Three Orchidview violaceas and a fasciata.
Smells amazing. It needs repotting. I hope it will get bigger and flatter when it is in a better mix.
http://www.benbelton.com/onlinepics/..._bb_092509.jpg I've posted this one before. Not the best color, but I love the green tips. I'm hoping it will be better next time. Its a first bloom with only a 3" leaf span. http://www.benbelton.com/onlinepics/..._gt_092009.jpg This one smells amazing too. Might have just a touch more pink on it than the picture shows. Another first bloom seedling with a 3" leaf span. Should be much better next year if I can get it potted. http://www.benbelton.com/onlinepics/...lba_092509.jpg fasciata 'Shaffers' It was discussed in a thread last year that this might actually be a richenbachia. I don't care. Its awesome. http://www.benbelton.com/onlinepics/...fers_09509.jpg |
Great blooms! I like the more drawn out tips of the first violacea, but then I also like the second one because it has that green flush on the tips, but then the third one is great because it's such a nice white with just a delicate pink blush!!!
OK, so I love all three! And that fasciata is gorgeous! Btw, just looked up Phal. reichenbachia pictures and it is very similar. The main difference I see is that reichenbachia has hair on the lip, whereas fasciata only has a few recurved projections, almost like snake teeth. However, given the potential for natural variation, this may or may not be a distinguishing characteristic. Besides, as you said: who cares? It's awesome! |
Ben which cross did the first plant and second come from!!! All look great :) thanks for sharing ;)
|
#1 is Rachel's Blue Eyes x Gulfstream Blue (Cross #NO385)
#2 is Blue Genes x Indigo Blue Cross #?? I'll try to update in the morning. My plants are in the basement. Its midnight, but I went down and looked for you, but forgot the cross number on the trip back. Its too far to go again :-) |
hahahah Ben, thanks for taking a look for me!
I still havent gotten around to ordering the p. violaceas, what is WRONG with me, oh yes my addiction to laelias :S |
Wow, wonderful flowers. I love them all!
|
Gorgeous! That first one is nice and dark.
