Bud watch: Wössner Kolorand x rothschildianum

[tnyr5]

6.5 years of my life from pollination to spike, 5 years from flask. These took a lot longer than I expected, but things were set back for quite a while last year. I suspect I could do it in 3.5 - 4 years from flask, if I had the chance to try again. Anyway, in spike at last on a 31in wide plant. A second one is pushing as well.

Taking bets on how ugly it will be

Randsii x kolopakingii x roth, thats gonna be a very large plant, looking forward to see the outcome, size & flower count should be high

 

[tnyr5]

Two are going to be really large, the rest are manageable: 26-32in leafspan

Would take me 10 years from flask... And feel like 50.

Hope they give you a high flower count. No guts, no glory.

I'm expecting 4-5 on first bloomers, 8-9 on full adults.
Mom & Dad on their first blooms, so you don't have to go searching through my old threads:

I bet they aren't gonna be all that ugly,,,maybe just a little bit fugly.
I kinda like departures like that! I am very curious to see what you made.
Please, don't mess it up between know and the big reveal, you're on the homestretch now! Maybe that neighbor needs to get stuck in Panama for a while--

 

[tnyr5]

I doubt they'll be ugly; I was teasing. I suspect they will look a lot like Gemstone's Randschild.

maybe even better than that
