Tiger Apple

[orchidlife]

This is a cross of appletonianum x tigrinum that just opened for me. Its still a baby plant but the flower is just stunning in person

It shows some nice traits from both parents... a very nice hybrid.

This was a good idea for a hybrid. The pink-violet in the petal of each, and the markings of the hood have reinforced each other very well. I expect the glossiness of the appletonianum has not been captured well in photography. Kudos on you excellent taste in hybrids!

That is nice!

Mine is currently in bud. And has like 4 to 5 growths. The bud halted for around 3 months before it started growing again. Not sure what I did.

What are your conditions?

Thats strange that the bud halted for a while!!
I grow inside under lights. This is/was on a 3ft shelf with 2 medium 3ft botanical leds. Temps are high70s to low 80s days and high 60s low 70s nights and humidity ranges from 30 to 60% this time of year. Water as I can with a stupid amount of orchids, about every 4-6days. Fert every watering with Klite VERY lightly and every once in a while I use Grow More 20-20-20
