Before I left for my vacation, I managed to snap a few photos, and this is one thing that’s waiting for me when I get back to the Bay Area. Yesterday (the day I left) this flower finally opened up. I probably won’t be using it as a pod parent, but I hope to harvest some pollen when I get back. Here’s the first flower of the season for me. Ah… let the crossings begin.
[S. (flava v. ornata x flava v. rugelii) x mitchelliana]
On a side note — I would be sharing more photos with you from here, but… uh… turns out I forgot my cable to connect my camera to the laptop, so I’ll share photos with you when I get back. I really do love it up here in the Emerald City… I know it rains quite a bit, but – that just means less for me to water when/if I ever do move up here. 🙂
