roth first bloom

[ehanes7612]

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?

i never said i didnt like it

If I don't sell it before then

I am sure it will be sold before it gets to that many growths.lol!

That's a good one! Very promising.

How much do you think to sell this kind of plant?

Beautiful!

i guess I was wrong the bottom flower had some more growing to do...25 cm across..dorsal is 6cm x 5.3 cm and the flower from dorsal tip to synsepal tip is 12 cm (the second flower is 4 percent smaller)..i will post another pic with the third flower open by tuesday

a quick picture...the fourth bud is starting to expand..it may be a couple weeks before it opens all the way..just in time for judging..just hope it clears the third flower

 

[Justin]

Dark! Good luck...

Wow that is a show stopper. Good one Ed. I love how the petals fade towards the staminode. Great form and color.

final product

here it is..25 cm NS..four flowers the last one is almost completely opened. Judging is saturday
I have two other plants..one with two buds and one with four
..I think I am pretty happy with my roth collection now..feel pretty fortunate to have this plant..satisfies my need to have at least one really good roth

 

[AdamD]

Awesome floral arrangement, imposing stature! I'd be tickled to death with that one. Great color and form as well. Looks a lot like Mr. Lin's 'Pylo'. Hope you have similar luck at judging!

 

[ehanes7612]

it's stature is quite intimidating..i can see how roths might scare all the other plants in the wild

 

[Heather]

Gorgeous display!

 

[Trithor]

Good luck for judging.

 

[Ozpaph]
