Another one for the wish list!

Terrific flower, Mike! It looks very similar to H zebrina…

Is this one of your seed-grown plants then, Eric? If so, how long did it take for it to flower?

Unfortunately I don't have a name for this Gymno - the collection number is incomplete. A rather long flower, though, with a strong metallic sheen to it.

Great plant, Aiko!

Thanks, Mat - I shall keep my eyes peeled at events! You will want to to grow it to a much larger size before even contemplating taking cuttings, for sure...

Maybe that's just as well given its self-pruning tendencies...

Be sure to give them lots of fresh air, as too much heat seems to have led to the sudden demise of two of my plants. Out of curiosity, what was the source of your new plant? I am looking for replacements, particularly the inermis form, but can only find them on the continent.

I agree, they are lovely, nice old plant too! Just adding another couple of favourites. I'll say that for a large part Gymnos are not top-shelf plants for me. G. damsii and others from that section in particular like the heat, but (coming from the Chaco forests) seem to prefer some shade. 5299899817...

That's very nice - though a plant you don't want to come too close to....
