Spathoglottis (yellow)
 

I just picked this up at living color nursery. I have not seen the yellow variety before. It's very tall around 4ft to the top of the inflorescence.

Nice, and WOW that's a tall spike!

Ooh! That's lovely, Dave. What a great, cheerful yellow that is. And ditto on Royal's statement! I don't want my minis to see me looking at this thread, they may get very jealous.

I hate it when you southerners post these pics :evil: :biggrin: Causes us Nawtherners to envy y'all. :biggrin: :blushing:

It's really beautiful!!!

Way cool, Dave! :drool:

You did not mention a name on this one?? It is probably gracilis. We have one that has been in flower for months now. They of coarse bloom sequentially, so you should be able to enjoy it for quite some time. Nice plant

This looks a lot like my Spa. kimballiana var antiquensis. This thing blooms non-stop! Mine presently has over twenty spikes on it....and they just keep comin'!

I had to look at the tag it reads
Spathoglottis pilicata 'siam yellow'

Dave,
That's mislabeled. Jasen is right, its a kimballiana. Read my article on spathoglottis in AOS september issue. There are 2 kimballianas. Check out the lip.

Thank you :bowing I bought it at a local nursery and plan on letting them know they are mislabeld. Not that they will care;)

That's your article? Very nice, and very informative.

Thanks Royal. I'm working on part 2 right now. Will spaths grow outdoors in Texas? Is it commonly used in landscapes?

I was going to mention this superb article myself. I knew next to nothing about these beauties until I read it. Bravo.

Kim

Thanks Kim, part 2 will be about color.

Yes, they do well here - but our winter temps get too low to use them as landscape plants. As potted plants they do great! Again, very nice article - great photos too!

Here ya go Dave, this is how it blooms when it gets bigger! Everywhere....it's the one on the right. The one on the left is Spa. unguiculata 'Grapette'. They say full sun, but mine do just fine in about 60%.Attachment 18298

Do you leave yours in the pots? I was planning on planting mine

Yes, mine are still potted cuz I've got them in the greenhouse. My yard is already full...no more room!
