Pleione early 2009.

[Pete Clarke]

Pleione Brigadoon.
Katla.
another forrestii that I got from a German supplier last season. I think it is nice to see all the variations of forrestii people are growing. (This one is faintly scented.)

Lovely pix, Pete! Photogenic flowers, aren't they?

Here there's just one in flower, very untypically but one of my favourites, the yellow (indeed not as pale as the pic) Shantung 'Ducat'

thank's all for sharing this beauties 

[Pete Clarke]

Great pics Eric. The Riah Shan is a terrific colour & unusual - superb.

I've thought the Riah Shan is autumn flowering hybrid (P. bulbocodioides x P. maculata)?

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Great show everyone - the season seems to be well on the way.
I'll try and post some of mine tonight.

Eric,
I knew that Leda could be very different (love your first clone !), but it's the first time I see Zeus Weinstein as your nr 2 !  Astonishing !

Ria shan is a beauty as well - is it a rather smallish flower ??

Here a new flower from today :

Tongriro

Hi Eric,

Are you sure that your second picture is Leda and not Piton ? I saw it and immediately thought it was this hybrid....
Anyway, you have some fantastic Pleiones !

Regards,

Michael

Hi Luc

Yes, Riah Shan flower is a little on the small side but most bulbs usually have two or three blooms which more than make up for this. These also flower over several weeks.

Karel-t

Yes,these are spring-flowering always flowering around mid March.

Michael

Yes, this is Leda not Piton . Leda flowers vary greatly in colour and shape .This has to be one of the best hybrids of recent registrations . I will try to post some more different clones.

Eric

[Eric Locke]

Two more clones of Leda.

Pleione Leda is amazing !!!!

About Pleione Riah Shan, I'm happy to see a picture of it, I bought one last week but I've never found any photograph of the flower.
Like karel_t, I was surprised to know that it is a spring-flowering Pleione and not a automn-flowering one as one of its parent is Pleione maculata.
Anyway, all these Pleione are fantastic !!!

Thank you

 I am amazed at the number of Pleiones shown in full flower at this time of year.  My collection, although healthy have not yet started into growth.  Have the varieties shown come into flower naturally or have they been artificially "forced" into bloom by heat.
