Luc  - An unusuall clone of "Deriba", with no sign of any yellow.

Eric

It's a new one flowering for the first time with me.
I was just as surprised as you not seeing any yellow..   ???  I hope it's correctly named - I'll make some enquiries with the supplier.

Hi Luc,
   I don't think your Asama pan is 'crowded'.
   If that's how you planted them for the coming growing season, then fine.
   It's showing all the traits I value in a good cultivar.
   How big are the flowers?
   Do you think the grex has any advantage over Vesuvius?
   By 'crowded' I mean a pan which appears to have been just assembled for a show and, one suspects, will be dis-assembled immediately after the show!!
   
   Apart from that, do you have any 'provenance' info. for your Mt Omei?

Hi Eric,
   My photo R6.40 above is 'Natascha'.
   The 'Craven' photo you showed has a Shantung lip but I've never seen petals like that on a Shantung!
   Has anyone else got a view on those pink petals?

Hi Tim

I did purchase "Natasha" from John Craven many years ago on a couple of occasions and that photo is a fairly good likeness to the Pleione I received.

Hi Tim !
I'm quite happy with my asama - I like it for it's strong colour, reliability and it multiplies extremely well. I should have some to spare if you're interested.  The flowers are between 8 and 10 cm and last for about a fortnight depending on how warm it gets.
When I mentioned that the pan gets overcrowded I meant that it can be a nuisance if the flowers cannot fully develop and you can't admire their beauty in full.
I find the grex more reliably multiplying than Vesuvius does (with me anyway...  ::) )  I've grown V. 'Tawny owl' but lost it  :'( - now I only grow V. aphrodite which did well last year but now shows a bud sitting there unchanged for at least 2 to 3 weeks... which starts to worry me.
I do prefer your V. ember to both of these though.

As to the Pleionoides from Mt Omei - I got it from Ian Butterfield who simply states in his catalogue that it was grown from original stock collected on Mt Omei.. (China I guess) - maybe somebody else knows more about it.  I like the dark red lip though !

Cheers,
luc

A few more from me;
Piton
another Ueli Wackernagel
Quizapu Peregrine
coronaria
Edgecumbe - 2 seedlings flowering for the first time. The first I am very pleased with as it is a good sized flower & vigorous. Unfortunately the petals are showing more pink hue then actually present.
formosana Clare - the lemon yellow lip markings have almost faded away completely, so an almost completely white flower. Has anybody else had this happen to their plants?

Pete,

Wonderful pics.  The Pl. coronaria is so different (and SO good), and the second edgecumbe seedling has fascinating colourations within it.  Beautiful!!

A couple of Mystery Pleione.

Mystery 1 - This appeared from a batch of Versailles bulbils I was given and with this lovely lip someone must be able to identify it.

Mystery 2 - This beauty was sold to me as a Glandiflora  :o  It has similarities to Krakatoa but flowers much later,does not change colour and is a different shape.

All opinions welcome.

Another impressive couple of series Eric !!  :o
Can't help you with the ID's I'm afraid - but both very nice flowers.

I've rarely seen such a pale P. chunii.. it's almost white ??  Looks great.
Santorini 4 is another gem ! Beautiful lip !
Love the shantung 'Christine' as well - I don't think I've seen it before.

I'm coming to the conclusion that there's none I don't like...  ;D
