Hekla clones are flowering, both have quite nodding flowers.

'Locking Stumps' is a bit darker than 'Partridge'.

The second Pleione flowering with me is P. Callisto, a gift plant from Ian Butterfield.
Actually P. Eiger 'Snowflake' should have been the second one but unfortunately it did not open its two flowers.

I am a real novice at growing Pleiones. I started with Pleione Formosana last year.
Looking at the results however I am really happy and will certainly try growing other Pleiones from now on.  ;D

I used to grow a few Pleiones many years ago but they all eventually died.  In 2006 or 07 I bought Pleione 'Rakata' and 'Blush of Dawn' from the Srgc stall at the Perth Show.  I then bought P. formosana & P.formosana 'Alba' at a garden centre.  'Blush of Dawn' and 'Alba' are long gone but the other two are bursting out of 7cm pots.(must repot them very soon).
Last year at the Nottingham Conference I bought Pleione forrestii from John Amand's stall.  It was a dry pseudobulb with roots starting to form and the remains of an aborted flower.  It grew away quite well. It spent the winter dry under the bench and has not been repotted.  We  did not have too many relly cold nights and I managed to get my gas heater lit a lot earlier than last winter.  To my surprise it produced a flower bud which took ages to open, but here it is.

I have in last year some Pleiones received from a really nice person from this forum  ;)

She was not so 100% shure with the names ...but maybe some specialist can confirm me the ID

Today is open :

Pleione formosa

is it correct ?

Thank you
Hans
