Thanks everyone, I am thrilled, not only did I have the honor of having a plant named after me but I was the first to have one awarded. I can't wait to see what the rest of the grex looks like, Bill told me yesterday that he has one that has bloomed out red, can't wait to see pictures. I have 6 plants right now and will be getting another dozen later this week.


Msaar, in answer to your question, it's natural spread is 9.4cm Horiz and 12.2cm Vert which translates to approx 3 3/4 inches by 4 7/8 inches

WOWOW!!!!!!! LUCKY YOU!!!! I agree that it would be an honour to have a plant from a famous breeder named after you. I am really looking forward to seeing more from this cross, and I am now getting more interesting in breeding Bulbos.

Thanks Rosie, I have now seen about a dozen or so plants that have flowered and there hasn't been a dog in the bunch. Can't wait to see what the rest of the plants that I have produce.
