Rosalie dixler x kovachii pre-view

[Bjorn]

To my knowledge these are the first pictures of this cross, and I am looking forward to see them open. The plant was received from Alfredo Manrique in May 2012 at that time a small plant supposedly 2 years out of flask.

The first Picture is taken April 24th

the next one was taken April 28th

There are 3 buds visible on a very stiff and upright stem, some 50cm long. Today, or tomorrw will reveal the flower. Keep posted!
