racing for the show...

Here are some pics of my lepanthes telipogoniflora two days before our local show. I was hoping that all the spikes would have open blooms, but today I'm hoping for any.

WoW

Not seen that many inflorescence before.

I counted 34 spikes each in a stage of setting bud. The most I have gotten is 7 flowers open at one time. I think the trick this time was unavoidably shocking it a little during another show week when I was out of town. It suffered and each spike stopped producing. After about a week they all came up in sequence.

I will post the results.

Jean< The show is Sat and Sun. Judging is Sat morning. Things aren't looking good.

Saw your plant at the show and was duly impressed. Too bad they didn't quite make it. It would have been pulled for judging if it had.
