Darwinara Fuchs Cream Puff X Ascocentrum miniatum

[Merlyn]

She's settled into a 3 times a year blooming cycle. This is her third this year. I have her in a black plastic basket inside a clear plastic 4" pot. AliFlor leca except about 3/4" on top is sphag. In MY ENVIRONMENT I water her about every 3 days right now and fert about 2 times in 3 weeks.

Such a cutie! It sure takes after the Asco.miniatum.

Yes, I just googled to see what the Cream Puff looked like and it's pure white ! Can't see any of its influence at all, maybe it's the 3 times/year blooming.

Wow! I just love Asctm. miniatum crosses. All of them. Every last one. Bring it.

[Merlyn]

Does the miniatum bloom more than once a year ?

[fishmommy]

I recently attended a talk by Fuchs and he stated that ANY cross with A. miniatum yields an orange flower.

I'd LOVE to see Neofinetia falcata in bright orange !! Seems they have them in red, yellow, golden yellow, and solid orange-pink !

The new hybrids bloom several times a year. The moment the last flower fades you need to cut the spike to tell the plant it needs to produce another bloom. Your orchid will produce flowers every 3 months. This was created for the cut flower florists...

Fantastic color! I'm going to have to get one of these.

It's like "Honey I blew up the miniatum!"
