Re: Yavia cryptocarpa

Seems to be quite a rare species in Europe as a whole. Succseed have occasionally had seeds and plants in stock, although last time Mats was selling seeds they sold out within a few hours. :shock: ADBLPS have also listed seeds for sale, but they probably sell out very fast as well. Grafted plants can be found on eBay fairly often, but they have a tendency to be fussy on a graft, assuming they're grafted properly. I have a small plant on it's own roots, but it doesn't seem to want to grow very much. :razz:

I am sure if you order within a day you can get the seeds. Note the 'Updated seed lists' thread that will be updated by those kind people that refresh their browser every five minutes during the days they expect a new seed list will be published.

Some of my Yavia, own root. I crow them from seed, but they crow very, very slowly.
I sold all my grafted one (to the Czechs :mrgreen: ), the grafted one are ugly.

Hello All,

Hope everyone is well, I still drop by from time to time ! ;-)

Just thought I'd share this one as it has me pretty chuffed. 7 years from seed and on its own roots. First flowering for me!

Regards,

Trevor

Thanks for dropping by again, Trevor, you have every right to be chuffed! It clearly likes the climate down under.
