At a recent show I impressed myself and behaved (only because I know I need to save space and money for more and more shows):
Paph. Venustum x Sib (in bud, one fan)
Phal. Stuartiana (in spike)
Vuyl. Melissa Brianne 'Dark' (bareroot with two newer growths, maybe I'll get spikes this summer?)
Zglm. Louisendorf (in bloom with two spikes, third short spike on its way)
The latter is actually a confusing plant in terms of its name and registration. It is basically the same plant I already have, Zglm. Rhein 'Moonlight', if you look them up on RHS they have the same parents. Dunno how they do this but it's been done. Anywho wasn't going to get this plant, changed my mind at the last minute. Mostly I did because the one I already have is peloric (I love it actually) and this one is not. It's what the flower is "supposed" to look like. That said the second spike is actually on a second plant that happens to share the pot. This plant is partially peloric (pseudo-peloric??). It smells so nice, like a rose really. Which is funny now that I think about it because my Rhein 'Moonlight' has a much sweeter smell though it doesn't last as long in the day. I'm going to have to pay closer attention...
