I haven't noticed any articulate scales in hybrids, either.I'm not knowledgeable about lilies and have nothing useful to contribute to the discussion, but as a lily novice may I ask what is meant by the term "articulate scales"? I asked a friend who is a lily breeder and he didn't know either (but did kindly explain another term of lily scale morphology I didn't know, "jointed scales").
Quote from: Robert_Parks on May 30, 2022, 06:50:38 AMMy Sauromatums may have gotten pollinated this year, as the flowers are only lasting a few days (last year they remained for weeks!) we'll see. The only other aroid that sets seed is Zantedeschia aethiopica (various forms).I noticed tips of Sauromatum just above the soil while taking the Dracunculus pictures so they'll be flowering soon here.

The one that is, and a real nuisance here is Ornithogalum umbellatum.
Ornithogalum umbellatum (Star of Bethlehem).
Muscari armeniacum
Wild onion
No matter how much you dig up the clumps you always miss some
Quote from: Rdevries on May 12, 2022, 08:39:08 AMIn Last years discussion someone stated that leaf cutting do not work on Ledebouria. You should test this!Interesting. I was one of those last year asking about propagating Ledebouria from leaf cuttings. I have several L. zebrina I'd like to propagate, and none has ever made an offset. I tried several cuttings from each of them last year, taken after flowering but well before any signs of leaf senescence. Total failure. But I'll try again this year, with younger leaves.
Now is the time to take resnova leaf cuttings.
Quote from: David Pilling on May 03, 2022, 07:02:43 AMI've found a possible extension for the forum, in the docs it says:Hi David,
Actual state:
User will get notified of new posts if subscribed to the corresponding topic.
User will get notified of new topics if subscribed to the corresponding board.
Target state:
User will get notified of new posts if subscribed to the corresponding topic.
User will get notified of new topics and new posts if subscribed to the corresponding board.
Points being, it thinks the starting state is different to what was described previously, and would the result of adding it be more palatable.
Quote from: David Pilling on April 29, 2022, 04:23:58 PMI spent a long time trying to follow the SRGC forum using email notifications - the fact that one only gets one notification per topic is not a surprise. I am more surprised about the described airy fairy nature of notifications per board - I wonder what actually happens.I'll take this as meaning you also have frustrations with the way forums in general, and apparently this one in specific, work. Though I'm not a fan of forums for many reasons, I'm trying to make this one work decently for me.
But whatever, this is the software we are using. PBS knew about the limitations from the start.
I get the impression there is little enthusiasm for email notifications from forum software authors. If you're going to send out emails for everything, you might as well have a mail list. We have talked about the problems of emails - bounces, spam blocks etc.
