PEOY 'Sublime Botanical Noodliness' 2020

[tnyr5]

Terrible blooming; the weather is just ridiculous this Spring in PA, which is making humidity swing wildly. Nevertheless, it did improve some.
Natural Spread is 10 x 37.8cm, Petals 1.5 x 35cm, Dorsal width 5.1cm unflattened, synsepal width 4.6cm unflattened.
Surprising that the dorsal grew by so much (4.4cm last time), but the petal width didn't grow at all. Sadly, there will be no pro pic this year because I can't get to Sanjay's house. Oh well, *gets the scissors*.

Well grown.

I think 5 flowers with a wide dorsal is not terrible at all. Last two PEOY awards had 3.5 cm wide dorsals and around 1.7 cm wide petals, both with 4 flowers. How long were the petals here? It was 31 cm for these two.

As for pictures, you can create a new studio at home! New project for the pandemic period!

Very nice. I only have 2 multis and this is one. If it ever flowers I'd be happy if it loos anything like this one.

Petal length is 35cm when measured over the shoulder and down like I was taught to do before I decided judging wasn't for me.
I cut the spike today. No point in wasting the plant's energy.

If you hadn't said anything about being disappointed about this years flowering, I would have thought you a very happy man, indeed!

 

[tomkalina]

That's beautiful; form and color better than most.

 

[littlefrog]

Very nice.

 

[Ozpaph]

I would be very excited to flower that; it awesome.

[richgarrison]

@tnyr5 i really agree you should give up on that one...

i believe i live pretty close to you... and could make room for your 'trash'...

 

[tnyr5]

This is as close as we'll get to a real pic. Sunlight and a black background let you see the real color.

 

[KateL]

I join the chorus of yays! Is that duct tape on the leaves??

 

[tnyr5]

Well the leaves wouldn't stay put!

 

[Guldal]

I am still somewhat at a loss here: what is that you don't like about the gorgeous flowering, Tony?

 

[tnyr5]

It's not bad; it's simply not flowering to its full potential.

I’ll give it another year. Then you can send to me lol...

 

[troy]

I was hoping this one was made with roth x sanderianum alba....oh well, maybe next time

 

[SlipperKing]

You can't get anymore then a FCC. The only improvement I see is CCM and that takes time. That's on you not the plant.

 

[Djthomp28]

Clearly my expectations are too high. CCM may take up too much bench space and time. I will take this under performer off your hands.
