| Really nice CP.
I really like the myrio on the bottom left. I like the amount of petals she has.
Very beautiful. |

| good ol myriostigmas.. tough and reliable flowerers once they get going..mine flower continuously from spring,summer into autumn. i stopped posting flower pics of them as seeing the same plant in flower again and again and again would get rather boring.
i have some trouble getting seed on them though.. only a few times benn successful.. even though i cross pollinate with other myrios, hakuun, other astros. anyone else experience this? |

Dunno mate, I didn't know there was a secret! I've got these growing in the brightest part of the g/h, where they get pretty warm. I've also got a nude ornatum... you have to wait till she's got her "bloomers" on to see her too.

| Lewis This is one of my myriostigma v nudum. It may be hard to see but the stigma of right side flower has not opend yet. I some times forced to pollinate on unopend stigama and failed to get seed. Do you wait until a stigma to open completely when you pollinate?  |

| Thats really nice Hanazono.
I love the indented ribs, signs of maturity really gives her character.
I'm a little jealous.
Once I get camera back I'll be sure to post some of my astros, even if they are not in flower. |

Yep as far as I'm aware it must be fully open to accept any pollen.
That is a fine example of a Myrio Kikko nudum. I love it  |
