She finally strutted her stuff and I am SO happy!!! This one didn't come from David Liddle, so I have no idea of the IML# corresponding to it...it came from a trade who got it from Logees, I think. I have waited so long for this!!! Onychoides is about to bloom too, so I will post the flowers together if she hurries up!!!
Congratulations Carol . It's Gorgeous. I love the color and shape of the blooms. Amazing.
I am looking forward to seeing your Onychoides too.
Patti
Absolutely stunning!
Gorgeous. Please let us know about the smell tonight- it's supposed to be one of the very best. How big is that mac?
Oh, I am soo happy for you. I have a little one I got from Logees 2 years ago. It hasn't even grown much.
You are sure gettin the blooms this year girl. Im gonna go get out my last packet of Messenger tomorrow. Ha.
Marcy
Congratulations!!!
Macgillivrayi is my absolute favourite flower No 1. Also the smell is a favourite. Smells sooo good!!
My mac has bloomed once and that was during a period of two months. Surprisingly enough that was during our darkest time of the year, January - March. In January for example we don't have daylight many hours a day. I was really surprised that it started to bloom just at that time of the year.
Thanks.... It is pouring down rain but I am going out with the brolly to check the fragrance. Hasta manana....
WOW, Carol. That is simply stunning!
Are you doing the "happy dance"?
Ann
Very pretty, Carol and I'm not at all jealous (I'm lying, but you know that!)... Oh well, some day my little cutting (6 inches high) will look like that!
When you don't want more rain, could you send it my way? We REALLY need it! I'm melting in this heat.

Carol - VEEEERY nice!! Is it in a hanging basket or up a trellis? I have a cutting my sis gave me that....all of a sudden....is growing gangbusters and I'm wondering in what kind of container it should go in. It gets large, doesn't it? Great growing!
WOW - beautiful flower and beautiful picture!!
There are a bunch of different macgillivrayiis around. I have a couple from DL that are different (not bloomed yet), and I have some that I got last summer that didn't have names (one has buds), plus I have the little one from Logees.Can anyone tell by that flower which mac. that is? I guess if the one I got from Logees ever blooms, that is what it will be. Thanks for posting that, Carol.
Marcy
Wow, lovely vibrant color.
My take is that you can only really tell from the flowers which differnt clone it is....
Yes, it has a sweet 'like good soap' fragrance...but not cloying.
It is in a hanging basket with a tomato cage...it is climbing up the cage.... So I think it would like to grow like it's cousins H. archboldiana etc.
Love those biggy flowers!!!
Carol
Very pretty flower Carol, I love the color..
Just Beautiful Carol, The Flower and the Picture. That is one that I have been wanting so badly. Another one to put on My to "Get list".
Margie
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely Stunning! I'm so jealous!
Nice one Carol! Mine is finally starting to put out more than one new leaf a year!
Carol, do you have that almost black one? 'macgillivrayii from padanthus creek' or something like that...
Yes...I have it...but it is still a toddler. :>)
My macgillivrayi is probably 'Pandanus Creek'. The person I bought it from is almost certain that it is that one.
Here she is.
Lotta
Carol if you are making a list ... put me on it for that one!
ann
Oh, Lotta. I am absolutely in love. Yes, must have too.
Beautiful photo!!!
Ann
Got a year or two?
I just got them this Spring...all of the Macs from David. Now the waiting and wringing of hands....you know...the 'stuff'....
They are both absolutely gorgeous.
