Thanks, Fred, and I believe that this comports well with all examples I've seen. One of my Stanhopea tigrina plants is bloomed three days ago (still looks OK) with three flowers on the inflorescence, the dent on the hypochil, 140 wide flowers, and another spike coming; I guess that it is well along the way to recovery, and I hope that my two peloric plants also recover soon.
I noticed that the hybrid plants with Stan. tigrina in their lineage are also either blooming or in "spike" now, so apparently the tigrina species dominates the blooming schedule for hybrids.
Others that are preparing are Stan. panamensis and Stan. impressa, I think.
Thanks, again,
Paul Reeve
