[Guldal]

I'm not a total animal like that other Tony

Didn't we hear utterances like this in Nürenberg and in den Haag?!

Keep it up and you WILL lose your left nut.

You're sending me an adductum? You're the best.

 

[Tony]

First pods of the season were sown today by my new lab, fingers crossed for better results this year.

 

[spujr]

Are you taking orders yet??

They have to grow first

Roth x tigrinum? JAIL! JAIL FOR A THOUSAND YEARS!!!

It was registered 20 years ago but I had never seen a picture of one so I decided to make my own with blackjack and hookers. I finally saw a pic of one from Australia yesterday and I'm sure there will be plenty of turds but I'm willing to sift through them to try and get a good one. Parvi x roth crosses are mostly terrible but people love them anyway

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Lots of interesting potential in those pods!

A note for future breeding: If it was registered 20 years ago and there are no pictures, that tells you everything you need to know about the cross.

I'll decide that in 6-8 years

Is your Fanaticum still alive? You said you kill everything (or does everything dies sound better? lol) other than multis?

For now. I don't kill everything, just Parvis and Brachys lol

 

[Happypaphy7]

Don’t you have someone who does well with parvis in your society? That’s a very nice & dark Fanaticum.

No, I'm the only serious Paph grower.

Dang~ that's tough. lol
Luckily, we have some paph interest in our small group but we are all city dwellers with very limited space. can only grow so many you know. Multis are least favored due to space issues But it is definitely nice to have some people with similar interests.

 

[Tony]

Another unimpressive Hilo Confused Eagle, and a curtisii that took so long to open that a spider crawled in and made a hammock on the dorsal. Maybe I'll tell the houseplant people the Bald Eagle is variegated and make a mint off it

 

[Happypaphy7]

Sigmatopetalum can be a pain that way.
I find sukhakulii and curtisii take their sweet time opening their buds.

 

[tnyr5]

The longer it takes to open, the nicer the flower. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)

 

[gego]

Not bad. I have a fowllei alba that is still in bud for over 3 months now. But it does show it's gaining in size. I just try to ignore it...hehehe as if I don't care.
