Well, tis’ the season and all three delenatii plants have decided to bud in sync, heralding the start of the holidays!.....
I forgot about the 4th. But there are two extra buds on these guys, so we’re covered for a 5th musketeer if needed lol.Not three P. delenatii......but four Musketeers (you know they were four in the end), Leslie. Mine P. delenatii frm. vinicolor is just about to to blossom out, too. Good luck to yours.
Summer dunkle? Perhaps it has HCM genes?I love that sight! My ‘Dunkel’ has gotten out of synch and blooms in the summer...

Any previous flower pics?Hope not! Although I do want one. I love its broader petals. Mine has a very classic delanatii shape. I expect its cultural rather than genetic...
Hmmm good idea... the 3 wise men with myrrh, gold and frankincense! If only these flowers bore those gifts lolFor the holiday season, instead the three wise guys?
Any previous flower pics?
Yes usually they bloom Dec-Feb period.Leslie, your three delenatii blooming together!!!That is very nice!!
Do your delenatii plants always bloom in this month? Mine flower in may.
Oh, Leslie, they do. You just have to have eyes to see!!Hmmm good idea... the 3 wise men with myrrh, gold and frankincense! If only these flowers bore those gifts lol
Ooo! Leslie, I like the soft lavender pink on the edges of the petals. Very nice... and a really nicely formed flat flower.
Wow!!! It is perfect!!!Musketeer Dumbo has opened!
Yours is a lovely one, and always memorable as your 'first'.Ooo! Leslie, I like the soft lavender pink on the edges of the petals. Very nice... and a really nicely formed flat flower.
Mine has not spiked yet, but last year had just opened (2 flowers) for the Paph Forum in DC, (which is the end of Jan.) and gave me my first AOS award--a 79 pt. HCC. Conditions the same now, so anticipating!! What really sucks (forgive my bluntness) is that there will be no one to judge it this year.. Really sad, as the Paph Forum is one of my favorite shows of the year. Excellently done and all slippers with great speakers (Hadley Cash and Harold Koopowitz among them). Worth a trip to the U.S. next year (God willing post COVID) for you, as you have such great (and unusual) slippers!!!
