What's in bloom today?

Bob in Albany N.Y. · Jan 11, 2012

First off, I'd like to thank Aquacorps for donating these plants to me. Both of these plants came into spike and bloom under my care. The first one is a multi growth plant that was breed at the Orchid Zone. There are 8 to 10 growth and it has bloomed a number of times before. You may notice part of the plastic butterfly clip holding the flower on the right side. Sorry about that. I didn't notice it until just now. In any case the natural spread on the flower is 7 c.m.

The next plant is one that I love. I would assume it's a division as it has a clonal name. The plant is a single growth primary hybrid with a leaf span of 9 inches. The length of the stem is quite impressive at 16 inches. The natural spread on the flower is 8 c.m. And, yes Eric, it does indeed have a light fragrance that it received from the malipoense parent.

This is a close up of the flower.

Both are nice, the yellow in the first one is really cool. Huge props on the Fanaticum.

Hi Bob, my Fanaticum "Big Boy" is in spike now as well. I acquired my piece from Nick Tannaci. Hopefully mine blooms out as nice as yours . D

If you ever tire of Big Boy, I could make some space.
Nice pop!

Nice, did Jason give you these before he left? Thanks for the fragrance info.

NYErci, I think you have Aquacorps mixed up with someone else. Russ, gave me a good portion of his collection as he needed a break from growing. He still checks in on the forum often, but just doesn't have the time to grow at this time. He has other work and other interests that are taking up his time.
