Howeara Lava Burst 'Puanani' AM/AOS Growing on the Wall

[Ross]

Julie mounted this as a small first bloom plant in 2010, just after we had moved into the greenhouse. Even though it's a quite common mericlone, it sure can put on a show of color.

 

[Lanmark]

Oooooh, nice!

Wow that looks absolutely beautiful, I don think I have seen one quite like yours. It has so many flowers and now I want one to look like yours one day

 

[NYEric]

Hmmmm, that's about the nicest one I've seen. I wonder how big the AM one was?

The AM had 101 flowers

 

[Paphluvr]

Beautiful display! Well done!

 

[Ross]

Thanks! I like the way the flowers display themselves when the plant is mounted compared to in a pot.

 

[NYEric]

Just curious, don't make me count, how many here?

 

[Migrant13]

That is the nicest specimen I have seen of this one. Great growing!

 

[Erythrone]

Wow!!! Great one!

 

[SlipperFan]

Wow -- that is quite a display!

 

[abax]

Oh my, that is impressive and the color is stunning. I love
mounted plants.

 

[Ross]

Thanks, everyone! It seems that one rarely sees hybrids mounted. In fact, I think all the other orchids on this wall are species. With their vigorous growth and showy flowers, hybrids can offer a lot enjoyment, becoming specimen plants in as little as five years.

Amazing display! My friend has one of these, so I'll have to show her this picture.

I think your's beats that easily. I'm guessing between 130-150 flowers. Gorgeous!

 

[Lanmark]

It really is impressively well-grown and well-bloomed!

What a show!
