too bad, you have to do that with those lovelies!! Will you try to keep the spike in water, and will it develop any further? ( I have not exp. yet with flowering multis) Jean

 

[NYEric]

Quite nice.

 

[cwt]

Very nice. Pity they are so big.

 

[Heather]

Do you know the cross?

 

[Corbin]

:sob:

 

[Park Bear]

Very nice

 

[Rick]

Very cool Rick. Where'd you get it from? How big is the plant?

 

[SlipperFan]

I agree about the colors.

 

[Greenpaph]

Real lovely kolo!

:clap::clap:

Oooh! Oooh! If you're cutting the spike anyway, could you send me some pollenia? I'd love to cross it onto my Paph. Freckles 'Cream Puff' HCC/AOS. Hell, I might try crossing it onto my Paph. Lathamianum too . . . or a bulldog or two . . .

I'm a big fan of kolo hybrids.

I have a local friend who is growing a bunch of these from flask and wants to share. How can I resist, no matter their enormous size?

Heather and Rick,
I don't know the cross. It's another plant w/a tag "Phrags.com" and when I did a search I found the website as been disscontinued. I got it off of Ebay, orchidtn I believe is the seller. The woman I emailed back-n-fourth is out of Dallas/Ft. Worth area. She had serveral and I think I still have her email if you like.
Single large growth with a start. Natural spread ~18inches, 30" spike

That's interesting. Phrags.com was set up by Fritz Schomburg, who really only had it as a link to his email address. Quintal Farms in Hawaii is phrags.com. They have great plants with healthy roots, and unfortunately, often incorrect tags.

 

[orcoholic]

It's either Kolosand (kolop. x sanderianum) or kolop x rothschildianum. Quintal has had these for a couple years. The kolo var. is topperi. If I had to guess, I would guess it's the roths cross. The sanderianum cross was very light. There were a lot more of the Kolosand available than Koloroth last year.

Would you mind telling me how much they charge for something like that?
