Eric, by this very long flowering period, do you mean that individual flowers last a long time or that bulbs of this variety open their flowers over a long period, rather than all at once.... ???

Sam -
Wharfedale "Pine Warbler" is indeed a fine hybrid that should be in everyones collection. An easy, reliable clone that makes huge bulbs and multiplies quickly . Major point with Pine Warbler is it"s very long flowering period which starts in November and this year is still going strong mid March. No other Pleione to my knowledge gets even close.

Eric

Now i'm sure that i want this pleione !
this fall you will perhaps have a bulb for me ?

Maggi ,individual flowers do last a very long time but I did really mean that a panfull of bulbs flowers over many months.

Nice David. My Forrestii are very slow this year and even grandiflora will flower before them this year. :o

Two more that opened yesterday :

1) Pleione bromo - new for me - the picture doesn't do it fully justice  :( - the pink of the petals and the yellow of the throat is much more pronounced in reality !
2) Pleione eiger "To be" - from the same seedpod as "To ah" posted a few days ago.
