Speaking of lindenii...

[Heather]

The buds have all of the sudden begun to plump rapidly. I am torn, I'd like this to still be fresh in bloom for my July 8th OS meeting so I hope it takes another week to open, but probably will start sooner.

 

[Jmoney]

very nice. but even it opens now it oughta be fine for 7/8...with fully extended petals too.

 

[phrag guy]

very nice,can hardly wait to see it fully open

 

[Heather]

Thank you.
I really like taking these in to my society meetings because they are not regularly seen. We only have a few serious slipper growers in my society (and I'm the only woman, which I find fascinating!)

4 on one spike too.:clap: :clap:

Good growing Heather

 

[Marco]

:clap: Great plant, it looks very happy! Can't wait to see the blooms.

Your lidenii looks wonderful and I'm sure it will be a knockout just like your caudatum was.

 

[Heather]

Hey, one bud started opening today and - no kidding you - there really is no pouch!
How cool is that??

 

[Heather]

I thought this was a neat stage. Very fetal.

 

[blueovalgal]

Wow, that is cool!

 

[adiaphane]

That is one lovely shot. Great pic.

When it opens fully do you think you can get a shot of the fabled third pollinia in contact with the stigma?

Given any thought as to letting one of the pods mature and maybe getting a little flasking done?
