Very nice, Snuffeldyret. :) :) :)
My P. forrestii v alba are nearly over. I showed them to Ian Butterfield and he was surprised by the very frilly lip.  :)

Hello all, :)

I'm still waiting for the results of tests for the presence of viruses in my Pleione Zeus Weinstein.
In the meantime Pleione grandiflora bloomed and really it is very similar to the orchid which I have bought as Pln albiflora (in the first picture on the left)
And now Pln Piton is blooming for the first time, but it has completely different flowers than Pln Piton I have bought earlier (photo 3th). Are these hybrids tend to be so various, or are they different Pleiones? ???

Regards,
Tamar

Hi Tamar,
your P. grandiflora are very nice.
About the P. Piton, there is quite a bit of variability in this hybrid. Both of your pictures look like Piton to me.

Hi Tamar,

I like your second P. Piton a lot - very elegant shape in my opinion.
As Maren already said Piton is quite variable as one parent, P. formosana, is really variable with a lot of different forms. I guess the cross Piton has been repeated several times with different P. formosana clones. Here is another picture with a large Piton compared to a "normal" form.

Regards
Thomas

P.S: Maren, did you get my message that Ian Butterfield's parcel with Pleiones did arrive at my home about a month later?

Here are some more, I hope that someone will tell me if I have mixed up the names.. I also need help with the name of the tiny Pleione x. It's small flowered, from Moxi, China. Rather pale in colors sadly.



Pleione grandiflora



Pleione bulbocoides from Muli



Pleione x



Another bulbocoides?



Pleione bilamellata



Pleione speciosa type 2
