Oh CRIKEY!!! Thanks for the link Fermi, I totally missed this one. I'll have to give my "NOTIFY" function a good kick.

Not surprised to see you here Derek. :)

David, thank for sharing the photos, what a show!
I've heard some NZ nursery use Disa in cutlfower bussiness. Can NZ gower make Disa flower year arround or just in one season?
I live in yunnan province of China which I presume very suitable for Disa growing here.
And would like to have a try of importing some seedlings or blooming size plants.

Amazing flowers.  Not something I've managed to be successful with, despite trying them a couple of times.  Great to see the show at the beginning of this thread.  What a display!

My first to flower this year a bit late as they got very cold over winter.
I think these 2 are the best for cut flowers, santa rosa flower stem is 60cm and kewensis 40cm.
Disa santa rosa,
Disa kewensis.

Really beautiful. I'm impressed by the bud count on these, compared with Disa uniflora.

The icy lemon of Disa uniflora alba is gorgeous.    now there's a plant to confound the innocent onlooker.... Disa.... yes..... uniflora...not..... alba..... not  ;D ;)  Ids there any wonder the poor gardener gets confused? !  :-\

Love the uniflora alba, Derek.  Such a clean flower.  I so wish I could manage to grow these.  ::)

Thay are scrumptios aren't they? Derek you are surely the master of these beautiful orchids. I once had an African ground orchid called Satyrium? Do you grow that?

Stunners all Derek, I have my first Disas from Lars out in the garden, maybe next year they will be big enought to flower!
P.s... How do you over-winter them? Curious as with lows of -25 in winter here, mine must move indoors!

Hristo they stay in a cold greenhouse but here in Sussex we do not usualy have very cold winters but last winter they went down to minus 8c and one lot in the Alpine house were frozen solid but came through OK I have a friend in South Africa she told me she had seen them growing on a ledge behind a frozen waterfall.
