Hello I grow lots of Bomarea species . Looks more like a nutrition issue. Fertilize them and see if the markings remain.

I will see if I can improve handling of these. I suspect the problem is putting images inline rather than going the old fashioned route and attaching them.

Growth of the seedlings was slow and limited to half a dozen creamy leaves. I kept watering the pot over our Summer and it went dormant in February this year. When I tipped out the pot there were 3 marble sized tubers which I replanted in a bigger pot. The first shoots came through in late June. I’ve attached a photo that shows the current growth which is certainly a lot more than last year’s. I am wondering though if the variegation is normal - I have a Bomarea edulis plant in the garden, now just coming back into growth, and its leaves are the normal green you see in Internet pictures. At this point I’m wondering about the future viability of this plant. > > Kind regards, > Susan Clark (Hibiscus Coast, Zone 10b, New Zealand) > > ================================================================== > > > > -- > David Pilling > http://www.davidpilling.com/ > -------------- next part -------------- > A non-text attachment was scrubbed... > Name: IMG_1662.jpg > Type: image/jpeg > Size: 1159566 bytes > Desc: not available > URL: <http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/pipermail/pbs/…> > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
