More anticipation: thaianum '#1' x sukhakulii

[Cklinger]

Beautiful!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Charming.

4 more are spiking

Here's #2 with a nice pic. NS 8.7, DW 3.3, PW 2.7View attachment 39640

Interesting. Here is the reciprocal of the cross. those with the thaianum as parent seem to have more rounded petals

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Great colors, and I love the staminode as well!

 

[tnyr5]

8 of them in various stages of spiking now, most have double buds. One is even trying for three.

I love them! Very different from what I might have expected for that cross. It's good that most of them have such well formed flowers, with the parents not being closely related.

 

[tnyr5]

Oh there's definitely the odd crippled bloom, but most are at least decent enough that the cuteness factor overpowers any form deficiency.

Another nice one bloomed, this is the smallest one at 7.5cm NS, but with very nice color. (The plant actually is a funky yellowish green like the pic shows.)

 

[Ross]

Very interesting that the reciprocal's difference in shape of the flowers (most notably the petals), carries through consistently on both. I like both shapes, but have a fondness for the rounded petals on yours.

I have bloomed (thaianum X vietnamense) and just got flasks of the reciprocal back from the lab. I am looking forward to comparing them as well.

exquisite pattern and color

 

[Theodoreorchidking]

Is it sequential?

 

[tnyr5]

Some hold both at once, some are sequential.

 

[NYEric]

I would get one.

 

[mar11]

love it great work!

 

[lori.b]

I would happily have one of those in my collection!

 

[paphlove]

The first 2 flowers are very nice!

 

[tnyr5]

I'm sure Ross has some from his grex left, for those who want one.

 

[Just1more]

I’ll have to contact him. I need a replacement of one I got last year and it DIMPED.

 

[Phragper]

I would gladly make room for 1 of those

 

[tnyr5]

Biggest flower so far. NS 9.5cm, Dorsal 3.5cm, second bud on the spike. All from a 15 cm plant.
