Stanhopea Hidden Agenda

[Gwallogwyn]

Ths summer was cool and wet and my stanhopeas didn't do any thing. Now a hand full have decided it's
time to bloom. This one is Hidden Agenda.

Amazingly beautiful blooms. Can you share what the background of this hybrid is, please?

Oh my! Fabulous!

How many stans do you have? Are some easier to grow and bloom than others?

This is one of Doug Pulley's hybrids and is Stan. insignis X posadae.

I have lost track of how many I have , some where between 150 to 200.
For me I find the hybrids are a little easier than the species. I don't or can't grow any of the primative species. I don't have a greenhouse and grow under lights. My conditions are not warm enough for them.

I'm totally in awe! 150 -200 under lights. Thanks for the tip on the hybrids. My four are rescue noids. If I ever get another it will be a hybrid. Can you find some to bloom in every season? I can only imagine the scents in your growing area.

Beautiful! This hybrid definitely improved on the parents!
