First bloom seedling and it's a monster of a plant! It's line breeding of 'Krull-Smith' X 'Ponkan'

I think the color is pretty good.

 

[SlipperFan]

First bloom!!! WOW.

 

[Rick]

Looking pretty awesome Rick. What's the leaf span?

 

[carrilloenglish]

nice color indeed.

 

[W. Beetus]

WOW! That's a lot of blooms for a first bloomer.

 

[likespaphs]

fragrant?

 

[Jorch]

I'll take Eric's line this time: Can we see a picture of the whole plant please?

 

[eOrchids]

Superb first blooming!!!

 

[NYEric]

I was going to say, thanx for the photo of the "monster"! oke:

 

[JeanLux]

Wow, 6 blooms/buds or more ? !!!! Jean

 

[Shiva]

I am envious. Outstanding!

 

[SlipperKing]

Only 6 flowers Jean. I went out and measured the leaf span, 35.75 inches! It's probably just as tall to top of the spike. I will have to take a "whole" plant PIC later for you, Eric and Jorch.

Niiiice! Be sure to smell the flowers when they are fully open. Mine smells like cat pee. I'd also love to see a full plant photo with all the flowers open. :clap:

I didn't smell anything Wendy. Maybe they bred that trait out!:rollhappy:

 

[goldenrose]

Update

Whole plant shot. Two pound coffee can in front for reference.

Check out the raised warts on the petals, up close to the column! Most interesting.

Beautiful..!! Do you feed it with all that java? I have heard of coffee being used as orchid fertiliser..
