rothschildianums 2018

[Justin]

Had a nice little crop of roths earlier this spring. Here are some highlights:

rothschildianum 'Mont Millais' FCC/AOS, GM/WOC





true division, NS 29 cm

 

[Justin]

rothschildianum 'Sheila' HCC/AOS ('Charles E.' x 'Borneo')

 

[Justin]

Select roth from Orchid Zone. If I recall it is 'Mighty' x 'Red Baron'

 

[Justin]

rothschildianum 'Sam's Choice' x 'MM Best'. Seedling grown from flask. My best of this cross so far -- small flower but very dark.

 

[Guldal]

WAUW...that's a freakin' dark colouration of the lip, no, actually of the whole flower!

I assume it's a first time bloomer? And therefore with lots of space for development in the size department...over time!

Kind regards, Jens

Nice!

Yes I will be keeping this one for sure! Agree it should get bigger on a more developed plant.

I forgot to mention the MM clone has bloomed three years in a row and two years in a row with five flowers. It is a very robust grower.

Wow, great growing!

I must confess that I like Mont Millias the best. The contrast between the color of the pouch and petals & sepals is the most striking; and the petal presentation is just as good as Red Baron x Mighty.

I am very envious.

Very nice bunch!! The m.m. 5 count is pretty sweet

 

[Ozpaph]

wow, 5 flowers on MM. I think that's outstanding.
The others are very good also.

Where’d you get the mm? I’d love a division

 

[Justin]

I got mine several years ago from Lien, who got it from Sam.

 

[Ozpaph]

good providence on the MM

 

[Justin]

Yeah it is the Real McCoy. Incredible clone. In fact this one plant is basically the reason I grow orchids.

Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful Justin. Getting a NS of 29 cm for MM is pretty impressive. Mistake me if I am wrong, but I read that MM got an FCC with an NS of 26.0 cm and a dorsal width of 5.5 cm, which is relatively small by today's standards. You have clearly improved on that. What dorsal width did you get?

Thanks David!

DW is usually 5.5.

Spectacular! Well done, Justin!

I agree with Tyrone,
I love the MM best too, I am thinking even if you don't tell us that it is the MM clone, it still jumps out from the rest.
