What a wonderful bunch! I was amazed at the first one -- a really different exul.

Great thread!

Gorgeous plants and blooms...I like ALL of them. They appear to be hugging you for taking such good care of them. Is exul always so affectionate?

Thank you for sharing pictures of all these wonderful plants with us. The range and variety is truely awesome. Do you sell flasks of exul seedlings? I am suddenly starting to feel the need for a trip to Thailand!:drool:

We keep trying making flasks of those selected parent.
The problem is the good looking ones seems much difficult to give pod.
Those few pods seems much difficult to germinate.
Those few germinated seems much difficult to grow.

It is a challenge to make flask of exul. so the limited numbers are sold out among Thai enthusiasts.

Hope we can improve efficiency soon.

The same plant as in the first pic.
Following photos are taken in the past few years

Very consistent 'Tonya' over the years! I did see in one of your pictures in the upper left corner seed pods maturing!

Yip I spied 'em too. Perhaps that means atrip to Thailand is still on the cards?

Some amazing clones. A good exul is hard to beat. I love the large equally proportioned white based sepals.

Thanks, I have been keeping my greenhouse around 15c or 16c nights. It's a wonder my little exul is still alive, and no wonder it didn't do anything for me. It will be brought into the house!

I grow them at the same minimum temps as you and are having the same problems. I flowered it once a couple of years ago but not since. It survives and looks OK but it is obviously not thriving.

That's not out of range for the night lows in winter I've been exposing mine to for the past 12 years. But in summer you can't cook or burn these guys. Full on bright and temps even through the low 30C range are excellent for this species.

I agree that I think the bright light level is what induce blooming
Let's try join me growing exul.
I am so jealous when seeing your Complex hybrid that cannot resist my climate.

My intention is to cross those complex with exuls or leucos so they can survive Bangkok hot seasons
