Yet another delenatii dunkel

[smweaver]

That's outstanding. Really a fantastic looking plant and bloom.

Hahaha, I knew Franciskaner "dunkel" but I didn´t know it ment dark, so I prefer it to kristal, of course.
One of my favourite beer.

It´s lovely this dunkel or vinicolor.
One of my "whises"

Gorgeous, love the dark colouring of that lip.

Stunning! And I love shots of flowers that have the whole plant in it. Great great plant!!

Franziskaner Weissbier, also my favorite!
I have a bottle of the lighter version (Naturtrüb) in my hand at the moment.

I also have a few bottle of Dunkel in my fridge. love them both!

Ok, so back to the original purpose,
I love the leaves of this plant!

How often does this flower? and how long does the bloom last? any scent?

Thanks you.

Single growth plant usually bloom doesn't last a long time. About 3 weeks. When the plant gets larger, the blooms seems to last longer. She is still blooming right now with one flower and in fact growing a new spike. It's fragrant. Sort of a lemony rose. Very distinct.

Thanks.

Ok, so it is pretty much typical of parvis. that blooms do not last long.

My Armeni White also lasts barely over a month or so. no scent here though. I should try delenatti or ho chi min. lemony rose sounds really good!

I just wish the pouch was larger on delenatii. leaves are amazing, well, can't be perfect I guess.

Not true with all parvis. Paph armeniacum can last up to 2-3 months easy.

[NYCorchidman]

really???
That sounds great! but I also read some unattractive stuff about growing armeniacum.
I am thinking of getting Norito Hasegawa. I know it is not golden yellow, but some are quite yellow, although most are yellow green, which I also find pretty.
maybe hopefully easier to grow than armeniacum too?

Do you grow other parvis??

Hi NYOrchidman, I am mostly species collector and I have all the parvi species except their album varieties.

I have a couple of parvi hybrids namely, Liberty Taiwan and supposed to arrive soon Magic Lantern alba.

I like the parvi hybrids however, space is a reality that I cannot afford and one that I had to choose. So i opt out of the hybrids and lean towards the species.

I have a hangianum in sheath so that one is going to be posted soon.
