BILINGA today.

Nice! It looks to have good substance.

Yes, it has thick substance, and beside polys, it throws up sculpted cristate petals often. I have just managed to get my first pod on it after trying for several years. The pollen is much better but it, too, can be a pain. I had trouble growing it for a long time but now it thinks it is ravaging octopus.

It surely has been showing off this year.

Sorry I didn't notice this poly on the first rebloom for RETRO AFTERNOON till that night. I was chasing swift moths again. No luck as normal.


BILINGA had another poly that day too.

One of my seedlings polying. Tiffany Gold X Thin Man #TT2016,8,4



And another from Bilinga.

I like your seedling Gleni. Boy! That Bilinga is something! I wonder if we can get it here?

This might be a possible source, but it seems availability is often sketchy.

Edited to add: Bummer. They're closed until at least May due to health reasons. I'll put it in as a request on the Auction to see if it comes up there.

@Gleni, What % of poly blooms are you seeing on Belinga? Has it been consistently throwing poly blooms for you in other years?

Leslie, it is a regular poly bloomer all season. I should have counted them in the past but I haven't through familarity. It is a difficult pod parent and a pain as a pollen one.

Good to know Glen. Thanks!

DALRIADA threw a poly as its penultimate bloom of the season.


Added. I think I accidentally posted a normal bloom above and deleted the poly.

Apologies. This is what Dalriada looks as a poly.

Wow! That's some poly!

Glen you know you posted a killer photo of a poly bloom when Leslie get EXCITED !

Literally Laughed Out Loud!

That is a stunning poly!

Thank you. This was a poly SKINWALKER before a 2.5 inch deluge hit today. It dissolved during that.

Amazing Glen !

Wow Glen - awesome!!!
