I’ve seen the photos of smallish plants in bloom as well as this monster … is it that they can bloom even when small or or these different varieties?

Bravo! Congratulations Ramon. Jimmy

Thanks so much for sharing these. Congratulations again for growing such a great plant.

looks like it was more than worth the wait

Very nice - looks like I was more then we’ll worth the wait. Can’t wait to see when they’re all open. May I ask where the seedlings were from?

Thanks. Would be great to see a photo of that if possible.

Good to know. How is it different from this photo. Is the veining more prominent? Would be great to compare if you have a photo for our education.

This is helpful discussion. I thought var roebelinii is supposed to have the the larger flowers and longer twisrted petals compared to regular philippinense. In this case, it seems that smaller plants on the right with the smaller flowers are roebelinii?

Thanks for this Incharm. Can you confirm which one is which in this photo with the flowers? Are the larger 2 plants on the left with the broader longer leaves roebelinii? The smaller ones on the right with the thinner leaves and the smaller flowers the “normal” philippinense? The earlier...

Congratulations to you both! Did the judges question the var philippinense description of the plant or is that something judges don’t comment on?

Very impressive. I got to see the Windsong clone at SEPOS. They said they may have seedlings from a selfing in a few years.

Thanks LO, looks like they’re all around from 20 yrs ago or so, so far. Great to see the comparisons. I have a Rex x MM around 24 in LS that I was told needs a few yrs to bloom, looks like the cross was made again at a later time or I have a really slow grower.

Was the Rex x MM cross made multiple times? Are the plants you have all shared started around the same time?

Thanks for the tip! I should wait then for the bud to be more developed before putting a clip and then use bigger clips. hopefully I’ll get more spacing in between.

Thanks. This is very helpful. I see that the spacing looks better and maybe a wider dorsal on the 2nd bloom? Did it get an award?

Update on this - here it is in bloom. I was hoping for darker dorsals and perhaps more distance between the blooms. What do you think? Is this likely to get better with the next bloom?

Looks nice! I have Lady Isabel ‘Lady in Red’ x Roth ‘New Horizon’ - a huge plant, will be interesring to compare should mine bloom this year.

Very impressive - can you share how you flask seeds? How do you maintain sterility? We could learn from what you’ve done so well.
