Default V Mary Foster
V. Mary Foster (V. merrillii x V. sanderiana)

Registered in 1945 and awarded once (cultivar: 'Alpha') in 1961. Other than that I have not found any other info or pictures for comparison
I'm wondering if I should possibly bring it for judging since it is not a common plant and doesn't hold 97 previous awards

This was given to me by my dear friend Ron but when I got it, it looked MUCH different

It was a mother plant with two keiki growing from the bottom. I've since removed the mother (and passed her along to my friend Linda R) and the two plants in the 10" basket now are two keikis which have grown ...a lot!

Here's what it looked like when it first bloomed:

When we first found the current spike, we also found 2 spikes in the second keiki...one of them has since blasted but there's one still to come

She's a beautiful and unusual color. I would take her for judging if I was you- espec if the other spike flowers at the same time.

Aaaaaaw, what a beauty and what a difference with last year, both plant and flowers look so much better! This is what I call *good growing!*.
Thanks for sharing your beauty with us!

Very nice. I like the combination of colors (pinkish white and golden brown) and the shape of the blooms.

Oh, if I bring it for judging, you are a definite part of the trip!

We'll just have to see what it looks like on the 22nd.
Sometimes we have really great plants in bloom but the timing is not right for having them judged
