Hi all,
here i want to present my next hybrid, somehow it looks like a hairy D. ascendens but in this case D. ascendens is not one of the parents.
Some time ago i crossed D. graomogolensis ´Itacambira´ with D. tomentosa var. tomentosa ´Morro do Jambeiro´ and now the plants are going to flower for the first time. The plants are nearly as big as D. graomogolensis is but they have an extremely hairy flower scape which is glandular as well.
I do grow two pots with these hybrids, the single plant tried to flower in the past but somehow the flower scape stopped to develop. This pot receives less light than the other one (full of plants) and that´s the reason why the plant is not so deeply coloured.
And here we go.
First the not so deeply coloured plant a few days before.........
emerging flower scape
And here are the more coloured plants.
I hope you like it.
Best regards,
Dani
