Last weekend I went to see my mentor in all things orchiadic, Hans Christiansen in his nursery in Fredensborg. I returned with a few plants, among them this nice tonsum:

Very nice tonsum!
Looks huge. Color is great. The dorsal is quite pinch though. Still quite majestic looking. Nice get!
I wonder what other stowaways were there that followed you home??

A nice BS haynaldianum, though not in flower at the moment (but I saw its sibling, that was!). And in the non-slipper category: a large Bulb. frostii...huge leaves and wonderfully many growths (and 3 new ones in the making)!
long spike
Yes, isn't it....inflorecence 35+ cm! Next time round, I'll just hope for a less pinched dorsal!

That's a beauty!
That's usually less than your haul (like from Dresden)!A nice BS haynaldianum, though not in flower at the moment (but I saw its sibling, that was!). And in the non-slipper category: a large Bulb. frostii...huge leaves and wonderfully many growths (and 3 new ones in the making)!
Very elegant and glossy flower. Well done to bring it home.
"My Dresden haul" this year consisted, due to the covid-19 cancellation of the show, 'only' of my rather pretty extensive pre-order to Hengduan Mountains Biotech. Mrs. Wenqing Perner very kindly provided me with the plants by shipping them from a european destination. I hope that I little by little as the plants reach maturity, respectively their flowering periode, will be able to provide you with glimpses of the loot, Leslie!
I don’t think I said this before but I love this flower. Everything great about a tonsum. I don’t mind the “pinch,” I like that it adds dimension to all the shine. Beauty.
