Fascinating picture. Can't think of an other white seeds except Navy beans ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken" <kjblack@pacbell.net> To: <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 1:06 PM Subject: [pbs] Boophone disticha X Amarygia seed? Several of the fruits on one of my Boophone disticha, on which I used 2-yr old frozen/saved pollen from a 2008 white X Amarygia bloom, have begun to split, revealing white/opalescent seeds. In the past, I've only seen Boophone disticha seeds that are green or greenish-yellow. I am speculating that this may be an indication of a potentially successful cross. Of course, growing these on to bloom will provide better indication of such. While this inflorescence/infructescence is the same age as those of its neighboring 2 bulbs, its fruit seems to have developed more quickly than the others, on which I used Boophone disticha pollen. I don't think these are quite 'ready' yet as the fruit skin has not turned papery yet, as is usually the case with Boophone. http://www.flickr.com/photos/amarguy/4879809686/ Ken San Diego _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
