Darwinara Charm x Neofinetia falcata

[SlipperFan]

One of my purchases at the Grand Valley Orchid Society this past weekend. The vendor used to work at Hoosier's but now has his own business.

Really a nice Darwinara backcross.
It is difficult to find these hybrids in Europe.

Best greetings

Beautiful; what a delicate blue.

It was sad to see Hoosier's close! That's a beautiful hybrid! Thanks for the picture!

Nice one, Dot! I really like the consistent overall colour. These are great little hybrids!

Olaf, I had some from New World Orchids for sale, however, they were very popular! Glenn is coming back here in June and could bring more if anyone wanted one.

Here is a photo of one of the ones that bloomed for me:

That's beautiful, Dot. Great buy! Is it fragrant?

Wow Dot! If I saw that I might actually be tempted to try them again. Thanx for postiing. Who is the vendor?

Yes, a nice Neo fragrance.

shakkai, I actually purchased two plants. Erik Michel thinks the second one will be pink. We'll see.

I'm hoping that one of the ones I have will be the yellow with the pink tips!! Hopefully we'll see this summer.

That's funny, I know Erich. Thanx.
I was wondering if he had taken a large part of Hoosier's jewel orchids but they seem to have gone to Texas and Michigan!

My understanding is that Erich purchased all the flasks (he told me that he had done most of the work on them). The jewel orchids that are in Michigan are at Rob's LittleFrog Farm. Erich had a variety of plants at the GVOS show last weekend -- I suspect they came from other sources than Hoosiers. He will be at the Greater Lansing Orchid Society's show the last weekend in February, so it will be interesting to see what he brings.

Yes, a nice Neo fragrance.

Thanks, Dot!

shakkai, a yellow one with pink tips would be gorgeous, I think.

Yes, like those. Rob had one at GVOS that looked similar to an alba discolor, but was very fragrant. I don't remember the name.

Here's the other one I purchased that was supposed to be pink. Well, it is white with pink tips, so I guess that counts. It's cute, anyway. And very fragrant.

Intermediate temperatures and bright light (south window). But don't forget, I just purchased these plants, so I won't know if these conditions are right until they bloom again. But that's how I'm growing all my Neos and Neo crosses.
