sanderianum x gigantifolium BS Plants!

[Pete]

Hello All
I am very good friends with some people here in Hawai'i that have a crop of sanderianum x gigantifolium, the plants are all Blooming size and have not been offered until now as they were waiting for the first plant to bloom so the original hybridizer in Taiwan could register the cross. The first one did bloom and was very nice carrying four flowers with ten inch long petals, heavily influenced by the gigantifolium, as the petals do a full cork screw for the entire lower half. Plants are huge and well grown. $50 each, not including shipping. Please send a Message to me if you are interested. At the moment I am cameraless but I can work on uploading a photo of the first plant. I also have two of my own in sheath now.
Aloha
Pete

Please do try to get a photo -- that would be a very helpful.

Sounds like an awesome cross. If it didn't take up 50% of my available growing space, I'd certainly spring for one.

 

[goldenrose]

You're killing me! I'm running out of multi -room ...... and money! Sounds awesome!

 

[Pete]

Hope this works...

 

[SlipperFan]

It worked -- wow! Those petals are spectacular. Big plant though.. I'll have to consider space. Thanks.

 

[goldenrose]

So when is the latest to let you know? Do you sense me weakening?

 

[Pete]

Haha. The plants are fairly reasonably sized for a big multifloral... This offer will run through the rest of the month...

Oh, man! I just got my tax refund today! Now I'm gonna have to think about it. Just how big do these plants get? The "gigantifolium" part is starting to scare me.

 

[paphioboy]

C'mon guys.. its just $50... :evil: I bet that's a steal for a plant of that size...

These plants have about an 18" leaf span now and they are not only blooming size but now is their season and many will probably flower this season in the next 5-6 monthes. I might consider trades for other plants too..

Very nice cross!!!
Mine should have bloomed if it had not a bacterial rot... I have to wait for the two new growths to be mature now. At least one more year grrrr
