The other flower was not so nicely formed

The move to the new house also seemed to trigger a mass blooming of immaculata
P. immaculata by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Also just released a vid on this species a bit ago:
P. planifolia by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And can confirm: flowers are self-compatible

Funny how they droop like this every night

Got my first flowers on heterophylla!

And I attempted to cross the first one with macrophylla...however, despite the pods seemingly starting to develop, both of them fell flat. I think I may have been a couple days late since they started blooming while I was away.

I did, however, also try crossing moranensis, agnata, and emarginata with pollen from the heterophylla, and put moranensis pollen on the second flower...so fingers crossed.
 
 
 
As it ages this one develops a lavender glow to the petal edges
P. "Snow Angel" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And I have related miniatures in bloom now
P. emarginata x rotundiflora HC B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
As this flower has aged it's gotten whiter, the center halo pink with electric violet edges
P. emarginata x rotundiflora HC B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And this one...
P. (rotundiflora x gracilis) x emarginata HC A by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Made a bloom not at all like what I expected. No purple other than the stigma...

New mini flowers...
P. emarginata x immaculata HC C by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
From mini plants barely an inch across

As well as some of the parents again

Compare this flower to the one of the same cross in the last post...

P. emarginata x moranensis 'Huahuapan' HC D by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
A few of the southeast plants blooming; need to remember to cool down the others again next winter so they do the same

And a comparison shot; personally, I don't think "Snow Angel" should have been given to this one (on the right; my version on the left)
P. emarginata x rotundiflora A vs. "Snow Angel" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And, my typical gigantea might be the one blooming right now, but it's not the biggest clone...

The mini pings are reigning supreme currently

Part 2 shortly, for a different group of pings...
 
Last year I lost a couple of my main temperate species, this past couple months I got the opportunity to regain them...and several others
P. vulgaris "typical" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
P. vulgaris "white flower, Slovakia" BCP-1100 by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
P. grandilora grandiflora Ireland by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
P. caussensis Mende, S. France 400 m by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
P. poldini by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
The one single plant I was most excited about though, but the hibernaculum refused to wake up so I put it back in the fridge for another month, was longifolia
 
Finally first of this cross to bloom
P. sp. Tonala "ANPA A" x moctezumae HC D by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
P. sp. Tonala "ANPA A" x moctezumae HC D by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And now two of these clones in bloom

P. gracilis by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And I was a little late getting back from a trip to catch this one open
P. caerulea "HC" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
 
P. emarginata x moranensis 'Huahuapan' D by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
P. emarginata x rotundiflora Aramberri C by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
Seriously considering naming this one "Pinkeye" if I can get it propagated well enough to spread around
P. emarginata x rotundiflora Aramberri B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
P. emarginata x immaculata B by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
P. sp. Tonala "ANPA A" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
P. (rotundiflora x gracilis) x emarginata D by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
And, was touch and go for a bit as it refused to wake up without an extra month in the fridge, but I finally got P. longifolia to grow out.
P. longifolia by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr
 
 
P.poldini; P.longifolia; P.brevifolia (P.caussensis) are plants of calcareous environments (avoid peat).

for P.longifolia if you want to have long leaves (more than 10 cm) you have to tilt the pot a little
