You do know that Stephen is a member here, right?

 

[abax]

What do you think is wrong with it? I rather like the delicate color.

 

[eaborne]

Nice spotting on the pouch!

Does it make a difference about the fact that I don't like the flower of my plant?

The fact that the color is too delicate, faded... drab. Usually, I prefer strong colors not bleached ones (with some exceptions) And the spotting on the staminode bothers me. I would have liked the pouch to be rounder, less pointy but the mirror effect with the sepal is interesting.

That's cool! Who named it? I missed that Stephen had a plant named for him.

It's a cross made by Jean-Pierre Faust (Phrag-plus)

I can't wait to see what he says when he blooms a plant named after you! :evil:

Seriously!! Why would he name a plant after me?? Common!

I didn't say anything about Mr Manza (whom I don't even know by the way), I just don't like that particular flower oke:

Jean-Pierre bloomed another plant of that cross and I loved the flower. Just wished mine was as beautiful...

 

[NYEric]

Okay. You never know, you may be a big Phrag celebrity some day.
BTW. Stephen is responsible for the slipperorchidsinfo website.

No prob Dot We'll arrange something if you'd like to have it!

I would. I'm a sucker for delicate colors.

I would. I'm a sucker for delicate colors.

I think that we share the same preferences... I love every cross with pearcei involved...

 

[silence882]

This is clearly the greatest single hybrid that has ever been produced in the history of orchid breeding.

I would have snapped it up if Dot hadn't beaten me to it. I have one from J.P. (thanks to Eric for getting it to me) but it just sits there growing leaves and refusing to bloom.

Oh, absolutely!

I should feel guilty...

 

[OrchidIsa]

OK so finally, I'm the only one not loving it, but I'm the one owning it! :rollhappy:

 

[Erythrone]

Actually, I think it is cute... but not very very very cute!... I am with you Isa!
