Re: [Aroid-l] Helicodiceros fruit

From: Baumfarn Webmaster <webmaster at baumfarn.at> on 2007.05.23 at 20:21:29(15697) Hi C.J., wonderfull pictures. How is the cultivation environment, especially for those which bloomed? +More Soiltype, light (full-sun, partial sun, shade) and watering? thanks Peter C. J. Addington wrote: Hello Aroiders! Due to a hectic academic life lately, I have mostly been a silent lurker on this board - reading a lot but adding little. But I have had a cool event happen in my yard that I thought I would share . . . The last few years I have been planting Helicodiceros offsets in various parts of my California garden, and they have slowly started blooming in early May.This year I had one of my blooms get pollinated naturally - no scalpel, no paintbrush, no frozen pollen - and set a nice cluster of fruits all on its own. I have never seen a Helicodiceros fruit cluster before, and figured that few people have either, so here it is! If you click on this Flickr photo link, you can see the fruit cluster: http://www.flickr.com/photos/california_aroids/sets/72157600242205488/ I am working on getting more of my photos online as well - I had some nice Arum, Dracunculus and Biarum blooms this spring. Have a great week All! Cheers, C.J.
