Bel Royal

Well, if kolo is a species we should have left in the jungle, I don't want to know what ppl think about ooii. Nevertheless these species (and also supardii btw) are botanically interesting. And this is a very important thing for me and for many of you guys on ST, right?

that's right

while others can be improved with better parent selection.

Gary I think this is more the case with recent Bel R's blooming.
Mine is similar to yours

Yes Rick, I remember your Bel Royal post well (partly because I was looking at it the other evening again). I think these more recent BRs are great. I am very happy to have BR in my greenhouse, and will be posting pics of another clone in a week or so.

agree, and i do grow kolo. I actually put sanderianum in the same category. petals aside, sand does not have the most aesthetically pleasing flowers and is generally a poor hybridizer, but it is botanically interesting and very much worth growing (a blooming sand does have that "wow" factor though with the petals...)

i grow supardii too...the plants i grew from flask are just about to start spiking i hope. i have never seen supardii flowers in person so i am super excited to witness them!
