I think this sibling of the above is even nicer. Kind of yellow/pastel purple. I'm pretty thrilled.

It's done great in the basket. Roots poking out all over.

growing nicely

Looooong stem on this Rick. Great colors as well.

Beautiful gloss to that dorsal, almost like it has been varnished.

Spaph · Mar 25, 2013

Great growing and flowering!

The plant looks tiny for a primulinum (which is always desirable) and great flowering.

Isn't there a variety name for this?

Ozpaph · Mar 25, 2013

purpurascens

Is it a case os prevalence, or just that the type is the album as a result of being introduced earlier. We certainly see them in roughly equal proportions in South Africa (that would harly be a representative sample though)

In Oz its all the yellow form (or I ignore the coloured ones)

I think in the wild the yellow form is predominant too.

At one point, the venustum album was more common than the coloratum one. I think its even now. I think its like a trend. It comes and goes.

Trithor · Mar 26, 2013

I don't own a venustum album or a primulinum album, only the coloured forms. As I said, South Africa won't be a representative sample. I am starting to feel the need for a shopping trip!

That's a stand out flower on a smallish plant Rick. Love the dorsals' rich colour. Another one of yours appreciating the basket!
