Pleione 2014

[Roma]

Pleione forrestii
It has twin flowers this year.  It has come out a bit green in the picture.  My camera does that with yellows sometimes.

A new flowering for me, Rakata x grandiflora (yellow form.) A nice big flower.
I have managed to get a better colour photo with Slugkiller's advice, showing the true yellow tones.

Great flower, Pete - these yellow/orange shades are my favourites. Is this a cross made by you? Well done if so!

Superb plant, Pete !!

That's a really good cross Pete, congratulations! I too like these orangey shades and it's good to see more and more of these being produced.

Cheers

I've started the new season with P. Cuxius. There is interesting to see pinkish petals compared to P. x confusa.

Hi Alex.
No, not mine unfortunately. I was given some seedlings ex-flask from a friend who made the cross I think. Unfortunately she has now given up growing Pleiones as far as I know, so I don't think it will get a registered name.

[Alex]

It wasn't Kath, was it? I hope she hasn't given up. You might not remember, but you put me in touch with her 4 or 5 years ago to get my first coronaria.

It is a lovely cross and well worth registering. Surely you could do it with the breeder's permission?

Two more Rakata x grandiflora flowers, using a "normal" grandiflora and good old Katla flowering.

Lovely plant, Peter. You could register on behalf of your friend. There are quite a lot of crosses in the Register where the name of the breeder is different from the name of the registrant.

[Paul Cumbleton]

Peter,
If these were from Kath, she may yet register it if you suggest it to her, even though she has now stopped growing & breeding herself. Registering on someone else's behalf is permitted, but only with the permission of the breeder.

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I'm enjoying viewing all of your photos and it's interesting to find out what's flowering where and when. I thought that I would share a few images of the two Pleione which are flowering for me at the moment. They are both very recent additions to my collection.

The first one is Pl.Glacier Peak, followed by two unselected clones of Pl.Hertha Kretz individually and next to each other for size comparison.

Regards, Kevin
