More ciliolare

[Alex]

Two clones - not very different to my eye. Also, an exciting bud coming up - who can guess/deduce what it is (species)?

P.S. iPhone pics only - sorry for quality.

villosum or insigne?
Seems like a wrong time, but given the climate in UK, why not now?

how big is that pot?

 

[Alex]

Neither of those - the pot is 11cm.

 

[Happypaphy7]

Henryanum?? Although leaves look a bit too wide?
Too big to be helenae I think.
I don't know, tell us!

Pictures are of great quality, at least on my iPhone.

It's a tigrinum, had it for a couple of years and this is its first flower. looking forward to it, lets hope no late blasting.

Congrats season is about right for that. However, there is something that is not entirely right, lacks some pigmentation perhaps? Nevertheless, probably the real thing, since its pushing I doubt that it will blast now. Keep us posted:clap:

Well, we'll find out soon! It looks right vegetatively to me, but I must admit I don't know what the scape should look like. It was a Popow plant, his naming is normally pretty good.

Your ciliolares have lovely bronze-colored pouches.

I always think this flower looks confusing.
