Pleione Formosana Oriental Splendour

[Jennyfleur]

Some more pleiones for you

Two of the bulbs (which account for three of the flowers) are Pleione Formosana Oriental Splendour. I have four bulbs in this tray and one only put its spike out last week, so I'm hoping the others will last til that one comes out! Even though two of the flowers aren't fully out yet, I thought I'd include the second photo so that you can see the differences between the markings of the two varieties I've got in there.

Gorgeous. I have a formosana in flower just now I keep meaning to post the pictures I took the other day. Mine is more like one with the red in the lip.

I really like the white and yellow lipped one. Is that Oriental Splendour or something else. I need to look out for one

[Jennyfleur]

Hi Rosie, yes the Oriental Splendour is the one with the white lip

[RosieC]

May I also ask where you got it from

[Jennyfleur]

Of course you may All my pleiones come from Edrom (Buy Pleiones from Edrom Nurseries.) They have the O.S. on offer at the moment, as I discovered when I ordered some plants for the garden and got a couple for my other half's mum for mother's day

Cool, not come accross that nursary before so will have to add it to my list.

I've found them very friendly (both on the phone and on e-mail) and all the plants I've had from them have been very good quality

This orchid is unreal to me. Congrats.
