Here is an update on what is to be expected to show up on this forum in the coming weeks.

Pleine formosana alba Clara

Pleione aurita

Pleione ??? ( Was told that it would be another clone of formosana but I think it's some sort of hybrid. )

Pleione limprichtii

Pleione pleionoides

A couple of the Pleione's don't seem to open their flowers fully. For instance the NOID and the formosana alba clara MC.

However the aurita developed was in a big bud yesterday but today when I came back from work it was allready open.

No pictures this time but I've stored my Pleione's in the basement.

I unpotted the Pleione's in the bigger pots and I'm very pleased with the root growth that I encountered. Of course the roots were old and shrivlled but a good network was formed this growing season.

Seems that my substrate mix of spagnum / peat / bark / perlite / river sand actually worked
