Wow.....I have about 10 plants but not as healthy as yours. They certainly are easy to grow and bloom.

It's amazing how much Norito travels......

Use the pollen but don't stress the plant. It is a small first bloom seedling and putting a pod on it might just sap too much energy.

I agree that the judges got a bit excited, in fact very excited but this was a small first bloom seedling so a cultural award was out of question. My guess is that this will seem quite typical as a seedling, but all of them are spectacular. With a small reference point, this is a likely result.

There have been a lot of these hybridized in the past as species but actually being hybrids. Some plants labeled chamberlainianum, glaucophyllum, etc were assumed by the breeder to be the same.....and the mistake is perpetuated.

The new program, Orchids Plus will be available online with constant updates available for those that want a permanent version on their pc. The online program will, of course, only be as fast as the connection speeds on both ends.

The price is the same whether it is an HCC or FCC....I'm not seeing FCC on this one too, although the color is nice....the form just doesn't show consistency.

I love the smooth color that mastersianum vinis present......nice one.

My standard mix has charcoal, fir bark and perlite as the primary ingredients. The size of the particles is determined by the size of the roots......

It was a good show, we had 14 nominations and 3 AOS awards were granted. The Society is a great group and did a fine job of organizing the events including a banquet in the evening. Thanks to everyone involved!

I believe it is a normal colored coccinea. The progeny ranged from bright orange to pure yellow with various combinations. The yellow ones seem to be most common.

Well done, it is a very well balanced flower showing the best of both parents.

It does have minimal notching on the petals, that a good thing with the 4N hybrids.

I like it! This is pretty unique among phrags with the twisted petals. Phrag hirtzii is the only other one that I am aware of...

You might ask Sam....

I agree that there are some questions about the project, but the tagged article is so deliberately political that it has to be discounted.

The photos look nice......I'm with Ernie on this one, take it in and see what happens.

Perhaps.....it just magnifies the washed out color. Some plants of Phrag Jason Fischer show dark purplish shades on the margins, so maybe it's just a gradation of how the color manifests according to temperature.

The color is defined by the temperatures it endures while the flower is maturing. Often flowers on the same inflorescence will appear different colors when temperatures are hotter or cooler over a few weeks. The best reds show up in cool temperatures, my best flowers are in the winter when it...

Rick, That is terrible, and in South Texas where rain is usually pretty plentiful. I imagine it has cut down insects, snakes and spiders.......Hopefully it gets better, but you have some major problems with your house. Those trees are tall enough to cause trouble too..........hang in there.
