I just happened to look under some leaves and found this neat seed pot on one of my Uncarina Roesoelianas. I have never had one before. It is so neat looking. I looked it up and it is supposedly not that easy to hand pollinate. It needs to be pollinated by a beetle.
Wow, that is so interesting, and Cool!
I hope you're planning on entering this photo into PlantFiles ?

WOW, that is really smashing, SallyD; hope you do as suggest by Sashagirl!

How kool!
What beetle did you use? ;p
Grow em!
Maybe itll be a new hybrid?
Congrats SallyD!
I would love to take the credit for brilliantly doing the pollination, but I have no idea how this was pollinated. I just read that information and thought it was interesting. I will have to figure out how to use the plant file. Great idea.
Thanks. Sally
Sally - it is beautiful - love the color :-)
Congrats on being a proud Mom! He's a cutie!!

Dear Sally,
It's easy to use the Plant Files:
Go to Guides and Information, Plant Files and click on the green "search for a plant" bar then enter the name of your plant in the boxes as appropriate. Click on the matching plant in the search results and scroll down the entry. You will see a link "upload a picture of this plant" . After that it is just like uploading to the forums, except a bit slower as they check the photos before they put them online. I think a lot of your plants should be in Plant Files as the Caudiciform plants seem to be somewhat under represented.
Happy photo posting, Kaelkitty.
