Problem with my camera, I used another and it's why the photo is crappy.

It's the 2014 bloom. I broke the spike last year and it was a good thing for the plant. It bloomed again this year with a very fast growth.
Flower is 27cms and dorsal size 6,2cms with good color, form and presentation. Probably my best roth. and my last too for 2014.

That is wonderful Fabrice. This cross seems to have had a fair amount of variation in quality. Some others I have seen have been fairly average. Your one is top shelf - the best I'd say from this cross I have seen.

 

[Fabrice]

Thank you.

To be honest, I have doubt about some other plants bloomed and shown here. Not sure it's from the same cross.
Xavier told in the past the plants sold in Taiwan were from several crosses, some of them gave good to very good plants and other were not very good and sometimes crappy.

One thing is sure, I'm lucky!

There's no way that's a sib of my GV x DF. I promise you that. Yours is amazing! Lovely to see the progress on this one. Thanks!

All the gv x df i've seen were pretty bad ... This plant is excellent. Whatever you do don't divide it. This plant is too nce to risk!

 

[SlipperKing]

If you want to make seeds, I can send you pollen of my best roths (you know which one). that would make a fantastic cross! :drool:
