got no campanulata but want to be in queue for the seedlings....*biggrin2*

Re: N. campanulata flowering
 

I think my campa flower will be opening this week. Timing is very tight... :unsure: I'll take a pic tomorrow to show you, C Way.

Kevyn,
Seed grown campa.... I think it's very rare !!! *biggrin2* Most campa on the market are TC plants. I hope everything will go according to plan and manage to harvest viable seeds from this breeding. :smile:

Re: N. campanulata flowering
 

Thanks a lot, what is the average timing for the flower to blossom after the bulb grows out? mine has been around 1 week plus but not opening

Re: N. campanulata flowering
 

Hard to say, need to look at the latest pics. Please take a clearer shot so I can see better to estimate. Thanks.

Re: N. campanulata flowering
 

I just found out that most campa on the market were females... :crying:

C way, now we really need to take a closer look at your campa flower, if it's a female then I'll need to look for the pollen else where. :smile:

Re: N. campanulata flowering
 

fingers crossed...hope to be a successful one....!!!:tongue:

I can conclude that my campanulata flower happens to be a male one:smile::smile::smile:, when and how can I collect the pollen? Thanks

At the moment, only 1 flower opened, the rest are about to open up in another week or so:smile::smile::smile:

Re: N. campanulata flowering
 

hmm....who got female suitor....?

Re: N. campanulata flowering
 

when the male flowers open up, and usually the next day the yellowish thingy become powdery it was time to collect by tappping over a piece of paper ( preferably waxy paper ). or cut it , place on a piece of waxy paper and scrap the pollens. keep and save in the fridge.

Re: N. campanulata flowering
 

thanks for all the advice, after the flower open for a week, i didn't see any pollen from the first flower...luckily the rest have yet to open up:smile:

any one with female nep flower in malaysia who are interested in campanulata pollen?
