Saint Swithin progression

[tnyr5]

It's about 1/3 open & has good potential, but we all know that could contort into something ugly, so I'll post the bloom progression after it opens. The dorsal will be exceptional if it stays flat. Love the pepper smell.

 

[NYEric]

Wow! What a tease!

 

[tnyr5]

Soon...

 

[troy]

Pepper smell?

 

[tnyr5]

Yep. I like it. Better than urine & feet lol.

 

[troy]

It's fragrant? Roths can be I heard, but never have heard of a S.S. fragrant, are you sure you didn't get rowdy & peppersprayed or maced last night, pass out & forget I've heard the nightlife in pa. Can get crazy bar hopping n stuff lol..

 

[tnyr5]

The roth was the pod parent. I would guess that helps.

 

[troy]

Cool!!, you know what roth it is? J.k. the last statement

 

[tnyr5]

There ya go. Still twisting & twirling so NS is unstable. Dorsal 4.9cm, petal width at widest point is just barely 1.3cm, petal length 16cm, synsepal 4.2cm. Not particularly big by St Swithin standards, but the color is nice & the flower is chunky.

Turned out beautifully, congrats, I love SS.

looks like a winner.

 

[SlipperKing]

Someone will have to retract their comment about these particular parents not making beautiful offspring! Look'in good so far!

 

[tnyr5]

Oh, I'm sure it'll find some way to piss me off lol.

 

[NYEric]

Send it to NYC for disciplining!!

 

[tnyr5]

You're too soft; it's a willful plant.

Dorsal size is disappointing, I like the form and Colour though

 

[Camellkc]

Not bad overall.

 

[SlipperFan]

Very good shape and contrast. All around, a nice flower.

Just curious, and I mean no offense: What would you consider "not disappointing?"

 

[cattmad]

For an SS with modern roth breeding I would expect a 5.5 or 6cm dorsal, I have been dissapointed with new SS I have been flowering as well

You rarely see a JB OR WBW with a ds under 5.5
