Ascofinetia 1st bloom

[Don Perusse]

I love this one..Vanda family are my favorites. No room for more at present....what next? Ahh, yes, another G/H or an addition to!

Beautiful! Ascofinetia is one of my faves...I have Ascf Cherry Blossom which is pink...I'd LOVE a blue one!!!

[Neverend]

That is so blue!

FYI on grex names

Ascofinetia = ascocentrum x neofinetia
Nakamotoara = ascocenda (ascocentrum x vanda) x neofinetia

The flower form of Grandma M's Nakamotoara resembles the neofinetia parent, but it is also influenced by Vanda tesselata (a parent in Ascda. Blue Tahourdin).

Marilyn, where did you find this one? I Googled to no avail. LOL

Gwen, I bought it from EOM - $15.00

cneos, Thanks for the correction. I posted the name from the catalog (and label) but when I looked it up in The Vanda book by David Grove, the cross is listed as 'Nakamotoara'. I changed my records. Thanks for the information, I appreciate it.

Hi Marilyn ... According to RHS, this hybrid has not yet been registered. Do you know who the hybridizer is? Perhaps Michael Blietz at EOM?

This type of breeding results in compact, multi-keikied plants that bear delightfully scented, vividly colored flowers on graceful inflorescences. You have nice display for the plant's first bloom. When it grows up, it should be pretty special!

Good luck and thanks for sharing.

I believe it was Mike Bliets. Their listing said that they were working on other neo crosses. If they all turn out as nice as this one,I hope they do some soon.
