Looks To Be A Dark One Too!

Wow! Very dark!

Man, if I see one more nice roth I'm going to have to do something drastic! Just as my roth fever was starting to subside... Hope for the best for you Ed. The two roth seedlings I got from you are doing nicely, sending out new roots now.

looks like it will be nice--4 flowers on a single growth seedling? not bad!

 

[Stone]

Nice one.

Another nice dark roth. Looking forward to seeing it in full bloom.

 

[cattmad]

nice even dark pouch colour, very nice

 

[SlipperFan]

I think it will open more.

 

[Trithor]

Looking forward to an updated picture

Big dark potential color.
Difform flower is not a problem, except if all flowers have this problem but I don't think that.

You 're impatient!

The flower is not really open and its size not definitive. It will reach at least 23-24cms, maybe 25.
The definitive flower size is more 1 week after opening at home.

give it time.

No way! I'm surprised he still has Paphs. I'm counting on his Phrag obsession to last about 1/2 a year more so he can acquire a nice collection for me! oke: Nice job on the Roth.

oh for crying out loud
this is a quote from the thread opener above the picture.."RO x Z cross, still opening..so far, 8 inches across (20 cm), staminode misaligned and the pouch is kinda rough..hopefully just the first flower" ...
Exactly what part of this implies I am being impatient and not understanding that it's still opening and growing?

BTW, Orchidaceae Inc sells these..BS

Well, well well… you're not impatient...

 

[ehanes7612]

Not with flowers opening...However ...this thread..

 

[Fabrice]

Yes, you're right.

But I don't think it was necessary to react like that. You can be sure next time, I'll shut my mouth. Like that, you will be happy and me too.

 

[ehanes7612]

Good advice ... Making presumptions is annoying.. Something I myself, have learned the hard way

I'm still trying to understand why you posted a 4 bud roth with the first flower half open.
