My veltheimias inside in pot usually flower in early spring This time V capensis flowers now.I think it has to do with the time you start watering.A few year ago I measured about 20 Wild Veltheimias obtained from Graham Duncan Kirstenbosch. The two species differed clearly in their amount of nuclear DNA However there was a plant deviating with 2 pg more DNA However Graham could not see any difference So we never came around to publish the results. I wonder is has to do something with V deasii .I would appreciate to receive a fresh root (wrapped, not closed) in plastic to measure its DNA and compare it with my earlier results.Send it to the adress below Dont mention *plants* on the outside but: *Herbarium material for botanical study*. no papers needed. Apart from that, seeds of a dark red form of Veltheimia would be welcome too ☺!
