Bombay bronze cockscomb

Probably my final update on the Bombay bronze cockscomb. Definitely a lot bigger than I’d ever imagined it getting. It’s definitely looking a little past its best now. But it is producing seeds now. Beautiful little shiny seeds. A little tricky to collect.



This is one of the plants I incorrectly pinched out. It did eventually grow some stunning little heads on long lovely stems. Perfect for cutting. But this is also seems to be a little hit and miss. As the other plant I pinched out has taken even longer to start growing again. It’s very busy with very short stems. To be fair it still could grow into something usable but I’m not convinced.

I think the little side shoots are absolutely lovely. even better than the big one.
Well done to you for persevering with them
