Here's another from me

Pleione grandiflora.

Another form of Pleione coronaria.

Alex, that Pleione coronaria is absolutely gorgeous!  

Once more I see why I like the coronaria crosses so much - unfortunately there are only a few (and less are available) so far.

Alex,

That is a verry beautiful coronaria. I find it is the best form I have seen so far. Most coronaria don't open the flowers in such a good way.


Rob,

Your unknown Chinese Pleione, could it be x barbarae? If have a similar looking form of x barbarae that I got from a German breeder who imported it from China.

Alex,
I'm joining everyone else : "That is one beautiful coronaria !!!!" 

[Luc Gilgemyn]

I tend to agree with Pieter Rob, the one you showed surely looks like xbarbarae..    Maybe Paul C. could confirm ??

[ThomasB]

Flowering today are Pleione formosana and one I received as bulbocodioides but I'm not sure about it's identity. Any other suggestions maybe? 

[Pieter]

Hello Rob

Yes I meant the Pleione on the picture you already posted. x barbarae is a verry variable species and red does occur in the flowers. If you look at the picture of the x barbarae I posted you will see that the lip has red and purple/pink markings.
Maby you should post a picture of the other mistery Pleione as well. To compare the plants.
Paul Cumbleton will certainly be aible to give the correct name of your quistionmark Pleiones. 


Hello Thomas

I think it sure is related to bulbocodioides. Possibly a dark form of P. x taliensis?
It sure is a verry beautiful Pleione. I like the color and the shape. Nice!
