Phal. Tying Shin Cupid x violacea (Indigo)
 

These are three seedlings from the same flask, growing side by side since November 2014. When I de-flasked these seedlings two years ago, I counted 30 plants. I still have 25 seedlings. These three are the largest.

I am fascinated by the variety of leaf color.

It will be interesting to see how different the blooms are!

I know! It has been a long time to get this far. I have seen the flowers of both parents. Tying Shin 'Cupid' is a pink flower and Indigo is a dark reddish purple flower--did not look blue to me but I suppose in the blue color hue.

A benefit of getting plants from flask-age, is to see how each plant is different from its siblings as they mature and grow.

Very different colors and even shapes. Will be fun when they bloom, waiting, waiting, waiting.

No-Pro-mwa, these are the three largest seedlings, I have twenty two more that are smaller. I am growing all of them into bloom size to see the flowers. I will probably keep these three and sell the rest, hopefully a year from now?

Good luck, but always worth it.

Wow - interesting! I really like the really dark foliage on the far left plant.

Me too :) I would love one of them.

A year from now, when these seedlings show their first bloom, I will have too many, so I will probably need new homes for most of them....(is this how one becomes a vendor?)
