Default Re: Variation in seed grown M. itinerans "burmese blue"

6 weeks later...

The "runts" are doing well, and looking quite spectacular. They're still alot smaller than they should be, but are doing well, standing up on their own.


One strange thing I have noticed is that these small red ones produce droplets of sticky liquid. There are no insects feeding on the plant, I can quite see why it does it.



The long leaves one does not look so extreme now...(on the left)

It's leaves go back from the petiole, a bit like M. balbasiana



It has just started producing a pup now, I should soon know if the plant lives up to its name, and travels.


A few photos of leaf undersides (This is still the one with long, slender leaves)



This is a different plant, but very similar, except the leaves are a little wider, and blush red when new



Stem, a little waxy.


I still have many more to photograph....
