Sogo Lit-Sunny
This one really is dependable. Only ever has a single spike but upwards of 20 flowers, multi-branched.
I crossed this earlier this year and have seedlings that have been flasked.
I decided to stake the spike for the first time as it has a typical arch, like equestris. Is grown much taller than usual ( about 12 inches, at least ). I don't think I like it staked, I thought it would stay the same height....

It was a battle to straighten the spike, I really thought it would snap ( hence all the clips )

its spiking again, a single spike. I can't get it to have more than one, but it sure is dependable. I am not going to stake the spike this time.
I crossed it with a big spotted flower. Very well known. Flasks apparently ready next month.

Update
I have seedlings - see photo. I only requested a single flask - probably just as well. These are the same age as the Nobby's Amy seedlings on a separate thread ! I am told that sometimes the slow growers turn out to be the best crosses, but I think that's an oldgrowers tale 
BTW the white powdery stuff is a home-made insecticide residue.
The plant has 2 spikes - so hopefully the show this year will be spectacular. I have staked only one, left the other.

Congrats on getting the second spike. It is a lovely plant and such pretty flowers. And some seedlings from this one and a spotted flower, should be interesting.  Nice growing!! |
