Hi everyone,

I will be sharing the progress of the new Byblis hybrid in this thread. Enjoy! :water:

Parents
B. 'Goliath' - bore the fruits; over 120cm tall before the wind broke it into two; as a single stem until about 85cm in height when branching took place
B. guehoi (A) - pollen used; branched very early and produced lots of flowers

Out of 100 seeds that were sowed, 70 germinated since 7 Oct 2011...with about 50% germinated within the first week.

The seeds were sowed in GA3 for 24hrs and sowed on a mixture of peat/sand/LFS.

When the seedlings are about 1-2cm tall, they are transplanted into pure LFS.

Thanks for sharing! They are beautiful!
 
Gorgeous! Can't wait to see them when they're bigger!
 
Adorable little seedlings! Something to look forward to....
 
Hi everyone,

Just a clarification for the following pic. The seedlings in the peat/sand mix are the first to germinate. Each of them was transplanted into LFS and subsequently the whole clump is then moved into the thumb pot. The peat/sand mix is just a cover for the ugly greenish LFS on the surface. Peat/sand is not a better media. :jester:

No perlite? No heart-shaped bloodworms? LOL!

The seeds germinated last month on the 7th. Today is the 7th...exactly one month.

The largest seedling stands at 2.5" tall and 2.25" wide. :-O
