Phrag. Peruflora's Cirila Alca

[Shiva]

My current pride and joy. Flower is 10 cm wide.

 

[SlipperKing]

That is one sweet Santa!!!!!

 

[Shiva]

A couple of more pics taken in the growing room

The whole plant and more.

The colour differences are due to a hps lamp about 8 feet away.

 

[phrag guy]

that is great,making some crosses?

 

[FlowerFaerie]

Nice! I see that "and more" is an understatement

 

[Paph_LdyMacBeth]

Really beautiful! Something to be proud of!

 

[Shiva]

that is great,making some crosses?

No! It takes so much time to grow seedlings and I'm not getting any younger. But if you want pollen, I may be convinced to give some.

 

[NYEric]

Yay besseae (v. dalesandroi) hybrids!

Man, that light is bright! Is that in the house!?!?

Yes! On the second floor. There are two 1000W lamps, one metal halide and the other hps. I moved the plant on the MH side for the pictures so I would get a bluer light and less yellow. The room is 18 feet long by 9 feet wide.

 

[NYEric]

How are they mounted?

 

[Shiva]

Straight on the ceiling about eight feet apart with a reflecting metal shade above (the wing type) mostly to keep the heat from burning the wood above. The ceiling is 9 foot high.

 

[phrag guy]

That would be great and I would give you flasks or seedlings for the crosses that take

[Shiva]

You got yourself a deal. When is the best time to take the pollen?

 

[NYEric]

We have no ceiling fixtures in our building so I would have to make a frame...Thanks.

 

[Carper]

Very nice flower Shiva. I'm getting addicted to the kovachii hybrids so its on my list.

Color looks great! The staminode looks orange -- it that right? If so, it's a nice contract with the pink of the flower.

 

[Shiva]

Dot, the colour is right in the first pic. The staminode is more brown than orange. The next two pics have their colour tinted by a HPS light. I wanted to show the whole plant with stem and flower in my growing room.
