Hi Lucian, thanks. Those 3 plants, I grew them individually from my seeds. That is, if I want to have seeds, I will pollinate them and have seeds. They are not from one plant, they are 3 different plants.

Ok, now I understand what you mean. BUT, by definition a clone is a plant genetically identical whit the plant it comes from. All those three kotskhoubeyanus are from seeds and they are genetically unique in this world which means that they are not clones. If they are different than they can not be clones. If you put these two words together you create confusion because they are antonyms.

If you will cut leafs from them and graft them, then the plants that you will obtain from them will be clones. When I'm looking at a plant labeled CLONE I start asking myself how it become a plant, analyse the root and all other parts of it.

Thank you. Very nice plants.

Lucian.

Hi Lucian, thanks. Sorry for the misunderstanding, I wanted to say plants, cos I grew them individually from my seeds.

hi lucian, you are right about the means of the term clone but in the last period lots of people call an individual plant(so a plant that is unique) a clone( i think in the way of multiply it)

Wrong time for flowers in the Southern Hemisphere.
First plant trigonis x scapharostrus
Second is retusus cv. Magnifucus x scapharostrus, this is one of my most favourite Ario plants it has two nice pups I intend to cut off and graft soon.
