Another good word in for Hawaiian Botanicals. I ordered a N. villosa and N. hamata from Jack and in addition to my 10% OCPS discount Jack also threw in, as a bonus, N. inermis 'Talang Striped'. The plants look very nice. Way to go Jack and Jeanie!

Right back at you As the others have said, i as well was surprised in the size of the plants i got from Tael, thank you very much I was soooo anxious for the U. sandersonii, YAY!! It's amazing how the capensis alba are sooo much bigger than the reds who were sown at the same time... i guess the production of anthocyanin slows the growth. Can anyone tell me, *coughTOMcough* if antho-free sarrs grow faster than those with antho? Thanks again

Also, I think that the growth was faster for the alba because they were leaf cuttings. But yeah, they do grow faster and seem to get bigger than the other cape varieties, I think.

in my experience the albino form of D.capensis tends to be bigger than the "regular" one when grown in identical conditions, but I am not real sure if the production of anthocyanin is responsible for the difference

Did i hear coughing?! Anthocyanin pigments are for protecting the cells from intense light (its why plants are redder in strong light than in shades) and may have a role in protection regarding metabolism (antioxydant purposes). I'm not a pro regarding this and might/could be wrong, but generally albino mutant plants tends to be weaker/a bit more fragile than their 'non mutant' counterpart. I haven't notice if the albino form of D. capensis is larger than the others forms: they are more or less equal in my cultures. Do they grow faster? i dont know, but if you compare a seedling (crowded amongst others or shocked from transplantation) with an established cutting, the second one should grow faster... I haven't read intensely on the subject neither, but here's a few links that could help you to set your mind about the purpose of anthocyanin and what it might imply for the mutant with them: www.photobiology.info/AdvModsEnvPBGould.asp.htmlen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthocyanin

Have agree with tom about albino plant, generally they are weaker than their normal counterpart. However capensis alba is a exception I find it handle high levels of sunlight better than the thin - leaf form. This is under SA sunlight which is high in UV, there is still hole in the ozone over us in summer.

Adding DVG to this list in SPADES- plants were promised via a funny phone convo yesterday afternoon (to be shipped "sometime soon" haha) and arrived this morning in a bomb-proof box (it probably took me longer to open it than it did for them to travel here) BEAUTIFUL plants shipped at lightspeed. Fingers crossed everyone in the area will soon have P.gypsicola should they be interested Thanks SO much DVG!!!

You're very welcome Mabs! Canada ExpressPost does seem to move very quickly from here to there. Good luck with those and hopefully you will be able to spread some of the CP wealth around.
