Thanks Tony. I hadn't seen that article. I wonder what happened to the polyphylla /plicatilis cross.
Anybody else got one in flower?

My understanding is that it does not self pollinate to produce viable seed.
I have a seedling grown form seed of a single plant thas was self pollinated.
True, of all the people having sown some of these seeds, I am the only one with one seedling. So the seeds might be less viable. But it can be done!

Exciting to see this flowering! How old is your plant, Mike?

I'd guess about 12 to 15 years.

See above for age.
It badly needs repotting and I keep putting it off. I need a pot at least 2' across.

So beautiful. I have just repotted mine into larger posts, they looked a little lost in the middle, but six weeks later the leaves are at the edge of the pot! Mine are just starting to turn, I can not wait until they look as glorious as your amazing plant.
