That's such a super nice confusa Erling!!!
It's the only confusa clone I've seen so far with dominant albiflora genes, resulting in very fringed lip. I hoped Cuxius would have the same feature, but alas, forrestii genes have the upper hand on the lip.

It was a pleasant surprise to see a lot forrestii being offered this winter.

You are right Khadija, here is one of them: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-bulbs-of-Pleione-forrestii-yellow-flower-/271791405374?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f4807b93e
Unfortunately, Chinese supplier uses my photo of P. forrestii, so I assume there is no flowering plant in China  ???

Hello
Do anyone know what happened with Mr. Gunter Blankenburg. I have not seen anything for sale from him at Ebay, and his web page can not be found. Hope everything is well with him.

Hi Erling,

I wondered the same and with help of a friend who lives in Kerpen, I found out that Günter Blankenburg passed away in 2014.
I hope you're not too sad because Günter was a happy guy when I met him in 2013, so I will send you a bulb of the best plant I got from him, Pleione Glacier Peak 'Fantasia'.

That's very kind of you Daniel.
In memory of mr. Blaneknburg, he registered two hybrids in 2009:

Alde Saran (Blankenburg/Bergel) bulbocodioides x coronaria
Jens Blaneknburg (Blankenburg) Vesuxius x coronaria

Oh dear! this is so sad!  I ordered some pleione from him last year! Very healthy and nice plants indeed! was looking forward to buy from him this year again. So just like Erling i was wondering why he doesn't sell anymore.  ???
May he rest in peace!

Gregor

I am so sory to hear. I have been buying a lot of plants from Blankenburg in the past years, and always good quality. Thats is why I was wondering, why he did not have plants for sale this year. Thank you for uour offer of teh Bulb of Pleione Glacier Peak 'Fantsia', but please give it to someone else, since I already have a pot full of that clone. I bought it from him a few years ago as bulbils, and had it flowering for the first time spring 2014.
He will be missed in Pleione cirkles.

It is very sad news that Mr. Blankenburg passed away. You may remember that last year I ordered from him some pleiones and they travelled from Germany to Slovakia through New Zealand... Almost most of them died in the summer. Maybe they felt that Mr. Blankenburg passed away too. Rest in peace :(

Very nice clones on display Peter. I am particularly impressed by your chunii x humilis and your Sifaka clone. Very nice indeed.

In Denmark I am enjoying the fight between nature and mankind in the comparison of Pleione xconfusa with Pleione Cuxius. I think I deside on a draw  ;).

Both flowers are realy fantastic. I think I will call my Pleione xconfusa 'Blankenburg' after the late Gunter Blankenburg form whom I got this clone.

And Peter, I have som Pleione Edgecombe and Pleione Sifaka ready to flower, I am so exited and grateful. Thank you.
