Paph. Eva Weigner in bud

[Marco]

I'm so excited.

Will post progression when it's fully opened if it don't blast. I so hope it don't blast.

Yay!:rollhappy:

Looks like it's off to a great start, Marco!

 

[Barbara]

Looking forward to this one. I like Eva Weigner.

 

[Heather]

Let me see if I can dredge up a photo of the last bloom on this plant....

That's not the best photo, but it was the one that showed all three buds.
Marco, I cannot wait to see how it is this time! I got this plant and my Berenice from Ross (Paphreek) and I swear, I would buy from him again in a second or less, his plants are so fabulously grown! Just GORGEOUS!

 

[Barbara]

Ok, I want one too now. Of course.:rollhappy:

Mine is this plant:

Which has a very different petal stance... I like them both

- Matt

 

[Heather]

I have to say, when I bought the Eva which is now Marco's, I was hoping for Matt's petal stance. Marco's is very nice, but I tend (in general, and it is a flaw, mind you) to like a wider shoulder stance. So, Matt, you know where to find me when the time comes.

Matt your's looks like it took on more of the stonei stance which is great. I got your last one from this batch I believe. It really picked up the pace after I repotted it. I hope it blooms just like that one in the picture.

about the same height. Wanna race ?

sure...it'd be interesting to see their difference

but I tend ..... to like a wider shoulder stance

thats why you luuuuuv adductum

 

[Heather]

Nope, that's why I love stonei X adductum!!!

 

[Gideon]

Very nice, can't wait to see it in full bloom

 

[gore42]

How it coming Marco?

- Matt

 

[Marco]

Matt the spikes about the same height as yours. Im going to take a picture of it when I get home

 

[eOrchids]

looks so far so good, Marco!

love how the betta bowl are lined up across the page!

 

[Marco]

Here's photo ,with no flash, of the spike 10 days after the first photo.

 

[NYEric]

Time to stake?

 

[Marco]

i was thinking about staking it but i dont know if i will. The stem looks. It's growing straight and not arching over. I'll probably stake it if it seems like it cant support the flowers.

Would any of you guys have any suggestions?

 

[NYEric]

Pssst. [What's w/ the premature picture taking? Could wait till it was fully erect?]oke:

I probably wouldn't stake it now, but don't move it if you want the flowers facing the same way when they are fully open. Eva has strong stems, should be fine.

(BTW, 3 flowers :evil
