philippinense 'Early Riser' 2024

[tnyr5]

There were three spikes, but I knocked a bud off one & decided to just cut it. Flowers on the right side aren't done twisting yet.

Gorgeous! My favorite multifloral species!

Awesome growing! I am very envious of your skill.

Do you have a photo of the whole plant? The plant looks quite compact from what I can see -- which would be cool.

Also, do you have any info on the parentage of the cross?

Thanks

Gorgeous flowers and 2+1 flower spikes at the same time is great and shows the good state she's in and the vigour.

That dorsal! Just wow.

Thanks all. It's not the biggest or best phil, but it has great color, good vigor, and bloomed super fast from flask (less than 3 years.). It is indeed pretty compact, with "three" spikes in a 5in pot with a 16in leafspan. I remade Harbinger's Dark Ages (x wilhelminae) and Lebaudyanum (x haynaldianum) & have a bunch of seedlings growing out.
Plans for this blooming are to cross with anitum & real adductum, and maybe do a species outcross if I can find some good phil pollen.

As you can see, quite manageable.

Beautiful multifloral - well done!

 

[Duck Slipper]

Very nice philippinense!

Any chance you are going to make a selfing of these?

I love it. It is perfect. Love a division someday.

I doubt I'll self it; it's really not good enough for that. Needs a shot of something with longer petals and better twists.

 

[TyroneGenade]

Growing space-stressed people like myself would much prefer breeding for smaller, compact plants with OK petals rather than bigger plants with awesome petals... but I understand you point.

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Pretty!

How long did the petals get?

 

[tnyr5]

Let's find out *gets ruler*

 

[tnyr5]

The longest petal is 17.1cm.

The longest petal is 17.1cm.

Respectable length for a small plant.
