Jackfowlieara (Iwanagara) Appleblossom - Orchid Board

silken · #1 06-01-2015, 09:23 PM

This blooms every May for me. This year it had 8 blooms on the spike which is more than in the past as the plant has finally matured. But sadly as I was lifting it off a top shelf, the ceiling fan blade lopped off the 3 top buds and damaged a fourth. So I only have 4 blooms. It has a nice fragrance too.

Gorgeous! Congratulations! I really love seeing pictures of this one.
I gave mine away for the space and it is one that I often regret not having now. The flowers smell just like my Jonathan apple tree blossoms...very nice.

These are really beautiful!
Do you have a full plant pic?

Damn I miss mine... 28 bulbs, seven growths, and last flowering gave some 55 flowers.
These seem very hard to come by in Europe.

Here is my plant. I got it almost rootless with 3 small growths 5 years ago. It has bloomed on one growth each year the last 3 years. Each year the new pseudo bulb has gotten larger and with 8 buds this year, I think it is finally mature. It would be nice if it would branch out. There are two quite viable looking eyes on the latest blooming growth so maybe it will. It has tons of roots and seems fairly healthy now.

My friend in Romania managed to find one. I could ask her if she knows where to get one within Europe for you if you like.
