I have mine in the garden and some copped full overhead sun during that New Years Day heatwave a couple of years back with no apparent ill effects. I have some seed on a Neo hybrid I made a while back using Neo Carcharadon x concentrica. I haven't pollinated it myself, but I've observed the Honey Eaters flitting between it and a Neo. concentrica growing nearby and now nearly all of the flowers have developed seed capsules which are almost ready to harvest. I suspect the seed will either be Neo (carcharadon x concentrica) x Neo. concentrica or Neo (carcharadon x concentrica) x self as these were the only two brom's I had flowering at the time. If anyone would like any seed to try, just let me know as there's heaps to spare. Below is a pic of the seed bearing plant but unfortunately with te cold weather it has lost its pale pink colouring and has suffered a bit with the cold. All the best, Nev. |
