From my greenhouse

[SlipperFan]

A few blooming plants:

Tolumnia Red Barry (Passionata Red x Red Belt):

Cyc. barthiorum -- very small flower, but the plant is very small and young.

My Phal. equestris:

Gorgeous pix, Dot, as always!

But the barthiorum isn't a barthiorum. The lip on Cyc barth has fingery things on it, and the flowers are lip up. I'd bet it's a Catasetum cross (due to the lip shape and the fact that it's lip-down), possibly onto Cyc barthiorum to explain the spots.

Great flowers Dot. I don't have a Tolum' or Cyc' but I do have an equestris I'm hoping to flower soon.

'AWESOME' Blooms and pics Dot, as always... Jim.

I love that cycnoches, whatever it is.

Very nice... Love the tolumnia... And BTW, just reminding you equestris is a phal...

I'll have to go look at the tag again. Maybe I didn't read it correctly.

-- thanks paphioboy. I did know that! (and fixed the post). My brain was fried last night when I posted these photos -- too much time at the computer!

Nice tolumnia, thanx for sharing. BTW, I have an Oeceoclades you might be interested in! :evil:

I just checked -- I read the tag in the pot next door -- crowded conditions already! This plant is Clowesetum Rebecca Northern ‘Grapefruit Pink’ x Mormodes lawrenciana ‘SVO’ -- you were spot on, Ernie. Thanks!

Yeah? PM me, please.

Wow, beautiful! Especially love the shot of the equestris!

 

[Ernie]

Ah, so the spots came from the Mormodes. Neat. (RN is usually pink w/o spots). It's hard to see Mormodes in intergenerics because their wacky, twisted form (I love them for it) is recessive. They like to give color and marking though!

I suspect that's why Fred Clarke likes to use them for breeding. He certainly has come up with interesting hybrids!

Now if I can only make this one grow up!

Thanks, Ernie.

Great colors on the Clowesia!

This is what my barthiorum looks like,I only have a few Cyc.

Cyc. barthiorum is exotic !

 

[Erythrone]

Fantastic!

Very nice! Certainly the spots and the color are there.
