A beautiful SS, well spaced and presented blooms, held clear of the foliage. Strong color, attractive petal stance and good shape. An altogether attractive and superior package.
A nice representative clone of the species.
They seem to be most closely related to virens. On occasion they are offered for sale as virens var. sugiyamianum. As with virens, they seem to do best using basket culture.
Yuuuuuuup!
Plants with big root systems need more beer, .... Or a bigger pair of snips!
I have been dreading my repotting, I am not sure if my liver can take the abuse.
Very 'pot-plant trade' breeding. Neat growth habit, attractive foliage, tall spike and sequential blooming. The lineage possibilities would be endless. I suspect that plants like Delophylum and Pinnochio might well feature in its makeup.
Thank you for all your positive comments. I was hoping for a few more spikes as it is a large plant. Perhaps next season? Repotting this beast should take a few more beers than last time:)
When I repotted this plant last year it fell apart into 3 pieces. All 3 are in bloom at the moment, unfortunately not in the same pot though :mad:
It would have been good to have had 4 spikes on a single plant.
