Fantastic plants, BTW! My same schill is in spike now-- two in fact, and she's branching heavily. Would be great if she grew up to look like yours!

thanks.

hmmm interesting 9 to 11AM... I'm in the office during that time so maybe I just don't smell her when she's trying to lure her pollinators.

it should give you basal keiki during the growing season in a warm area.

It is fragrant!!!! Yehey!!

I was watering this morning and I noticed a perfume like smell so I check her out and she is indeed fragrant! She's now starting to transmit signals to her pollinators.

Those flowers are beautiful! I bought a mounted mottled-leaf schilleriana last week on eBay, but it's not blooming size yet. After seeing yours, I'm really anxious for it to become blooming size.

Ang laki ng bulaklak ay 8.9 cm lang at 17 lang ang dami dahil ang mga 4N ay karaniwang mas mabagal lumaki. Ang ibig sabihin ng 4N ay ito ay isang polyploid, dumoble ang dami ng cells ng halaman. Kalyat mas malaki. Sa karaniwan, ang dami ng cells ng ordinaryong halaman ay 2N lang.

Wonderful photograph Ramon! I can see almost every fine detail on this bloom. It looks to my untrained eye to be near perfect! AL

So they just stick the plant in a clay pot and let it grow?

[Zildjian]

Yes. The clay pot is also hanging sideways so that water won't settle in the crown.
