Thanks for the comments Leslie. I’m hoping for some floral improvements in the coming years as the plant adjusts to the new grow room.

Wow good luck with the flasking. There should be some stunning clones in the next generation, David

When hybrid phrags are growing well with good roots, they can take quite high light and feed levels.

At the moment, about 6pm.

From around 2pm

Use whatever lights you end with as a starting guide only. Watch the plants and adjust the light levels as they develop. There isn’t a ‘correct’ light level for each species or hybrid. These are a few plants of the hybrid ‘lovely Lynne ‘ growing in a west facing window where they receive full...

Just one of my large semi albas has decided to flower this year, the other is growing instead. They were originally from the Fischers and are huge. Despite the fact that the petals are only spread at 90 degrees, the flowers are just under seven inches (17cm) across. They are eight inches (20cm)...

In the past, it has grown like a trianae, during the summer. As this plant never flowered, I’m not sure about that side. I do have another plant, from Asendorfer which may or may not be a mericlone. That did flower once in the winter. That too is now growing better in the new grow room. It...

Now with the second lead in bloom.

If it is indeed a trianae alba then it’s one of the finest around. This is a division from Max Strauss that I’ve had for several years growing slowly, but it’s not taken off until we had the new grown room. It arrived in there just over a year ago and I was afraid that with the new lead having...

Very nice. Well developed flammea markings.

Lovely! My huge semi alba is also just opening!

That’s truly a stunning plant! You must be very proud David, congratulations.

Terry, I’d never thought of that! Jerry never mentioned it but it’s certainly worth a try. He finds it works wonders on seedlings. David

Yes, exactly the same.

This is the most advanced clone and it was the first one to flower at the very beginning of this thread. After I had repotted them all, I noticed that the new growths were quite a bit paler than the older ones. To counteract this I’m using an old trick from the Fischers, concentrated foliar...

Good luck with finding that clone! Steve Christofferson or the Chadwick’s might have it.

Eric, I’ve 25 plants of lovely Lynne and only plan on keeping the best four or five when they’ve flowered this coming autumn….

Lovely blooms! Is this form quite rare?

Oh wow, just stunning!
