Interesting Stuff Continued or Sinningia Tubers, and 'Prudence Risley"

 On November 27th, 2010 the post for that day was showing the progress of some of the Sinningias and other things that were being propagated.

You will note the tuber and the roots forming on this Sinningia.

 Here is another Sinningia that is doing something just a bit different than the first. It's putting out some leaves as well as roots. I think that there is a tuber forming but it's smaller than the tuber in the first photo.

Now this is a tuber being formed! Here is 'Playful Porpoise' making a rather large and robust tuber after only 32 days in a small starter pot filled with perlite and vermiculite. It's been watered with a urea-free orchid fertilizer periodically also.

And lest we haven't praised the Sinningia 'Prudence Risley' enough, it decided to BLOOM in it's starter pot, while forming the tuber you can see at the base (surrounded by the new and rather extensive root system.)


Any comments to share with the gang today???
