Thanks for that reminder, it's one we have a tendency to overlook but sometimes better to be overcautious.This is Iweyshen plant, ShenLiu Orchids. So far all that bloom from him is genuine, with proper parents... Now, a crippled flower like the one he posted can come as well from one of the various chemicals they use in Taiwan, and may not appear on the next bloom. They have a lot of growth boosters available, some excellent, some produce crippled flowers. I saw this especially on parvis, stonei, praestans, and some complexes in Taiwan, and the next blooming is usually normal.
There goes the red flag on this flask!Back to the original question, stonei Formosa has been sold out completely, there is not a single division still in Taiwan. I did buy, a German did buy, one US and two Japanese who ended up with the motherplants at the end. So the flasks cannot be a selfing and of good quality. If they are really Formosa x self, it means that the seedlings in flask are over a decade old, which is not unheard of through proliferation, but it means too that they will be extremely weak.
Good suggestion, I was wondering the same thing.Better than asking the photo of the mother plant ( no proof that this is the actual motherplant of the flask), if you trust the seller, ask a photo of the flask. If the seedlings are whitish yellowish, they will die. If they seems vigorous, you can have a try.
How many flasks are there?
and he probably will, he did before, he's digging his own grave.How can it be possible that someone who continuously insults forum members, is still allowed to post here?
If you don't know to behave, Mr.Bream, just go your way.....
It's easy to jump on the bandwagon, I know some of you want action now, but you need to stop and think why this forum was formed. We're all suppose to be adults but there's times it doesn't appear that way. In the end we're all responsible for our actions, in this case words. Are you a bigger, better person than the aforementioned? Think about it, how do children or adults seeking attention act? Are you giving him what he wants by responding? Sometimes ignoring it a good thing. Each one of us has the ability to change our attitude & look at life differently, this might be a time to try it.
