rungsuryanum

First bud opened.

 

[Ray]

That is just a great little flower.

I hope they’ll be available here before I die.

 

[NYEric]

Nice. What media/mix?

 

[SlipperKing]

Cool. I noticed the moss growing on the top of mix in another thread of yours.

 

[Jpari]

I really like this species. The flower color is beautiful and the plant size is great for my growing area. Unfortunately, here in the U.S.A. the plant is not yet legal. I truly hope that it will become legal in the near future. In what conditions do you grow and flower yours?

 

[dodidoki]

Many thanks, i grow it in pure grodan rockwool, yes, covered my moss. moss started to grow spontaneoulsly.

 

[JayeL]

Nice. What media/mix?

I received a compot and grow them in 50% bark and 50% stone, and they have been thriving.

It seems that the need a mix that flushes out any excess water. Roots are particularly long for such a small species.

[GuRu]

Ray, they were sold on the table at Redlands this year. I was not there, but I know they were as a friend saw them.

 

[Ray]

Maybe I should have said legally available?

Curiously, how much was an illegal rungsurianum at Redlands this year??

For what's it worth, I don't think the ones in Europe are "technically " legal either.

[katzenhai2]

How can such a huge flower emerge from such a small plant.

 

[Hilmar]

hi to all,
rungsurianum are not legal in EU at this moment, we are in steady contact to the responsible authorities, up to now no legal import came to Europe. That is an fact of law.

About cites laws, every paphiopedilum species is in CITES 1. category, so every trade with any part of plants is forbidden. If it is true, all species are illegal in a foreign country regardless if it is an old or a new species. It is obviously insane...

But that is NOT true. Here's the text, directly from the CITES.ORG website:

Thanks for correction. How can a new or any specie turn to be legal???
