new niveum

[goldenrose]

This is one a several niveums I got from Paphiness, from Thailand stock.

Never thrilled when horns sprout - oh well, there's a couple more in bud!

May be those little horns say "dont touch me". Still a very nice flower.

 

[Damas]

I like it ! I am sure they'll be no horns next time.

niveum #2

... well I'm doing something consistent, I've got horns on this one too!
We had a cool, wet spring, then a week of upper 80's-90's and now a few days of 65!

Here's a side by side with #1.

Rose are you using any Malathion for pest control? A friend would get simiular results on budded complexs after spraying.

I had one of those little horns on the pouch of my niveum too. Seems to be more predominant in niveums? Otherwise they look really nice.

Must be a Midwest thing! oke:

Nope. I've been on a regular program of enstar II & decathon which was last applied April/May. The one thing I noticed is after the first one was in the house 7-10 days the horns lessened. What's the difference? Lower light, lower temps, less humidity, maybe more watering. Does this make any sense? I don't think so.
