Stonei X2

[Rick]

This P. stonei bloomed this past winter. So was kind of surprised to have 2 growths spike for summer (the normal time to bloom) I pollinated a couple of the blooms with my other stonei that I posted last month.

This is the stonei with the most twisted petals I have seen so far. And I have seen alot from plants collected before CITES to specimens with high quality in Taiwan like the 'CK' clone and its progenies.

I agree, pretty unique. I got it from Matt Gore years ago as a blooming size division. So I think its a pretty old plant. I've selfed it too, as well as making some outcrosses.

Excellent clone. It seems that you give a lot of light to it.

I agree -- I don't remember that stonei has such twisty petals normally.

This plant in particular or the species? I've only seen a rare internet photo with twists like this.

This plant always has flowers like this.:wink:

This Orchids Limited clone is pretty twisty

The species. Not even OL's twists are like yours. Your twists look like philippinense. I love it!
