I also love and enjoy your sincere reply to my private message. Regarding the probably overlooked fruit, i will try to check it myself when i go home next weekend, as my sister whom i asked to check said there's none, but maybe as you said she just did not check further! I hope it has so my escapade and experience will be your second replicate. LOL. I enjoy being in contact with you again. Our mothers only have a difference of 6 yrs, she's still at home responsible for planting this lily, and still gardening.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-10596223790680585542011-08-12T01:29:10.650+08:002011-08-12T01:29:10.650+08:00Hello Andrea!

Judging from your lovely photos I can just deduced that its features resemble very much the Proiphys amboinensis that we're growing too. The only difference is the shade of the leaves where yours is lighter as observed. The choice is yours, my dear friend... continue to search until you're 100% satisfied and be swirled further or just let it rest. Hehe... I got a feeling you'll be choosing the former, right? Knowing me, that'll be my choice too.. haha! :)Jacquelinehttp://www.jaycjayc.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-15211401970001191402011-08-11T09:49:12.788+08:002011-08-11T09:49:12.788+08:00metscaper - if you will read the reference i put i...metscaper - if you will read the reference i put in my post, you can discern there that the Philippines is one of the Southeast Asian countries where it can be endemic. There are other references to that effect.<br /><br />Solitude rising - the scientists who study the identities of plants are plant taxonomists, a specialization in botany. I am a plant physiologist. But if someone is familiar with the morphological terms in plants, even if not a plant taxonomist, then they can try. Sometimes, mere sameness in photos are not strong enough as basis!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-34315808662326328672011-08-11T03:01:40.153+08:002011-08-11T03:01:40.153+08:00Congratulations for finally unearthing the true id...Congratulations for finally unearthing the true identity of your mysterious plant.

How is school?<br /><br />Bom - my search doesn't stop there, i am very patient with these things. If you will read Jacq's posts, they are so nice to read and the experiences lovely. From her posts i learn to love this lily more! I texted my sister to check if there are seeds, but none at all. I guess my time will be more devoted to Hippeastrum and the seeds sent by our friend from Illinois.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5003023115854661475.post-74031255655266278782011-08-09T23:57:58.573+08:002011-08-09T23:57:58.573+08:00Congratulations on the ID.
