roth first bloom

[ehanes7612]

Don't many people post pictures of buds as they open ? Isn't part of the reason this forum exists is to provide some documentary of succession to the formation of the flowers ? This wouldn't be the first time I have done this myself

ozone did the breeding ..the parents (RO-10 x Z2135) are progeny of Rex x MM

very dark indeed. I had read this one was from Taiwan, using a clone from OZ's Rex x MM, a cross which as i understand went by the code Z-2135.

All my info is hearsay ( except the cross is info on the tag). So I could be wrong

4 flowers on a young plant is a very good sign. Expect 5 and probably up to 6 flowers on a multi growth plant with let's say 6-8 BS growths.

 

[ehanes7612]

If I don't sell it before then

Very desirable colouring and form. Looks like it will have a good presentation as well.

Good improvement on the second flower. It looks like the dorsal is bigger? Maybe just the angle. But I think it has amazing color and form as well. What don't you like about it?
