The spicerianum season has started. These are my first two clones, with the rest about a week from opening. I will post agroup shot of them in a week or two. The flower on the right has a natural spread of 9.3cm with a dorsal of 6.5cm. It does not reflex as much as the flower on the left, and i think perhaps its petal stance is better as well?

Nice spicer, This is one of the species that I look forward to during September- November here.

Looks like a good candidate for breeding. If you have a Leeanum handy crossing it onto the Leeanum would be good way to go. I don't think their could every be enough Brunos. On the other thank, crossing to villosum makes a neat primary as well: Lathamianum.
