Flamingo Gold

[Eric Muehlbauer]

This just bloomed for me...got it from Glen Decker. The pic was taken before the bloom fully opened...if I can't get micranthum to bloom for me, at least i can get this...Flamingo Gold is concolor x micranthum, but the only trace I see of concolor is in the yellow wash in the petals, and the staminode...thankfully the micranthum pouch dominates over the concolor "cashew".....

hmm, would have expected more from the concolor. very pretty though, i got one from him too, better go look for a sheath.

i love the pouch BTW

 

[cdub]

looks like concolor shortened the peduncle too. Nice and compact!

 

[Greenpaph]

Wow! micranthum is quite dominant!

 

[Sangii]

what Peter said !

 

[TADD]

cdub beat me to it... I was going to say how short the spike is from the concolor.

[papheteer]

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Here it is, a few weeks after opening...still great, but all traces of yellow have vanished....Take care, Eric

still looks great Eric! thanks

 

[toddybear]

I like the short stem...so many parvi hybrids have such LONG stems...makes for less-than-ideal presentation. The short one on yours looks great.
