Thanks Paul
I will try that

I asked for the best time for sowing
because my seeds come from Chile
I thought it was best sowing early autumn
but better to ask

Although it's a little immature I'm quite pleased with this one. Sown late June 2008 and flowering for the first time. At around 60cm high it looks a bit daft in a 9cm pot and I'd be interested to know what size of pot others use and if they get away with it outside (in the UK)

Darren was kind enough to send me some seed which I sowed in May so eventually I may well have a clump!

Cypella herbertii

Tried it outside twice David. no luck  >:(, I keep it in a plastic long tom burried in sand under glass for the winter and drench it as often as I can remember when in growth. It's corms like to get deep down.

Amazing how fast the flowering stems develop on Rhodophiala.  Here is what I received as R. elwesii and Alberto says it's is araucana, a pot of seedlings mostly terrcotta but a few later pale yellows to follow. You can see the flowers quickly go over when hand-pollinated yet all will set seed.

Apologies for the terrible photos, borrowed camera.

johnw - 18c and very blustery.

Most extraordinary, John. By all means try to propagate your own seed as this is the beginning of the "taming" of this species.

Great idea Alberto I will do that. And if openly I could tame some of the other ones but that would require flowering.

I will post what I have as araucana when it flowers. Seems to me I had montana & araucana seed from the Archibalds and reversed the labels so it may be montana according to Alberto.

Roland  - They'll be 15 years old in October, from Harry Jans as Hippeastrum elwesii ex Goteborg.  No party planned.

I agree. Although I am not expert to tell, It looks pretty much as the ones I saw some years ago in a valley between Argentina and Chile. The Valley were full of Rhodophiala Montana flowering in mid Summer. There were variations in colour(from light orange to yellow). A beautifull sight. The seeds have had germinative power for five years keept dry at the refrigerator.
