NASC Auction will open in...

Read the rules first :)
NASC auction is OPEN!!
Here another h.minor var pilosa, very different. This one is also from auyan, but the nectar spoon is more elongated.
Strange fact on this clone; the nectar spoon stay yellowish even under massive lighting.

Of course i will make pure pilosa seeds(x self) but i think i will pollinate the first flower with some pulchella or parva pollen. I think the cross can be interesting.

As always, thanks for looking. !

Thx guys ! :)

Thx for your compliments also. H.minor var pilosa seeds will be gold nuggets. I pollinated many species over the last few years, but nothing rewarding like h.minor var pilosa seeds! Im in heli heaven :-)

I just cant find any pictures or any information on internet about flowering pilosa. I just cant believe im the first one. Wistuba make them flower for sure..

Anyway, i will add so many pictures of the whole pilosa story, internet will be well documented from now :)
 
OMG Maiden. Damn! Congrats man. H. minor var pilosa is amazing man. Glad to see it flower. Fingers crossed for you man. Looking forward to seeing more of this baby in the future and perhaps its own babies. :D One of my wishlist helis for sure. :D
 
I sow 1 seed for testing purpose, and i got a germination 4 days later.

For those who bought my h.minor var minor auyan seeds, i think you can trust the freshness :-)
