Well, it doesn't help that you guys have me convinced that every bump, blemish, blister, and bent stem is an outbreak of the plague!

:rollhappy:

I think this place is unhealthy for first time Chiu Hua Dancer owners.

About the question you asked (this will be like a blind leading another blind); I don't think the petal length will be affected unless you put the plant directly in front of the fan (and probably have the fan set to "jet engine"), but lets wait for the more knowledgeable people to arrive.


Btw, can you tell it to speed things up a bit? I want to see it.

 

[SlipperKing]

It's just an optical illusion. I do have a question, though. Will vigorous airflow shorten the petals?

I seem to think that had something to do with my sandies and short petals.

getting there

 

[troy]

Oh my god light it on fire!!! J.k., thats nice!!! I love this cross from my experience keeping the humidity around 70 °/. And keeping ur nights cool will lengthen yur bloom life and help lengthen the pedals

 

[NYEric]

Nice. You should make a stop/action sequence video of the opening!

 

[tnyr5]

That's....beyond my level of patience lol.

 

[The Mutant]

Oooh... Looks promising. :drool:

 

[NYEric]

That's....beyond my level of patience lol.

They have these camera units now-like $60, that does that. Kelly's korner was selling them. I will get one after I stop buying plants!

 

[tnyr5]

first look at the dorsal

 

[NYEric]

Paph porn!

 

[tnyr5]

Lol, so what are "good" flower dimensions for this hybrid?

 

[tnyr5]

Welp, here it is. I really hope the petals learn to twirl more on the next blooming. Pouch is a little wonky too. Great color, though. Not sure if the petals are done growing yet... NS: 5.8cm x 26.5cm, Petals: 1.1cm x 25cm, Dorsal 2.6cm x 6cm

 

[The Mutant]

Is it possible to see a picture of it in daylight? And my guess is that the petals might twirl some after the flowers have been open for a while (the petals on my MK twisted quite nicely after being almost straight when the flowers were recently opened).

 

[Justin]

they will still twist up...awesome plant for sure!

 

[MorandiWine]

I would love to get one of these, just dont know if I can spare the bench space ;-)

Much better color on yours!

 

[Trithor]

I have been visiting this thread every few days to check up on progress. This morning was a bit like Christmas!
Lovely colour, not done opening and maturing yet. Very good potential. Congratulations.

 

[SlipperKing]

I agree with Gary, great potential. See, what a great surprise that can come from "small buds"!

 

[tnyr5]

Oh, I never said these buds were tiny lol. But it is interesting to note that I picked the plant with the thinnest leaves that was there. I'll explain why when I get home from my weekend trip.
