Rob are those tribal tats? I want a tattoo, and have the design, but I'm scared of the possible pain

I found them all    Is it the same picture every time, or does it change?

Me too, you could have a clock attached so that we can have a little competition to see who is fastest

[mark smyth]

Yes Fermi but not one - 5!

When I had a tattoo done 20 odd years ago, the advice was to avoid bony spots to avoid the worst pain. It wasn't that painful but I remember wincing a lot. The pain's part of the whole ritual ...

Two Pleiones with forrestii blood within their heritage opened their flowers.

Zeus Weinstein and Bromo

I'm especially happy with this Bromo as the flower is large and has a nice colour (something between white, yellow and light peach)

[ThomasB]

That Dr. Mo Weatherhead looks good but Kohala 'Pied Crow' is gorgeous! 
I'm waiting impatiently to see how the Kohala I bought this winter from Ian Butterfield turns out.

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Bromo is so delicate Thomas, one of my favourites too - mine is some 10 days away from flowering I guess !

Rob, as Thomas, Kohala and Dr Mo weatherhead are my favourites in this series.
Will have to see how the Leda's multiplie Rob !

A wee reminder, Gentleman, that the preferred size for forum pix is 760pixels wide......

Hello Maren
 Yes I think you are right, an interesting topic.
 It's flower is not typical forrestii's as you said, and I can select 4 forms from them,
 white flower with yellow lip and red spot-white flower with purple spot-cream or light green-golden
 If these are hybrid, who is another one of parent? grandiflora?

[karel_t]

Yijiawang - by my opinion they all are true P. forrestii. I can't see any hybridisation signs. I'll meet Ian next week so I'll ask him, but I think so.

Hallo Rob,
beautiful flower, your Dr. Mo Wheatherhead. Where did you get it from? It's not on Ian Butterfields list.

The second of my springflowering ones is Pln. Eiger 'Snowflake'.

[Graham Catlow]

Pleione forrestii and P.humilis.
This is the first time humilis has flowered for me. Should the red markings always be red because a couple of these have deep pink markings.

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Wonderful display Graham !! 
The pictures look as if they were taken out in the wild !!!  Very well done !! 

[Houseslippers]

Yes, I agree, a really beautiful display. This looks like a semi-permanent set-up - am I right?
