Dear friends, I recently reported on a pastel L. squamigera. First time I have seen this bloom. Another first today. One bulb of L. longituba has produced flowers with multiple petals. Only 2 flowers are open so far. One has 10, the other 11 petals. Both have extra anthers (9 and 10 respectively) and both have a single, slightly odd stigma. I'll hand pollinate and see what happens. Most double flowers have reduced or missing sexual parts. The very double L. radiata 'Fireworks' (http://plantdelights.com/Catalog/Current/…) has lost all sexual parts. Again I'd be glad to send pix of these multi-petalled L. longituba or pastel L. squamigera to anyone interested. See what more this hot bloom season will bring. Best jim W. -- Dr. James W.
