She's a'openin'!

[Heather]

and looking right on track...

[Rick]

Oh! Those are nice and dark looking:clap:

 

[NYEric]

Was it worth the wait? oke:

 

[Marco]

sweet! I'm sure it'll be more than worth the wait

 

[patrix]

looks enviable-there is nothing that orchids may teach us if not patience and satisfaction-though sometimes I experience poverty and indulgent guilt but it passes very qucikly with practise. I was unfamiliar with this cross but love the dark flowers-keep us posted.

 

[Jon in SW Ohio]

I can't wait to see this one open!!

Jon

 

[Heather]

Thanks! I'm terribly excited, of course.
I also found out that Terry's shipping my second one today. Yippeee!

 

[TADD]

Terry? I am rolling with anticipation.

 

[Heather]

Terry?

Of Pine Ridge...

 

[Gideon]

Lovely

 

[Heather]

 

[kentuckiense]

That dorsal is a winner.

 

[gore42]

Awesome I'm so glad that you got a good one! Looks like a great dorsal and the petals look great too, so far... very nice indeed!

[Heather]

Thanks! Me too. Not quite finished opening fully...
I got the second one from Pine Ridge today and it is a 9-growth division. Going to be a while before that one blooms though, I think. It has a sheath but since it was just divided and has been through some stress, I'm not banking on it panning out.

 

[Barbara]

What a dramatic picture of such a striking flower. I've been checking back everyday since you first posted it! Worth the wait.

[bwester]

very impressive Heather

 

[SlipperFan]

Oh.... WOW!

 

[Heather]

Maybe it's just me, but I think P. adductum has, shall I say, a sort of "attitude" that comes across in its hybrids. I'm not sure what it is about it, but it is what attracts me to hybrids made with the species.

I tend to like the hybrids more than the species, actually. Grow faster too. oke:

 

[eOrchids]

Wow, very nice, Heather! :drool:

 

[Tony]

That's hideous. You should send it to me so you don't have to look at it anymore.
