Bulb. lobbii 'Highjack' CCE/AOS

[Brooke]

It only blooms from new ones but it produces two inflorescenses per pbulb. It also usually produces two new pbulbs from each of the old pbulbs.

It is a prolific grower.

Really good exciting!

Amazing, i have a lobbii too but it has a long way to go.

Do you have it growing in a base of limestone mixed with sphag?

[Brooke]

The white in the bottom of the basket are styrofoam peanuts. Most bulbos have very shallow root systems so for the deep baskets I put p'nuts in the bottom and then add the media. I use a CHC mix for almost all of my bulbos.

O My God !!!!! that's incredible, I have lobbii but it has never bloomed, excuse my ignorance, but was is a CHC mixture?

[Brooke]

Thanks glad you like it. If yours hasn't bloomed, increase the light. I grow mine in catt light.

CHC is coconut chunks, sponge rock and diatomite mixed together.

WOW I'm in awe.
My bulbo 'Jersey' is only a baby (4 little pbulbs and counting) I can't wait for her to look like that! (except I know that waiting is the whole point with 'chids... )
Where do you grow your bulbos?

[LauraN]

Brooke your plant is phenomenal!
You should be so proud!

[Brooke]

Kaykay I grow in a g/h. I just picked up a Jersey myself this week-end, a 4 pbulb one too. If it takes after the lobbii parent, it will be a fast multiplier. We will keep our fingers crossed!

Brooke, a beautifully grown & lovely plant. A well-deserved CCE. I would have objected if they gave it just a CCM!
