Steve,
I'm inclined to agree with you about the lack of winter cold.
I've just counted up and there are a couple of ventricosums as well as two macranthos clones and a froschii that have all produced
fewer, weaker new shoots that are initially albino when they first appear.

Updates showing the last week's growth.
Since the nights warmed up at the end of last week and we lost the threat of frost the shoots have really started to move.
The 2nd photo shows 'Gabriela' and 'sabine alba' approaching full bloom.
Between them there are somewhere around 55 flowers.
Gabriela has so many shoots that I've had to support them with thin stakes as they develop otherwise the ones on the edge run
out of room and get pushed over.
I'll remove them when the shoots are fully developed and stronger.
They're pretty weak as they shoot up.
The last photo is the hybrid 'Ursel'. Nice smallish yellow flowers,

a couple more

Hi,
a couple more out today including my new favourite hybrid.
This is a seedling Sabine flowering for the first time, with a very favourable set of characteristics from each parent.
Sabine is usually quite a short grower, inherited from fasciolatum and also usually has
it's slightly bulbous lip.
This clone is taller growing, from the other parent macranthos and also has a nice round lip.
In addition the flower appears to be completely albino and large, about the size of a good tibeticum.
It has only just opened yesterday so should mature and whiten quickly.
It should make quite a potful in  a couple of years.
Next up is a fasciolatum that has had a hard life.
I repotted it in 2009 and it must have dried out as it barely appeared in 2010.
Then we had the hard winter of 2010/11 and again was set back.
Now finally getting going with nine growths and seven flowers.
Regards,
David

Hi,

a couple of mature plants.
'Sabine alba' now with over twenty flowers and increasing well.
This one is much closer to fasciolatum in height than the previous one posted.
'Inge' now also with over twenty flowers.
