Awesome!! Congrats!! :)
Great photos of beautifully bloomed lowii and roth!
How many backups do you have of this historic roth?
I miss having lowii. Maybe next year
Or it just isn't a stable true semi-alba.
The blushing could be random with or without environmental cues affecting it. I don't see how Kelp has anything to do with flower colors?
Or it has mutated to this color.
Based on the plant size, I assume that this is your very first time blooming this...
Thank you!
I bought Mormodes rolfeana (yellow flower form) from a Peruflora at Dresden Show last month. Bare root leafless plant but looks like it is starting a spike.
Has your Catasetum pileatum ever made female flowers for you? Do you have it under artificial light?
Even that example given by In-Charm isn't really a mini. Maybe a compact sized plant but after injecting helenae twice in the making of it, the flower count has been sacrificed greatly obviously.
I have also seen this same cross at a Taiwan show and the plants were even bigger!
The smallest...
I saw a bunch of delenatii album in bud sold in rockwool at Dreden show last month.
Apparently they do well in it but I felt uneasy about it.
mmmm I might try some of the common plants as a trial in my conditions.
My semi-alba plant is sending up three new growths. I hope to see at least one flower but this may be the wrong time of the year to expect flowers on this species. Time will tell.
