[annab]

I bought this little seedling in november 2013 and was a single fan.
now after 3 years has 7 fan but the leafspan is only 20cm as average so is not a big plants after all .
It's flourished for the first time,only three flowers.
the first one is more red because is a mature flower.

a very nice SS!

I agree! Great stance for a SS. Not often horizonal as this one.

Nice Red St Swithin!~

Wow. i wouldn't mind that particular hybrid in my collection. Love the stance and the petal colour.

 

[Secundino]

Very nice!

 

[SlipperFan]

Nice. I suspect the color in the first photo is the most true.

Wow.. I love the compact habit.. My SS is a monster and is still not blooming yet.. would love to have several plants like yours to take its place..

That is an outstanding SS Anna. Love the petal stance in particular. Maybe a laevigatum form of phillipinense was used. That is an amazing groth rate as well. Great culture.

Good looking plant. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like the perfect combination, a small plant and a large flower. It is great that the flower shows so much roth influence. Mike

I wish I had a compact SS plant like that!
Good flowers, too! sounds like a real clumper!

Let me say a little observation: This plant looks to me a Paph. Gary Romagna (SS x rothschildianum) more likely, because of horisontal petal stance. It's a fact, a wonderdul compact plant it is definitely. Just my personal opinion not more.

There are clones of phillipinense that have horizontal petals. I have one myself. Most SS's have more pendulous petals because the roebelinii form of phillipinense is mostly used.
