Cymbidium sinense "He Zhi Hua"

[s1214215]

Hi

Here are new pics of this clone in flower in February this year. I smells amazing - like freesias and some other perfume I can not identify. I got it from China, but was told it is a clone made in Taiwan.

I selfed it and just harvested the pods. I have a lot of seed to spare and can swap or send some if anyone wants this. I was told the seed will produce percentage of varigated plants, but with variable amounts of varigation. Still, the plant is wonderful for the blooms and perfume alone.

very elegant and traditional.

I wonder if the seedlings will be variegated as well

I have been told that a good percentage in a flask will be varigated in varying degrees. Some the same or better and others less so. Still, I love it for the blooms and fragrance.

Hello,

Lovely plant and I would love some seed!

I have some sinense in flask at the moment and am having terrible success in getting differentiation. If anyone has grown these up in flask please PM me! I have a medium mix which was published to cause differentiation and am still hoping it will. My munroanum prot-rhizomes finally began to differentiate once the they reached the bottom of the flask. The sinense and lianpan are still a long way off from the bottom of the flask. In future I will replate onto thinner medium.

(If anyone is interested, I can forward you the article and my medium recipe.)

Sure, I am happy to share some seeds. PM me and I will send some. Cliokchi I am very interested in Phal lowii "alba" or "blue" forms. I have the pink in flask, but am still keen to get the others. They are nearly impossible to find though. I am amazed you managed to get both.
