That is a stunning hybrid. Very nice!

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

Very nice! I am the one that made the cross. I have not seen too many that have branched yet, so this is a keeper :clap::clap: Robert

Oh, yay Robert! Wonderful cross. I can hardly wait till mine blooms now.

That's lovely, Jennifer. Please do post another photo when the branches flower.

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

Jennifer, I was wondering how large your plant is?

 

[jjkOC]

Hi Yoyo_Jo, the plant has 5 growths and total leaf span is ~55cm (22").

Jennifer, I was wondering how large your plant is?

 

[jjkOC]

I hope that it will branch! if so I will definitely post photos!!!

That's lovely, Jennifer. Please do post another photo when the branches flower.

Very nice! Post again when it has branched.

Valenzino is correct. Your lowest bud is the one at the top. the others are branches that take longer to develop.

Good catch guys. That honestly never crossed my mind. What is the parentage of this cross? (species percentages)

Second bloom!

Here is the second bloom on the La Vivace Epicure Phyllis D. Turner. I count a total of 5 more buds on this inflorescence. Hopefully none of the flowers will fall before the remainder open!

I also bought this cross from OL but my plant is not as big. I'll have to be patient. The flowers are gorgeous in that last photo. :smitten:

 

[jjkOC]

Thanks Goldenrose and Shiva! I am really looking forward to the show!

 

[SlipperKing]

That's really a great cross Robert. I like the pinks and yellow mixing.

I'm jealous.

I like the white inside the pouch! Reminds me of spats!

Ok, well, I may just have to get me one of these!

BTW, when those perfect blooms suddenly jump off the plant, I float mine in a small glass dish of water and enjoy them for several more days or more!
