Guarianthe aurantiaca 'Jean' AM/AOS

[naoki]

I think bullsie hasn't been ST for a while, but I got this from her about a year ago. Just in case she happens to stop by here. Thank you, bullsie!

It is originally a division from Troy Meyers (MC499). Other than that I don't know the history of 'Jean'. It is still recovering from the transition, but I like orange flowers!

I like the color, but wonder at the reason for it getting an AM. Great plant to grow as a specimen if you've got the space.

Yes, I also wonder why it is AM/AOS, too (well, to be honest, I don't care too much about the artificial AOS standard). But I admit that the pseudobulbs became smaller due to the transition last year. So hopefully, it will become stronger soon.

A nice one !!!! Jean

It is quite a bit better this year (10+9 flowers instead of 5), and pseudobulbs back to normal sizes.

Lovely species can makes a stunning specimen if you have the space, but makes mesmile when I see them in bloom.
