Hi all,

I wanted to share these pictures with you!

Here are some pictures of the flowers from my Cephalotus :
The flowers are really small, around 4 too 5 mm in diameter, but amazing to see!

The following plant that will flower, yes it's growing diagonal :lol: :

Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing with us!!
Do the cephalotus in the next to last image is grown in pure gravel or it is only on the surface?

[maverick]

The gravel is only at the top 2 cm in the pot, underneath is my Sarracenia mix of 50:50 peat:perlite.

Regards,

Laurens

You can see the 6 seeds inside already



Enjoy!

I have two cephs sending up spikes to flower now as well, are they self pollinated? or is it best to cut them off energy wise?

Cheers

They appear to set seed without any help, but you may perhaps increase seed set by going around flowers with a fine paintbrush.

The crowns with flower spikes will die after flowering is complete.
