I finally bloomed one ! !

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Well I did it. I bloomed one of my rothschildianums. It has a 24" leaf span and blooming on a single growth. It currently has one flower open with one fat bud to follow. The natural spread is about 23 c.m. (9 inches). As you can see the cross is: 'Da Guam Yuan' x 'Green Valley' SM/TPS
