I repotted, downsized and pulled a couple of back bulbs offf with almost no roots that a friend wanted to try to rehab. Only one flower so could be adjusting. It was growing way out of the pot so that part of what this is. I looked at the combined post you did from 1/23. The OL plant clearly...

Almost completely open. I’ll post a photo tomorrow. At first I thought it was not flattening out but on 3rd day is looking good.

I thought so, too until I had a hard time blooming them and killed a couple…

Not sure, they were tiny she said but that was all.

UPDATE, see new photos below: A remake (this one from Waldor) of an 1898 primary hybrid with (4N) cultivars (C. percivaliana ‘Summit’ FCC/AOS (4N) x C. trianae ‘Cashen’s’ FCC/AOS (4N). It’s just beginning to show its face today but I can already see this one really pulled from its ‘Cashen’s...

Congratulations to you (and David)!!! Amazing flower, especially after a month! So frustrating sometimes, that there is no judging when you need it. This one will definitely be upgraded when shown in all its glory!

Ray, they were sold on the table at Redlands this year. I was not there, but I know they were as a friend saw them.

Good to know. @PeteM your moss is a good thing! Just be careful for it shedding water.

Ha rdcto imagine that turning into something nice. So many things wrong. Just plain ugly duckling!

I’ve never purchased from Equa. At shows their displays are set up somewhat haphazardly with wilting plants/flowers and their packaged things for sale never look healthy. I’ve attributed it to shipping from distances but not sure. I was in Apopka and didn’t even visit their nursery.

Waldor is very reputable, fairly priced and will stand behind anything that slips by virused as they endeavor to not ship virused plants. If you ask for $5 Dsve will test it before they ship. Most of my catts have come from them.

Surely it will. Keep it cool! Something this perfectly beautiful must get judged!!

Welcome from Virginia! Great forum.

The carnea’s lip is amazing! All very nice!

Yep, I had to give them up for that reason.

This is a crowd pleaser as it has 12 flowers on 2 inflorescences that position vertically on the stem so requires almost no separation. Easy to grow and species in background give it (so far for me) up to 6 per stem. Meristem from Waldor. Color is ethereal. Second photo when only 1st 6 flowers...

(Sorry, forgot I’d already posted this 🤷🏼‍♂️. Can’t figure out how to delete). OP from Waldor, purchased 2021. By far the best bloom I’ve had. A full cm larger NS than awarded plant. Color saturation is great, 3 flowers . Thrilled with this bloom.

Agreed! Special indeed!

Good for you! Enjoy Redlands! And your anniversary celebration in Key West.

Thanks. You’ll see it Sunday.
