Hi Laurent, Although unusual, I have had a few pygmies produce multiple
growing points, including scorpioides. I think the record belongs to
something labelled D pygmaea NSW, which looks as though it is about 10
plants but is actually one plant with multiple heads. I suspect I may
have damaged the original growing point when harvesting gemmae.
Regarding my comment about cutting the stalk of D scorpioides after it
puts out aerial roots, don't do it if the stalk is still alive, as may
be the case if the plant received inadequate conditions for summer
dormancy.
Hi Derek,
Bad luck if your strange pygmy does turn out to be the 'Lake Badgerup'
hybrid. I have received this under a variety of names including occidentalis
'South Coast', sp 'Beermullah' and lasiantha!
Hi Andy,
Most of my pygmies are well-behaved, but because I keep them under relatively
poor conditions some of them do odd things from time to time. I have one that
is concurrently producing flowers and gemmae!
Good Growing, NigelH
