I have seen the same appearance with Cypripedium and there is was due to too much sun (when the leaves are young) - I think so.
Most Pleiones do like colder temperatures in the morning and feel very well! We often have temperatures near 4°C even in July or August and no demages. Maybe it could be a fungus, too.

Min winter temp -8 or -9°C. Max summer temp 40°C. Thankfully, maybe once or twice a year only.

It is possible to extend the Pleione flowering season to 11 months, as there are some Chinese Maculata clones ,I have seen, that start flowering at the end of August. ;)

Hi everybody.
This year I've tried for first time my own crossing. So I've now several green seed pods and I'm looking forward for the result  :P.

Hans - I've very bad experience with sprinkling on opened flowres  :(. Do you think it's OK?

Hi Karel

Your seedpod is coming on well and should be ready to sow in a flask sometime in November.

Karel,
I have no problems with the flowers of the very late flowering Pleiones due to wet weather. I grow all my Pleiones outdoors (not protected from rain) from May to Oktober.

My last Pleione to flower this year is a clone of Pleionoides. :o :o :o
I often have my last flowers into July, but these are always Hookeriana, which this year only made it to mid-June.
