That takes the cake! Fantastic growing.

Extremely well done. Wow! Any tips on getting it to bloom?

they just take a while. mine just started blooming this year and i think i got them from Sam back in '19 or best case '20 just before the pandemic lockdown (i remember because he had just gotten back from a japan trip, and i flew out to see him, and went on a cruise the following weekend - in retrospect, so many things wrong with that situation )

I love hybrids like this. I wish I could bloom them. Thanks for sharing.

@richgarrison hope you are right. I have been thinking about giving up in these.

I think the latest F1's will be much better than the older batches, I will try another GN if the roth used are those coming out from at least four years ago.

It’s gorgeous… for a roth hybrid lol.

Is Sam still selling plants?

 

[richgarrison]

yes... just not a lot left

One more pic before the first bloom will wither. I don't think the it will wait for the new spike at the back. It would have been 9 flowers in all for the first bloom.

Merely adding in here for another example…. This one just opened behind a bunch of other stuff

That's so beautiful. Coming from the same parents, right? Love it, completely a different combination.

Now this takes the cake.

That's a real beauty, and surprisingly flat. Reliable bloomer or stingy?

Yes. Same grex. And first bloom

I appreciate the diversity of these hybrids. Thanks for posting! These photos give me hope. Hopefully they will be reliable bloomers once they hit maturity.

Darlene, I have a P. Rene Doll (Winston Churchill 'Indomitable' FCC/AOS x roth.'Tennys' AM/AOS division. It was a door prize at the last Paph Forum before Covid, so Jan. 2020 (new division). It's very happy growing, but has not bloomed. I read that they are fussy when divided and can take 3 or 4 years. So.... I also have a P. Michael Koopowitz that's a year older than the W.C. x roth that's not bloomed. Someone told me to put it on a heat mat. I have. It's happy growing, so we will see about it as well. I put the W.C. x roth on the heat mat, too. Don't know if that will help or hurt. I need to look these things up...

Thanks @southernbelle - Please keep me posted on how this goes for you. My phals and brachy paphs are on heating mats for the winter. My M. Koopowitz and other multiflorals bloomed on without it the mats, but maybe they would have bloomed sooner on the mats.
