Help! I'm infected ...

[Boris]

A huge thanks for the warm welcome.

I'm very happy that you like my setting and the plants. I guess my wife would get afraid if I get more infected
@ caseyhoo: The sarras germinated from seeds I've sown in january. I had a very good germination rate. It's very rewarding to see the babies grow.

many thanks! The spathulata does really well atm. It produced a new basal and two new pitchers. .... and it starts flowering for the first time ... I saw it today. Is it male or female? Looks female for me. Here are some more fotos of it:

Hi Boris

You have gorgeous plants but your miranda looks a lot diffrent than mine (the leaves)Mine has dark green leaves and the new leaves are brown then they turn dark green and mine dont have so much space between each leaf.Im not so sure about the flower because the flower hasn't bloom yet but im guessing its a male.Nice growing

Hi Ken,

Many thanks for looking.
I'm not sure that it is a miranda. I got it from my brother and he got it from an orchid shop. I guess that they aren't looking very closely for neps there. Maybe it's also an x mixta or some other maxima hybrid. Nevertheless the colour of the leaves and the internodes aren't sufficient for identification.

What makes you guess that it is a male flower? Did you spotted any signs at it. Or is it just a plain guess because most are male?

Hi Boris,
Haha congratulations, it's a girl! Male flower bud is more rounded.

The neps for the cross will be truncata, talangensis and a third one. I've got no idea if I'll have any success and how many seeds will come out. Also I've to share the half of the seeds with the daddies. So .... lets wait and see
