    My E. treacherianum (syn. E. lyonii) has several spikes elongating so I am interested in getting some pollen again this year for an out-cross. It may still be 4-6 weeks before I have blooms but please keep me in mind if you are growing and blooming this one. I would be happy to reciprocate with pollen from mine.
    If you are interested in a pollen trade, here is a photo of my clone from last year. I have selfed this one but have never been able to find pollen for an out-cross.

    Nice! Did you get yours from Andy? If so we probably have the same clone.

    Yes, I did a long time ago. Even a sibling would be better than a selfing (I'm assuming these were seed grown but I don't know that for a fact). Does yours show any signs of blooming? These seem to be notorious for being difficult to bloom and no one ever has pollen when I need it. However, I believe they really like disturbance. I divided my largest plant and every piece is putting out at least one spike.

    I'm not sure if they're sibs or not. When I purchased my plant Andy said he had mad a number of divisions of his large plant and I received a fresh division at the time. That was about 2 years ago.

    Hmmm, too bad. Probably not worth making the cross then, but thanks. I'll keep looking.

    I can more than likely pick up a plant at our show from the Ooi's. It would certainly be a different clone as long as it bloomed out to actually be lyonii lol!

    I don't have room for another one but I sure do like them.

    Kelly, this plant I going to flower. Flourish for the first time and do not know how long it will take to bloom. Board shall provide material, but I do not know whether it is possible to simply send the U.S.. I'm from Central Europe.
