Moustache hybrid

[SlipperKing]

This is a cross of Moustache X Shen Yi Tiger. Very confused multi. The spike wants to grow like a roth spike but the flowers don't want to cooperate! Single growth with 5 flowers.

Very grainy flowers

Wow, nice mix of roth., philipp., sand. and praestans!!! Jean

 

[Shiva]

Very nice flowers.

The color is great on yours. I have one in bllom right now too. Single growth but I only got three flowers. Trade you. LOL

Overcrowding! It's a paph-multi interpretation of a NYC subway!

Eric, you have really been on a roll with your posts here lately. What the hell have you been smoke'in? I want some of it.:drool:

It can only get better! (Rick's Paph & NYEric's comments )

Slippertalk needs a "Like" button because this is hilarious!
I really love those flowers even if they're a little crowded.

That is nice. To overcome overcrowding, next time when the the bud is just showing, put it under less light. It should work to make it grows with longer spike and no bunching. Good luck

Am I the only one worrying about that plant? 5 flowers on a single growth? Isn't that sort of flowering asking for trouble? (never mind how great these flowers look....).

Hopefully it has another growth started. That is a lot for a single growth to support. They are nice big flowers and will probably be arranged better on the next blooming. :clap:

 

[SlipperKing]

OK, let me go look at this plant. You two have got me a bit concerned

 

[SlipperKing]

OK, Took some basal shots. You all tell me if its weak and won't make it.

 

[Wendy]

Beauty plant! It's sure to have a new start soon.

 

[SlipperFan]

I might be concerned enough about the brown spots to unpot it, treat it with a fungicide or hydrogen peroxide, and repot it in fresh mix.

 

[W. Beetus]

That looks like a very healthy plant! Nice blooms.

I can do that Dot. The large spot on the left side of the PIC is a "fold" line. Where, when shipping the plant it's "rolled and folded up " in newpaper.

:drool::drool: Looks like one strong growth that would support the blooming.
I'd say the next blooming will be better for flower arrangement as others have said.

 

[SlipperKing]

Thanks all. I'll have to put a note on a tag to watch on the next blooming. "spike habit"
