Tavaresia barklyi
Really chuffed this morning as my plant opened one of its flowers this morning. Grew this plant from seed in July 2014. The seed came from the Asclepiad Society:-
Unfortunately I couldn't get a really good picture of the flower.Sylvia in Somerset growing cacti and succulents since 1977

Re: Tavaresia barklyi
Lovely plant & lovely long trumpets, its a plant I grow but every time I get it to a decent size, say 5" pot. It rots/ dies and I have to start again from cuttings

This is in a 4 1/4 pot Tina. I have grown one in a 5 1/2" pot so hope this will go on growing.

Re: Tavaresia barklyi
My earlier reply seems not to have posted. Well done, Sylvia! It's so nice to get these into flower, you must be well chuffed!

Well done Sylvia!
Like Tina, I can get it to a 4" pot and then we part company...
I have 2 seedlings from this year's sowing.

Re: Tavaresia barklyi
Wow, quick work! I sowed T. grandiflora this year, and it's already 2" high, sprouting 2 arms, and recognisable. But you must have been feeding yours rocket fuel...
