Nice! But I think you snaped off the picture too early. Post another after the flower matures more. Please!

That would look great on a sangii! Thanx for sharing.

Nice color! What conditions do you grow this beauty in?

 

[jtrmd]

I grow it in low/medium light on the north side of the gh.Temps no lower than 60f in winter,and no higher than 80f in summer.Watered once a week in winter.In the summer I might have to water 3x a week if its bright and sunny out for long periods.

Interesting. You might have something there. It's certainly not every day someone finds sangii an attractive parent. Onto tigrinum might be nifty too. Love those primaries!

Have a Xanthophyllum in bloom now. A gorgeous primary of hookerae X mastersianum.

 

[jtrmd]

Tigrinum would be nice.Its going to be awhile before I have a tigrinum in bloom.Anyone have any pollen???

 

[SlipperFan]

That is just too cool!

I like this one a lot.

How long have you been growing this plant and how many growths?
