First andreettae for me

[MorandiWine]

Like the title says, this is the first one that I got to bloom. The spike was really short at three cm's. Flower is a bit 'off' but hey, got it to bloom so I am happy.

It has been open for three days now, dont think that it will flatten out anymore that it already has.

At least you got it to bloom. i killed my sdlgs. Thanks for sharing. Any cultural tips?

 

[SlipperFan]

Very pretty color.

Eric, treat it like a besseae but only shift the temp range 8-10F. I have it on a thermostatic controlled heat pad that once the temp drops below 60 it pops on.

I don't know. Can you post a photo of the mix and growing area? Thanks.

 

[MorandiWine]

Sure, will do tomorrow.

Ok

 

[naoki]

Congrats! It surely has gentle, and pretty color.

yep, love this color too !

 

[MaryPientka]

It's charming!

Congrats.
I've heard people say that andreetae likely wouldn't be a good parent because of the funky shape; I'd have to disagree based on the hybrid photos I saw in Eric's new phrag book. I would say it has a very desirable overall effect based on those few photos. It doesn't look like the shape is strongly inherited, but the color, mellowing and diffusion look very nice.
I'll have to take some pics of the pics (hope Olaf doesn't mind....) and post to get people's opinions

Where can I get the book?

I'm not sure. Eric got one when Olaf hand carried a handful of them on the plane to Canada. Very heavy, shipping would be a lot

Well done!

 

[ditrujillo]

Actually the book was $138 including shipping from Germany which I thought was very reasonable. I got it two days after I paid through PayPal

The color is wonderful. I bet the next blooming will be
outstanding. That soft pink is to die for!

 

[Phrag-Plus]

Nice one!

 

[SlipperKing]

It is very nice, congrats!

 

[cnycharles]

Olaf gave me permission to use his andreetae hybrid photos in a thread, I'll post links to his books in it

 

[MorandiWine]

Awesome!!!!!
