Just a young Didi

Post by Rogan »

I always feel proud when a young plant produces its first flower! Didimaotus lapidiformis:

Hi Rogan,

How marvelous to have grown that from seed and then to get it to flower. They are no trouble to germinate in the UK but keeping them to maturity is the very devil - our lack of good and reliable sunlight is probably to blame.

May we have a pick of it when the flower is out?

Best wishes,

Suzanne

Is there also a second one coming on the other side of the plant, by any chance?
