That's a great flower Ray. Almost daffodil -like in appearance and colour!

Very good!
In my 25+ years of growing C. moelleri I am still waiting for the first flower.
Either I am doing something wrong or I have the wrong clone.
Mind you, I have probably generated 100+ sales plants in that time.

It's curious the two plants flower at the same time even when kept in different parts of the country! It is NPE 5318 - this seems to flower quite reliably once it reaches a certain size.

The synchronicity is amazing. Is there a clock built into the DNA?
I recall a conversation with Brian Fearn at AbbeyBrook. I had a plant I'd purchased from him which lost its label in transit. His comment was simple. Email a picture with date. We can probably identify it from its time of flowering.
