Hmmm, lucky you!!!

First praecox in flower here too, a very pale form from Thailand.

[Slug Killer]

Pascal my Thai praecox are only just starting to show new shoots but one definatly has a flower bud. Others which are a mixed bunch of what I believe to be Chinese and Indian are all out with some going over.

First saxicola of the year in flower here.

[Slug Killer]

Another early one Pascal, just made August. Mine are not even showing new buds yet. Is that the true colour or is it more pink?

More pink. I used a ringflash to better view the lip but haven't corrected the color temperature enough I think..... Here it is again without flash and a bit closer in color to the actual flower.

PS. You are not at all picky aren't you.....?! Djeeezzz......

[Slug Killer]

Just thought you may have a clone with a different colour. If I was being picky I'd have suggested removing the cobweb before taking the picture

That would be a no-go as the spiders at this time of the year are EVERYWHERE. Each time I walk into the glasshouse I get a web in my face. But in all honesty I also feed some of them with freshly caught vine weevils that seem VERY present this year.....

Lovely colour there Dave, I assume it's probably a hybrid, but I've given up with Plieone hybrid names beyond classifiying them as a) nice plant, and b) nice plant. 

I've only ever tried P. limprichtii outside in a peat block, but they eventually dwindled away and are now lost from the garden.

My first  is this X lagenaria. Three flower on one of the shoots. Crammed, but quite pretty.



Kind regards

Lars

Terrific!!!

Does anyone know a reliable commercial source for true Pleione x lagenaria? So NOT Pleione x "Confirmation".....
