"Papillon" makes very large bulbs but can be difficult to flower ."Dali" is just difficult. :'( ,which is a shame as it really is a lovely clone.

Very interested to see "New Forrest" ,as I tried this clone many years ago and lost it without ever flowering it.

Beautiful flowers. Here's one that took my fancy, so I bought it off Rob Potterton at the Glasgow show last weekend. 'Jackdaw'. It has been brightening up my kitchen for the last 9 days!

The last 2 xbarbarae clones to flower. The first is flowering for me after 6 years, when I was given them as small bulbils. It is a much bigger & brighter flower than any of my others.

Ian Butterfields stand at Malvern  - excellent as usual. Some of those that appealed to me;
Alishan "Mothers Day"
Kenya "Bald Eagle"
Volcanello "Song Thrush"
Leda

Eric, P. bulbocodioides ‘New Forrest’ is easy grow selection by my opinion. It’s very good propagated and flower every year.

Hans - you have got really amazing collection of  P. x barbarae. :o

Here are several new flowers from today. Another nice selection of Santorini and some P. x barbarae.

The show keeps going on !

Wonderful pix everyone.
Mine have finished flowering and I found this on some leaves of Pleione formosana alba 'Polar sun'.

Any idea what it is ? Is it harmful ?  What can be done about it ??
Thanks for any help

Hi Luc

I was hoping, perhaps Paul C might answer this for you.
This could be Fungal, but is it possible that this plant has been subject to too much sun/heat ?
If it is Fungal I would treat with a systemic treatment.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your tip.
It surely cannot have been too warm, but I noticed this just 2 or 3 days after I've brought my Pleione to their Summer (outdoors) residence.. ;D
And I remember that one of the first nights they were out - the temperature dropped to only +1°C or so...  could it possibly be from a cold shock ??  ??? ???

Luc -you could be correct about this as sudden temperature changes do affect leaf colour as can often be seen if pruning shrubs late in the year or not hardening off plants well before placing outside. I always try to put any Pleione outside only in a warm spell.
Hope these plants recover for you.
