insigne 'Harefield Hall'

[jimspaphs]

The label says 'Harefield Hall' so who am I to argue.

much chunkier than my insignes

Whatever kind of insigne it may be - a nice flower, indeed...the colouration of the lip, especially, seems almost mahogany and nicely saturated!

'Harefield Hall' is btw. a triploid, so if you post measures of the size of the flower and of the leaf span, maybe the very knowledgeable crowd in here, could help to shed some light on the more precise identity of your clone!

Kind regards,

Good one.

Good score!

Very nice Jim, is this the flowering?

I have my doubts that this is a true 'Harefield Hall'. Here is a photo of a 'Harefield Hall' which looks identical to mine. I think it looks quite different to yours. There have been a lot of plants incorrectly sold as Harefield Hall. David Banks confirmed mine was the real deal. Mine came from Neil Finch who had the legitimate clone. David Banks said his plant came from Neil Finch as well.

could the differences be cultural/ plant maturity. Its certainly bigger than any of my insignes.

I have a few others misnamed--but I'm pretty sure of this one---will post another photo to compare.

Here are a couple of photos of mine. The first one is after the flower has just opened. The second one the flower has aged and reflexed. They look different to me. Maybe it is culture, I don't know. I think mine looks closer to Robert's.

I have one of these at the mo no blooms yet to see if its correct. Lovely bloom congrats

Looks like the same plant to me. All the differs are cultural and photographic issues IMO.

 

[jimspaphs]

The lip is different? HH has a fatter and wider look with a straight to upward curve at the front, this one has a V shaped top of pouch and more tapered towards bottom..
