奇怪,我可以打开呢! 內容: New Bougainvillea from Seed
Seed of bougainvillea is available in some parts of the world, namely from (Asia or Africa), but it has been reported that these seed are primarily from the "species". Although, it is commonly thought that most Bougainvillea hybirds are "sterile", there is a lot that we must learn before we can say for a fact that they are "sterile":
It has been reports that the hybird "Mrs Butt" (B. x buttiana) has produced seed in Kenya but not in India. In like manner, "Mrs Eva" (a hybird with the dominant parent as B. glabra) produces seed in Malaysia Seed production in bougainvillea is primarily a result of the mother plant being grown in the ideal climate and under certain environmental situations. In Malaysia and surrounding areas, it is easier to get certain hybirds to set seed than in other areas of the world. However, even here it is not easy to get seed to set:
The following was received from Omvrey Chong from Malaysia: "I have B. glabra plants grown from seeds of natural pollination. However, I must admit that the natural pollination for B. glabra is very low in hot countries especially with similar climate as Malaysia. B. glabra cultivars such as ‘Mrs. Eva’, which has long lasting mauve bracts can set seed and is used for cross breeding purpose as seed parent. However, out of innumerous times of experiments, there was only one hybrid produced in Malaysia, which has mauve bicoloured bracts, named ‘Eva’s Ice-cream’. I tried to breed them several times but not succeeded, I guess good luck is needed beside determination..."
If you are lucky enough to get a bougainvillea hybird to set seed, it should take about 30 days for the pod to ripen and then germination is fairly quick and easy. Seed are reported to be viable for up to a year or more.
