roth season

[theorchidzone]

Inspired by Ramon, here are some of our better blooms of 2015.
Some of these max out with 7cm dorsals and 2.3cm width petals.
These are all first bloom seedlings. Some have 3 flowers. We hope for more on larger plants.
For whatever reason, the biggest ones (1 and 2) bloomed out with crowded spikes and the flower presentation was a little wonky. Better luck next time!

This one is a roth. Very interesting!

 

[Ryan Young]

Great looking roths!

 

[eaborne]

Fantastic!

 

[Justin]

wow those are just amazing. definitely some AQ material going on there...

i can't decide which i like the most but i am really partial to the downswept petal roths like 3, 11, 12, and 13.

Each roth. is a dream!

What's the size for each to have an idea?

 

[emydura]

Just amazing. I prefer the more horizontal petals myself - 7 and 14 for me.

 

[Migrant13]

Fantastic collection. I too like the horizontal ones best. Looks like they are taking flight.

I tried picking out my favorites by number like Justin, but each one has such a distinct characteristic I like it's hard to chose. I love the lighter colored one for some reason, and the thick downswept petals of 13. Great stuff going on there!

 

[Ozpaph]

wonderful!

I would like to know what insights you have from blooming this many roths from several crosses, for instance has the wide horizon parent given the best dorsal, or the red baron crosses have the better colour.

 

[Ozpaph]

We can we get some of these beauties 'Downunder'?

 

[SlipperFan]

These are gorgeous.

 

[SlipperKing]

P12 is real nice

I saw all the plants on eBay. Amazing. Too bad I don't really grow Multis. Thanks for sharing.
BTW, I sent OZ an email about the 2 large schlimii and a suhk album.

 

[Stone]

All great but 5 and 9 for me.

 

[Trithor]

What a great selection. I am hard pressed to choose a favorite as each has merit and features that make them winners, now to combine them in the next generation! Something for us all to look forward to!
