Which one the Aeschynanthus? I think mine is blooming cause it got damn cold in the greenhouse this winter. It's a wonder it's alive. Same for the Agapetes. Those are awesome Antone.

Yeah the Aeschynanthus lanceolatus. Maybe I'll get lucky this year.

Is your A. albidus from me? I can't remember who I've given that species to. Its a beautiful plant but those flowers gross me out.

You must have been reading my mind. The Aeschynanthus I posted is angustifolius but my lanceolatus you sent me will have flowers in a week or so.

I got the A albidus from Lauray a few tears back. I like the flowers. They are strange little bug like things. This plant was thought to be extinct in the wild but in 2007 they found a plant along a pipeline and collected cuttings. When they returned later there was no sign of the original plant.

Ah yeah, I see that now. I think I had one of those brain fart moments where I saw angustifolius but read it as lanceolatus b/c the foliage looks so much alike. I don't think I have Aeschynanthus angustifolius. Might have to get that one.

The A. albidus I have was collected in Pahang I think. I got it a few years ago as a little 2 node piece with no name or anything. I wonder if it was from that same pipeline. Hmph...

Could be. Here's the link to the paper. Sounds like it was first collected in 2007 and by 2008 it was gone. This doesn't in any way mean that was the last of it but it is curious. Let me know if you would like a piece of the angustifolius.

Hi Harry,
First off, I know nothing about this plant. That being said, I believe what they are saying in the paper posted by James, is that it was considered extinct in Singapore, but then rediscovered there. It says it also occurs elsewhere. It's a beautiful plant. Glad to see it's not extinct in the wild or in cultivation. Thanks for sharing.

Chuck, Yep, I guess that's what I get for skimming and not really taking time to read carefully.
