Hi All,
I wonder if one of you has A.polyphylla flowering and would like to exchange pollen. We have one of David Kirkbright's which has been outside unprotected, save for being up against a west facing wall, for the last two winters and it obviously had enough water this winter which is what probably prompted it to flower.
Regards, Suzanne
Aloe polyphylla

Re: Aloe polyphylla
Hi Suzanne,
Mine is still in bud but happy to send you some if it starts flowering in time. My friend's might flower a bit earlier than mine so I can get some from him if mine won't be quick enough.

Re: Aloe polyphylla
Hi Edds,
That sounds good, glad someone else is flowering theirs at the moment. It looks as though yours is about a week away from opening its first flower.. So yes please to the pollen and contact again when available.
Best wishes, Suzanne

Re: Aloe polyphylla
Exciting.
Here's hoping you end up with a spare capsule or 2 that can be donated to the BCSS seed list

Re: Aloe polyphylla
Hi Edds,
I see you are thinking of sending buds, but unless they have opened and the polle on the anthers has matured buds will be no good I think.
