the same flower, a week old (overexposed like others in this thread, i know, i need a new camera.. sorry Dot!!)

The size is almost the same as the first kovachii.

Those kovachiis came from a flask imported from peruflora in 2006. A long waiting!

I would go further than JeanLux. Congrats for growing it up to flowering size, and then for flowering it.

Hmmm, my first 1st post dissappeared! Still some gremlins in the system.
THanks for sharing and great job getting them to blooming size.

Wowwwwwww!!!! That's good work, from flask to flowering! It's probably been asked many a time: do these flowers smell at all?

 

[NYEric]

Good question!! I never thought to smell one!

Can we have a look into the shoe from above please to see if there are yellow margins at the inner lip?

This photo is not the best but you can see some yellow.

Nice job. Do you still have more plants from the flask coming along?

 

[phrag guy]

that is great Dennis,nice to see hear in Camada

 

[Shiva]

Most of you probably don't know but Denis is responsible for the Orchid collection at the Montreal Botanical Garden. And so far as I can tell, he's doing a good job. He also has his own orchid collection. Kudos Denis. I hope the kovachii I bought from you will do as well as yours. :clap::clap::clap:

Beautiful! My favorite kovachii clone.

 

[Phragmatic]

Yes, i do have other plants from that flask. A couple of those have made sheet but only two flowered this summer.
