Anticipation...Chiu Hua Dancer 'Wacky Worm' AM/AOS x St Swithin 'Cracked Pepper'

[tnyr5]

Soon...
Probably would have had 4 if not for the fire incident. Still, 3 flowers on a 22in leafspan, just a touch over 4 years from deflasking and 6 yr from pollination... I'll take it.

Feel free to place bets on how ugly it will be, lol.

Haha I think it will be Rapunzel .

 

[tnyr5]

My money's on "hideous." Lol

 

[Justin]

That's impressive growing.

 

[SlipperKing]

Its really early but based on color development, its leaning towards St Swithin

Why are you cooking your Paph without a pan?

 

[Ozpaph]

looks dry

 

[tnyr5]

Looks like it will have long petals.

 

[Ozpaph]

stop touching it!

 

[Murray F]

Quickest way to break a bud off is to touch it

He knows what's up!

I guess its an inside thing but am I only one that wants to know why its on a cook top burner and what the "fire incident" is and why it decreased the bud count????

The cook top is just a convenient dark place & my neighbors had a basement fire that spilled fumes over into my basement.

Ok, there were just sooooooooo many questions in your first post.

[tnyr5]

Welp, here we are. NS 10.5 x 24, petals 1cm x 23cm, dorsal width 3.2cm. Might still lengthen a wee bit.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

It turned out beautifully as I predicted lol.

 

[emydura]

That has turned out pretty nice. Sanderianum has had a large influence, gigantifolium not so much.

 

[tnyr5]

Yeah, about the only traces of gig are the base color of the dorsal and the odd pouch color. Oh well.

I'm impressed how fresh it is and how pretty it looks.... despite your heat treatment on top the oven.
