Here's one I haven't seen recently, Iantha Stage

[SlipperKing]

I shown the bud developing a month ago. Here is an opening flower. I mentioned this isn't the best clone BUT it does bloom on a single growth.
I love the green in this guy.

Nice one Rick. I like the dorsal. Iantha Stage is a great hybrid.

My Iantha Stage has as any many as 8 growths, some of them huge. But I still haven't flowered it. Hopefully one day.

David,
This plant is an odd one. It blooms on single growths. The first two times it only had one flower. Then I treated it wrong and it has been set back for last five years, approx. The hope is that it will improve as I add more growths!

very nice display Rick!!! What is the foliage about, size-wise? more sukh. or roth? Jean

 

[SlipperKing]

Jean, It looks like a gaint suk! I'll try to post a pic of the plant for you and Eric, of course!
