When something is awesome but has no progeny, 99% of the time, it's because it's sterile as sterile can be.

Here's another first bloom from that grex with 3 half-mature + 2 new growths coming from a single fan.

Nope, single plant. Should bloom around my birthday in January

Okay seriously that's big enough. That's a 9in/23cm pot.

Yep, it's a normal delenatii except the printer ran out of ink.

Save me pollen. 183° is in sheath.

Hmmm...since it's a mix of chuck & henry... 1. Did your temps get fairly high (85°F+) when it was close to blooming? My fall-winter bloomers LOVE to blast if they push buds early while the growspace is still hot. 2. What have you been feeding it? 3. Spray anything recently? Since it has...

Put it on a good, vigorous standard color and start the two-step breeding.

Ribbon judging is much more forgiving than AOS judging. I would enjoy it till the show, then pull off the lowest flower. Worst that happens is it won't get a ribbon. I suspect it probably still would, just maybe not 1st place.

Davidii!!!! I tried getting one from Hengduan but it showed up dead 😭

'ats cuz they're dead.

See what I mean?

Kinda looks like v. daoense.

Mild but yes, sweet, mix of bubblegum & english rose. Of course I pulled the pouch off to breed with it, so now it stinks like squished paph roots.

What's wrong with 'Trouble with Tribbles?' lol

Unfortunately a mouse has moved into the basement and sampled this flower the day before it opened. What I'll do to it when I catch it cannot be mentioned in polite company.

Division my friend gave me. He got it from Fishing Creek orchids, but where they got it, I do not know. Couldn't tell you if it's undescribed or unidentified, but I believe it's the former. Cute thing, flower 1.3 x 1.7cm, leaf 3.5 x 7cm

It'll be better, but it will never rival my OZ henrys. That's okay, it doesn't need to.

One of Sam's grexes, don't have the tag handy. Form is absolutely abysmal, but it has, by far, the most intense color I've ever seen in a henry. Even in this pic, the pouch color is very washed out and does not do it justice, as the sun was already setting and very little purple light was...

But... it's purple...
