Pleione 2012

Hi Paul,

thank you for clearing this up. I have quite a few of the pale Ueli Wackernagel, I shall add 'Pearl' to the label. Makes it easier to keep the two apart in storage. I've had them for years but they don't make great leaps in propagation.

M a r v e l o u s Pleione !!

I've got some more - Paul might recognise some... 

1-2 Pleione caparro - with  somewhat reflexed frills - I guess you could call it petunoïd.. 

3-4 Pleione formosana 'Polar Sun'

5-6 Pleione krakatoa

7-8 Pleione shantung 'Muriel Harberd' with a double flower

9-10 Two clones of Pl. sifaka

Hi Maren

I believe there were possibly eight different clones of this hybrid that were selected by Jan Berg and more than one pale form, you may therefore want to check before calling yours Pearl if you don't know the history because as you know cultivar names are regulated by rules and not guesswork. If it has come from Wubben then it is highly unlikely to be 'Pearl' as after a recross I believe Jan made his selections and then gave the rest to Wubben to sell on. I don't know if this cultivar is a specific clone or a group of similar looking (Paul?) My Pearl form usually has at least two new flowering size bulbs and this year three looking at the shoots. You may therefore have a different clone as Pearl is not difficult to propagate. Wubben only called them 'dark' and 'pale' form as they were all mixed clones.

Hello ,
Today the flowering of Pleione Myojin , and  P. Limprichtii

[Pete Clarke]

Some more from me;
Edgecombe - another nicerichly coloured clone.
Pl. grandiflora. A seedling flowering for the first time from a cross between a white with yellow lip x a yellow grandiflora. Sadly the yellow showed no dominance.
Ueli wackernagel.
Piton.
Rakata. No clonal name but as good and very similar to R. "Keith Rattray".
Alishan "Merlin".

Here is pic from me ...I fear the ID could be again wrong
I have received it from a friend as Pleione scopulorum ...but....

Any ideas what this could be ?

Thank you
Hans

Hey, look at this "Oldie", which is the first "manmade" Pleione Hybrid.

this hybrid was made in 1966? by french botanist George Morel,
who also was a pioneer in "plant tissue culture"

the Pleione Versailes cv. Bucklebury is -as I think-
the best selection from that formosana X limprichtii hybrid,
and received highest FCC award from the RHS and AOS

I am happy that I could buy a "handfull" bulbils  from "that platform",
and 3 of them are just in flower 



enjoy
