First flowering seedling which I have been growing for a few years from a small size.

OH! I like it a lot! :clap:

Nice flower and great photo. I'm always amazed at how these small and medium size plants can put out such large flowers without dying. Mike

Congrats!! That is nice, both the leaves and the flower!

I have been nursing a small seedling for about two years now.
The leaves are wide and have lots white area like yours.
Slow but steady.

I have just bought one more small seedling. I want more! lol

I have a multi-growth plant but the first bud aborted last year. I am yet to find out what it looks like in bloom. Can't wait!!

Do you find it slow as well??

Pretty much all parvi for me, seem like consistent grower but slow.
The exceptions are hangianum hybrids. They seem fastest.

Looks very nice.

Interesting yellow tones David. All I've seen are green with pink/maroon

Nice tall stem. I imported a few seedlings not sure when they will bloom.

I like it. When I saw the title, I thought to myself, it's not Fanaticum season, but then I saw you're down under, so makes perfect sense. Enjoy.

nice one - what is its origin?

It hasn't finished flowering yet.

Yes, the flower is enormous relative to the growth.

fastest.

I bought this as a small seedling in January 2011. So that makes it 5 and a half years to flower it. I hadn't realised it had been that long. Time flies. I guess you might call that pretty slow. I don't have a lot of other straight Parvi's so I can't benchmark it. I'm amazed it flowered on such a small plant. I expected I was going to have to wait another year or two.

I think that yellow may be a little overstated. The real colour appears a bit more green than that. There is a bit of yellow in it although the backlight seems to have exaggerated that colour. It is more green than yellow in real life.

I bought it off Woolf Orchids. There is no parents on the label so I can't add any more information.

I preferred your clones Stephen. Great colour in those. This one is much lighter. Still it is nice.

Interesting lighting, David. I suspect it had enhanced the yellow.

Always a treat to see these in bloom especially one like this. Good patience.

Love the prevelent yellow that I have not seen before.

Well done.
