I/W grower, blooms in the summer.

Ive often entertained the notion this might be worth crossing with Ang leonis to maintain similar plant structure but get better flowers.

Not sure they are compatible but I don't see how that kind of cross will get better flowers...well, I prefer species.

Here is my Ang. leonis:

Higher flower count, green anther caps?

Between Fred Clark and Leon Glicenstein/Hoosiers intergeneric crosses, I don't think it's too far from plausible. Not that all or many of them are improvements on either comprising parent, but it is sort of fun to see what happens.

very nice, do these like a lot of humidity? How do you provide it?

Tom-DE · #6 10-10-2010, 06:59 AM

50% or higher is enough for both species. My plants are outside during the warmer months and the outdoor humidity can be lower but not often. You should not have much of problem with 50% humidity since you are in FL.

Really nice. The flowers are so delicate and almost see through, really pretty!
