Pale form of P. Confirmation and P. x lagenaria from today.

Hi Karel

Do you find your x Lagenaria is as vigorous as x Confirmation ?

Hi Eric.
I think, there's not many visible differences between Confirmation and x lagenaria. Both grow quite well.

Tomas, a warm welcome from Switzerland and congratulations on your beautiful P. maculata...when you say it is your first I imagine you mean from seed?  How long did it take to flower?

Thank you, Robin. I bought one pseudobulb three years ago, now I have two big pseudobulbs (only...). The second one has bud too.

A warm welcome from me too Tomas.

Fab to see all these Autumn flowering pleiones, sadly prooving to be ungrowable in my wood stove non centrally heated home!
BUT... looking forward to Spring with a FAB order of Pleiones from Maren Talbot at Heritage Orchids, received them in the post 2 days after posting from the UK!!
Great value on the whole as compared to eBay -
Off eBay - Zeus Weinstein Desert Sands for £25 anyone?

Hi Chris,
 
I'm glad you liked the pleiones I sent you. But praise is due to our dear Post Office for getting them to the centre of Bulgaria in just 2 days!!!

My Pln praecox have been going for a month now and there is no end in sight.  Every time I look at them it makes me smile. And the perfume is just wonderful.

Hi Maren,

ANother beautiful praecox clone. I get more and more convince that i need to get another. Mine is so borring compared to the other i see posted here.

[Hristo]

Hi Maren,
That's a super pan of praecox, I've got only one bulb which arrived in the spring of this year, flowered it this autumn and must now see if it can survive the winter in my house in leaf!

Thanks Chris !
I had been searching on e-bay.com worldwide and for some reason they didn't show !
I keep finding it funny that people on e-bay sell or buy things so much more expensive than you can find them in the regular trade..
