28 Jun 2019 - Byblis Flowers

Our carnivorous Byblis has finally flowered.  The five-petaled flowers are generally purple to pale violet.  The flowers of Byblis usually start to bloom in early spring and last until late summer.  However I guess in Singapore, it probably will bloom all year round.

Fertilized flowers mature to form an egg shaped, two-parted seed capsule. As the seed capsule dries out it cracks open, dropping the seed on the ground.  The black seeds are generally round and often bear webbed surface markings.
