First Flowering

I have been growing a Denmoza Rhodacantha for quite a few years now.
It was raised,by Graham Charles, from habitat collected seed.
Well, at long last, it has decided to flower. One of those events that makes your day, despite the rotten weather.

Impressive. It's quite slow in my experience.

Hi Ralph
I've just checked my records. It is GC201.01, acquired June 2004. That must make it about 20 years old.

It makes you realise just how old the mature specimens in habitat must be to have reached over 2 metres and more.

I grew mine from seed in 2011, and it's a long way from that size.
