Hello Paphreek,

I like armeniacums very much and both are very nice!!
If I had to judge I would say the stance and colour of the first flower are better than of the second one.
But don't judge plants blooming for the first time!!!

Best regards from Germany, GuRu.

Thank you for your kind comments. I agree that #1 is the better flower on this blooming. Both plants are single mature growths. The height of the flower stem on #1 is 22cm, while the height on #2 is 15cm.

Both are nice, 1 is better.
You've a lot going on there, Ross!

I think the interesting thing is the difference in staminodes!

Your tellin' me? I'm glad the holidays are over so I can concentrate more on the orchids. Here's pics of a few of my shelves this evening. My apologies for the poor picture quality.

Nice blooms Ross.:clap: I wish I had some in bloom to take you up on your pollen offer.

I've seen a few armeniacums with exceptionally long leaves. I'm interested in finding out if the flower (or flowering aspects) of the long leafed plants is any different from the short leaf plants.

Maybe Leo could help on this one too.

I agree that the first one is nicest, but I sure wouldn't kick the second one out of bed.
