hi everybody, just a few observations about the seed of S. aghensis which i sent to dell. S. aghensis is a very beautiful species in the genus, producing large tubers and very tall peduncles (the tallest in the genus) with dark-wine purple flowers held high atop the soft green foliage rosette. this species grows in FULL SUN on rocks facing the atlantic ocean in southeast brazil. because it faces a pronounced dry season in its habitat, losing all top growth, it may take a full season for the seed to germinate. this was relayed to me from someone else that received my seed in the past. this of course makes sense -- if the dry season is iminent, it'd be suicidal for the seed to sprout then. so if you do not get germination shortly after planting the seed, don't give up and save the pot for next season. i can't access the wiki pics right now, but i believe some of the photos show the incorrect flower color (it's not pink but dark purple). good growing! tsuh yang __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
