fischeri 'Purple Adipose'

[Silvan]

a bit cupped this time around. But, it's the first flower on that spike that hasn't blast, so I'll take it!

first flower on the 4N version... the staminoid shield look like it fused with the lip... weird..

fischeri 'Purple Adipose', schlimii, fischeri 4N

Second flower on both fischeri

Lovely, congratulations.

A beautiful trio.....especially the fischeri 'Purple Adiopose'!

That first one is a diploid?

You mean the chubby one is the regular fischerii while the 4N is actually smaller and skinner?

Thanks guys!

Yup! I bought this one about two years ago from Piping Rock Orchids. The tag only says 'selected' x sib.

The 4N is still very young with a leafspan of roughly around 4 inches. So I believe that it will get better with age.

Beautiful. We bloomed out a schlimii which is almost certainly 4N. Very fat leaves, staminode was much larger, but the flower looked like your second one.
Flower was larger, I think but form was terrible. I want to see it bloom again.

Thanks guys!

Cool! Now I know where to go if my fischeri blooms out as something else.

I agree, #1 is #1.

 

[abax]

Love the fuzz and color of #1.

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Great 'Purple Adipose' !!!! lovely flowers!!!! Jean

 

[eteson]

Great to see. love the fat one!

some of the plants of this cross (Select x sib) from Glen would be also 4N. I got from him some seedlings and a couple of them are most likely 4N. I have been unable of getting consistent chromosome numbers from them but the stromatic cells are close enough to the size of a 4n fischeri. Your plant looks very much like those plants... leaves are much thicker and shorter than in other fischeri plants.

Great 'Purple Adipose'!!! Jealous!!!

 

[Silvan]

Thanks all!
I guess that getting a 4N plant by selected line breeding is the way to go for flower quality ....

Delightful, but put that thing on a diet

Adipose is the diet
The fat just walks away!
