Easy grower but flowers don't last long!

 

[Erythrone]

cute!

 

[NYEric]

Thanks for sharing. Post again if the petals open more.

 

[eggshells]

Wow, what a vigorous clone.

 

[SlipperFan]

Nice one!

 

[abax]

Sort of looks a little "hound dog", but the colors are very nice.

 

[Leo_5313]

Cute!

I like it! Do you keep this as warm as your stonei??

 

[Bjorn]

A bit out of season,
Do you have it under lights as well? would think that perhaps it coud stay outdoors for quite a while at your location?

 

[SlipperKing]

Great markings. Is it still opening?

Yes thank you for your remark, mine is just in very low bud ! and it is late for the season and I don't know why...

Careful with that one, buds out of season easily blasts, at least mine do

It is growing under lights. Not sure if they could stay outdoor as it is a bit too cold during the evening.

 

[Trithor]

I hope to bloom one, ....one day perhaps!

Absolutely!

I have mine at 10/20°C night/day during most of Winter, so if you put it outside now you would perhaps turn seasons upside down?
btw. seems as if I killed my last tigrinum from the flask I got a couple of years back:sob: How are yours developing?

Not that great for the tigrinum seedlings. Down to just a few seedling with barely any roots.

Ouch! same story as I had in other words. Got a small flask from Hengduan last fall that seems to be much better though. But pricey. I think they must have discovered something that makes much better tigers. Have the same experience with their hangianums and emersonii.
