My Polyanthas in 2025

[GuRu]

Short after the beginning of the new year 2025 my P. rothschildianum opened his flower. I don't know why the strong plant produced only one single flower ... ?
But as a recompension the flower was quiet large .. 28,5 cm (11,2") from petaltip to petaltip. I know, the stance of the petals could be better in the eyes of judges ... but I enjoy the flower even with this fault.

Paph. haynaldianum made it a lot better ... four of five flowers are already open only one is still in bud.

Both are very nice. I really like the old school look of the roth.

Assuming the roth has good roots, it may be that a cold snap triggered flowering prematurely.

May be only one flower but it’s a good looking one. Guess haynaldianum made up for the deficit.

Next flower should be way better

* Can contain it no longer *
He may not have the best posture but 11in is 11in.

It's often in life ... size is what matters.

Congratulations on both! Any roth flower is an achievement. Yours looks clean and sharp. How many leaves are on the growth?

Thanks BrucherT ... the plant has two adult fans and a third one spiking. The fan with the flower has 8 leaves and the other adult one 9 leaves. The leafspan is between 65cm (25.6") and 69 cm (27.2").

The plant is in good conditions, looks healthy and strong. Though I didn't take it out of the pot I can exclude a root problem the same way as I can exclude a cold snap. The plants sits year round in the living room with quite constant temperatures....
