N. ventricosa pollen available....

[hcarlton]

Hello,
Posted this in the pollen exchange board, but decided to do so here as well just to make sure it's seen:
I have a large male N. ventricosa "red" that is opening flowers right now, so I'm looking for anyone who has females that are receptive. There's 2 flowers stalks so I'll have plenty of pollen.
PM if interested.

I may have a female Spectabilis x truncata coming.

that would be a real nice cross

My N. ventricosa "red" is in full flower mode too - must be the time of year.

My regular ventricosa female is also in full on flower mode, I just cut 3 flowers off. Saved the two nicest ones for pollination, and I'm sure there are at least 4 or 5 more spikes coming.

Spectabilis x truncata would make an amazing cross with vent. If it does flower, please PM me, I would hate to let such an opportunity go astray.

ok:) once this leave fully opens there is one more which will be smaller and i can tell theres a spike inside so maybe a month? store your pollen:) ill keep you posted!

Update: the second flower stalk is producing pollen, and I now have over 20 packets of pollen available!

Plenty of pollen left for grabs, any interesting females out there?
