Byblis in bloom!
« Thread Started on Dec 26, 2007, 3:51pm »
My Byblis lamellata is blooming!! Too bad it ain't self-fertile...



I like these guys because they're larger than their popular 'cousin' B. liniflora:

NIce...this is a diff variety from the byblis some us have here.....yours has bigger flowers for one thing. And longer, more densely packed leaves....how come it doesn`t produce seed easily or doesn`t self pollinate ?

Hi Tarence, it doesn't produce seed easily because it is not self-fertile. That means that I need the pollen from another flowering plant to pollinate it.
