hirsutissimum album

[labskaus]

That was a pleasant surprise when it showed a sheath last winter. First bloom on a seedling I've been growing up for 4 years. From a selfing of an awarded Taiwanese cultivar, nat. spread 12,5 cm.
Certainly the flower in my GH that got me most excited this season. Enjoy!

That's very nice 4 years from seedling to bloom is quite something!

Dear Carsten,
congratulations.
Could you show us more detailed the staminode. Normally the hirsutissimum clones have always brownish hairs at the base. That is the reason why the albino of hirsutissimum was never described officially.
Could you show us also a picture of the backside with the ovary, if it is hairy or glabrous?

Best greetings

Olaf

Did you find growing the alba form was any different than the regular color form?
