Bonjour,

J'ai un Kalanchoe dont la floraison m'étonne.

Une floraison anormale d'une plante que je rapprocherais de K. daigremontiana, hybride ou pas.
Il faudra voir ce que donne la prochaine floraison.

Ce qui est anormale ce sont les très longs filaments dépassant la corolle. Daigremontiana avec un petit défaut ?

Sur le gros plan de la fleur, ce sont plutôt les styles qui dépassent, les filaments et les anthères sont à l'intérieur de la corolle.

Une plante qui cherche désespérément à se faire polliniser, il va falloir que je lui trouve un copain!

Tu as raison, Tom. Ce sont les styles - loin d'être normal.

I'm late for this party, but just wanted to give more info about this form. It is a nameless form of a supposedly spontaneous hybrid of daigremontiana, but in old forums it goes by the name Kalanchoe "Moullec" or Bryophyllum "Moullec" honoring the person who noticed it and gave it to many people. Maybe Jean-Michel can shade more light on its origin?

As for the second parent of this hybrid, some suggested Kalanchoe jongmansii (I think Stephen Jankalski was the one who originally suggested this), to account for the more decumbent growth, different ovaries, exserted pistils, reduced calyx tube with spaced sepals, and a shorter, funnel-shaped corolla with yellow/brown tint. (I think that beauverdii might be a better explanation as it accounts for the same features, and according to Resende plantlet formation is a recessive feature in hybrids while inflorescence hair seems to be dominant - so if jongmansii is the parent it is unlikely to have plantlets at first generation, etc... At least this is my opinion, so I might be completely wrong)

Anyway, here is the same form in my collection (receiving 7 hours of direct sun...)

A question - can the ICN officially name a form? If so, it might be good to consider officially naming this one (cv 'Moullec') to avoid confusion with other long-leaved daigremontiana / its long-leaved hybrids (like Richaud's daigremontiana "Makay form", 'Parsel Tongue' ISI 2007-25, and certain clones of x houghtonii like 'Jaws of Life').
