Yes but if it wasn't for rotting out its first two growths it would have bloomed two years ago.

Its 3 growths now.

Nicely colored petals, Rick.

 

[emydura]

That looks to be a great clone Rick. Nice petals and I love the dorsal.

 

[Ozpaph]

very nice clone

Thanks. Its Sam's Choice X Jeanie (AM/AOS) . I expect the dorsal will reflex back some more, but I couldn't wait to get a pic in.

 

[Wendy]

What wonderful colour! I can't wait to see a photo of them all open. Thanks for the sneak peek!

 

[SlipperFan]

The pouch color looks more burgundy than green. If that's so, I like one like that!

 

[abax]

I don't usually comment on multis because I don't grow
them, but this one got my attention. It's gorgeous.

I love parishii. I had one in a basket 20 years ago but I stupidly sold it. Now I have 2 tiny seedlings to start all over again...
They do very nicely suspended in wooden baskets.

I was wondering whether the dorsal had set. Jeanie is a great clone with a high flower count (10 flowers a spike).

Mick - what medium did you use in the basket? Can you give a bit more details on how you grew them.

Yes, getting rid of your plant wasn't wise. They are so hard to come by here.

[nathalie]

[phraggy]

I like this one not only for the blooms but for the colour of them.

They aren't easy to come by in the US either, at least when you are looking for them:wink:

They seemed to be everywhere when I wasn't interested years ago, and then disappeared from the face of the earth when I got interested. Reputation was the big plants held up good, but were difficult to breed and tough to raise from seed.

 

[Rick]

All five open!!!





I'm pumped. Now to get pollen and breed it.:wink:

 

[Trithor]

Wow, Rick, that. Is a show stopper! Odd how this species never got the attention that it deserves (almost as if it was very common and not deemed worthy of attention?)

 

[youngslipper]

Agree with you Trithor, here in SA al I see are seedlings from plantae.

gorgeous rick!
