Default Re: A Large Wendtii variety?

Well I did manage to see 3 open flowers in one pot from my tubs outside but it only lasted a day, I went to get a photo the following morning but one had melted, oh well.

Much to my surprise though, a Wendtii flower from my indoor setup that was starting had a twin. That pot is so overgrown I didn't notice that there were 2 flowers in that pot. I could only just see one of the flowers and was waiting until it opened before taking it out for a photo. Typically wendtii flowers twist to the left, here I have one going either way. This plant also has the biggest and highest number of cathapyls of any of my plants. You'll spot them in all 3 photo's if you know what you're looking for.


Seeing as there were 2 I decided to have a go at getting them to seed. I cut a window in both kettles and used a small paint brush in an attempt to pollinate them. No idea if it will work.
