Too funny!

You do know that you guys drive me to having regular exercise.

Drive to exercise??? Why not walk?

Think I'm tired, I always get silly when I'm really tired.

Your posts always bring a smile...

Makes me feel good to know my silliness brings a smile to you twit.

Sure wish I had more than two ciliosum to share, that would bring a smile to me. : ) This is such a quite thread.
Any one have some ciliosum type semps to share their photos?

I have two pots of ciliosum, but I think they are both the borisii. The one that got blasted has turned all to blooms but the other is OK. Who would have thought that you need to protect your collection from hard objects falling from the sky?

I have ciiliosum and ciliosum borisii. I am so tired right now I can hardly see straight. Think I better go to bed.
See you in the morning. : )

Did you sleep well, Lynn? The early bird etc.

Hey, can you post side by side pics of your two that you listed in the previous post?

valleylynn said:Here are my two ciliosum. They do look very similar but have some differences. Wouldn't want to grow these two side by side. They are growing in the same bed about 2 feet away from each other.

S. ciliosum 'Boresii' 6/10/2011 and S. ciliosum 6/10/2011

Here they are Jacki from a previous post. : )

I see what you mean Lynn - Boresii has more of the little leaves on the stolons, but otherwise very similar. Hmm. And the way they are named is different too (borissii, Boresii)

Oh well.

It really is difficult to know what they will look like when the get used to their new home. We will just have to watch them. : )

I would think the two forms of the name are referring to the same plant. I know that I have probably misspelled it several times.

I would expect S. ciliosum to be different from S. ciliosum "borissii" (spelling notwithstanding). As the attachment of "borissii" indicates it is either a form or variety of S. ciliosum.

but borisii is a recognized subspecies of ciliosum and is noted for its long cilia. I have that one from last year on a trade. I think that Boresii and borisii are just the same form, one with a misspelled name. It wouldn't make sense for someone to name two varieties with names that similar, especially when it is a relatively rare species with limited varieties compared to some of the others.

I agree, everything I have read on this points to what twit says in above quote. Some times it is 'Boresii' or similar spelling, and some times labeled as S. boresii. Sure does get confusing.

I thought we were discussing S. ciliosum vs. S. ciliosum "borissii". Are we discussing Borissii vs. boresii? I'm confused now.

Told you it was confusing. : )

There is S. ciliosum and S. ciliosum 'Boresii' (or S. ciliosum boreseii). http://translate.google.com/tr...

Scary isn't it?
