Oh My Holy God!!! I have never seen this quality before in cultivation. Must to use it to make Wössner Black Wings (Johanna Brukhardt) crossed with a stunning rothschildianum. Save the pollens and froze it! I wish i hade one. Thanks for sharing. Could you post a whole plant pic with better exposure?

Anitum is a mistery for me ( to bloom, even to keep alive). Great, congrats! If it is not a secretary thing, please share your cultivation tricks about this sp. Best reg.: istvan

I guess the anitum is pretty nice , but I am salivating at the many greenhouses you have in the background , did i count 8 ? that is just from one angle of the picture, you probably have more than 8 ?

Another one is about to open. It seems better than #1.

Thank you for the comments. I wish to share my response to some of you:-

If you pay US$20,000 for it, I am happy to sell this for you including the CITES and shipping/packing fee.

Since I took the photo in the evening time so that the light intensity is a bit week. Will post updates when I go into the greenhouse on the morning of this Sunday. Regarding to your suggestion on making hybrids, or even selfing or crossing, although there is one striking roths in my greenhouse, and in bloom now, I dare not to make seeding since space is extremely limited in Hong Kong. It is nearly impossible for me to place hundreds or even thousands of seeding in such a small area.

All anitums I bought are adult plant, and almost adapt the manipulated environment. Nevertheness, I flower them by myself. I would consider adult anitum is not extremely difficult to cultivate provided that you can provide the right environment - high humidity, good ventilation, warm temperature, medium to low light and water heavily. All of my anitums are placed in front of the water cooling panels where is the darkest and coolest place in my greenhouse.

Not all the greenhouses are belong to me, I just rent half of a greenhouse shown in the photo.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, you are doing a good job

My goodness, I've never seen one that dark. I'm looking
forward to seeing the blooms fully open.

Look at that bud!!

 

[Camellkc]

#2 is a very nice anitum in my opinion.

Plus a shot for the 2 anitums in bloom successfully.
