Wild, Indeed, Community Thread

Just getting this started so I can get a url.
I will post more about this in a couple of days.

Happy New Year, 2021!

When a few of your extras that you put into some small pots in a porch decided they wanted to do just as well
1L airpots & coco mix. These are kept on a window sill, the C.rhomboideum is almost touching the ceiling now.

Typical c. rhomboideum growth habit. I had one
in the greenhouse in a #1NC years back that
grew straight up to the roof peak (6') with zero
branching. Finally had to chop it off. Still pro-
duced a five or six foot tall plant.

CGN 22795 c. praetermissum, white flower, has begun flowering in earnest.

A fair number of little berries forming.

PI 260567 (C.baccatum var. baccatum)
Flower photo from last month, pod from today

 

[ChilliCrosser]

A ripe pod from Purple Flowered Baccatum yesterday, accompanying flower picture from a month or so ago.

A few good seeds but most of them are dodgy, to be expected with an interspecific like this I guess.

The CAP 500 still throwing them out

C.tovarii almost ready

 

[CaneDog]

Great looking flowers on the CAP 500, CC. None of my Eximium has shown signs of flowering yet.

I did get my first set on an OW Tovarii, though. Growth and flowering on the two OW Tovarii have been modest so far, but it's finally supposed to get warm and sunny here this weekend so I'm hoping that wakes them up and gets them going.

I'm just happy I've got at least one tovarii to the flowering stage this year, not loaded with buds yet but I'll take anything :-)

Too windy outside to get good pictures today so these will have to do. C.tovarii opening

And just for fun, F1 seeds for C.rabenii x C.flexuosum, yeah no chance!

First flower open on CAP 1530 (C.eximium) x USDA Cardenasii F3 #notmycross

Love the chubby teeth on the calyx! Gorgeous flower.

Some different lighting outside today is helping the colours pop, phone camera struggles with purples as light changes.

C.tovarii starting to curl back its petals

CGN 20497 getting ready to open up shop

Biggest of my C.lanceolatum plants just got its first bud

 

[rghm1u20]

First flowers on a plant, the seeds were labeled as C. Rhomboideum. But the flowers are not matching... So, I need an ID, if possible (if any moderator thinks this should be moved to ID topic, no problem - I have posted here because is about wilds).
The coin is the same size as 1 euro coin.

 

[rghm1u20]

Here the plant compared with another Rhombo which look closer to real deal. First picture is "the other" Rhombo, second picture both of them.

 

[CraftyFox]

Uvalde still not flowering here.. I'm not sure the big one is sold on the air pot. I'm still looking at over a 100 transplant to do, so it'll have a little time yet before I make a decision. The cutting is doing great, and I took a couple more when I potted it up.

All the wild bird baccatum seem to be bouncing back after the liquid culling event I had. Really happy the A and C pulled thru. The B's actually seems to be thriving from it.

Just a little update..

 

[ChilliCrosser]

CGN 20497 now flowering outside

 

[ChilliCrosser]

C.eximium x C.cardenasii #notmycross

 

[ChilliCrosser]

Should have my first C.lanceolatum flower this week

 

[PaulG]

Your wilds are really rollin', CC.
Thanks for all the great posts on this thread.
