Phrag. Eumelia Arias

[silence882]

My Eumelia Arias (kovachii x schlimii) has finally bloomed on its second growth. This is the first to bloom from a flask I got from Orchid Inn 5 years ago. Many of the plants spiked on their first growths last year but they all blasted. I think it was too little light. I've got 4 more in low/high spike coming.


The bloom has a NS of 6.9 cm.


The plant photo is deceptive as the spike leans toward the camera so it makes the bloom look larger than it really is.

Yeah, that pouch is great. Will be anxious to see the others when they bloom.

Good growing. I have one that's never even pretended
to spike for me. Anything special you do that promotes
blooming?

Sweet flower.

What worked for me is curling up on the ground in the fetal position while gently rocking back and forth muttering 'Why won't you bloom'.

I can do that! Angst is my specialty. I can't wait to see
the others bloom. Congrats.

Forget that! I will pay him to come roll around on my floors!

ROTFLMAO@Eric! BTW, how's your half of my plant
doing? Any inclination to spike? Talking dirty to it yet?
It won't be shocked, believe me (as donald says).

 

[NYEric]

Which plant was that? :crazy: we receive about 5 - 10 plants per week.

$400/hour. No guarantees.
