15 spikes on the way...

It's the roots that matter. They need big root systems to bloom. A single fan should have at least 8 big, fleshy roots that completely fill a 2" x 3"tall pot. If they have that, they will bloom about a year from deflasking.

Glorious, congratulations!

The biting of nails intensifies

The longest petal is 17.1cm.

Let's find out *gets ruler*

I doubt I'll self it; it's really not good enough for that. Needs a shot of something with longer petals and better twists.

As you can see, quite manageable.

Thanks all. It's not the biggest or best phil, but it has great color, good vigor, and bloomed super fast from flask (less than 3 years.). It is indeed pretty compact, with "three" spikes in a 5in pot with a 16in leafspan. I remade Harbinger's Dark Ages (x wilhelminae) and Lebaudyanum (x...

I doubt they'll be ugly; I was teasing. I suspect they will look a lot like Gemstone's Randschild.

That's exactly what it is

I'm expecting 4-5 on first bloomers, 8-9 on full adults. Mom & Dad on their first blooms, so you don't have to go searching through my old threads:
