[papheteer]

Best performance from this favorite of mine. Sorry I didn't have a chance to cut the old spikes before taking photos. Enjoy!

Holy crap!!! Good job!!!! Very nice!!!!

 

[troy]

I could stare at that and smile all day!!! Lol...

Wow, that's very nice. Considering that thaianum was originally thought to just be a tiny variety of niveum, it's interesting how much this hybrid does NOT look like Psyche. Related, yes; but, if you'd posted this without a name, I'd not have guessed Psyche. Results like this do help to support that thaianum is a valid and separate species from niveum.

very pretty and SO well grown!

 

[SlipperKing]

Pretty cool

 

[Markhamite]

Love the combination. Beautiful and beautifully grown.

Nice! Very floriferous. Hopefully this gets crossed with "In-Charm White" soon. (Has thainum been crossed with "In-Charm Grace" yet?)

 

[NYEric]

Very nice, is that from Clouds, Paramount..???

Good to see this plant again. Well done!

John M, you are right! I'm very curious to see the outcome of other hybrids with thaianum. I hope to see some soon!

BTW, how long are the leaves?

 

[Spaph]

Great growing, what a nice little hybrid, I have a plant, can't wait till it blooms!

Congrats on some lovely blooms.

 

[SlipperFan]

Wow -- I like that a lot! Much more than Psyche. This is really sweet.

 

[abax]

What a beautiful, generous plant! I've absolutely got to
have one like this. Must I move to Canada????

 

[JeanLux]

Yes, beautiful plant and flowers!!!! Jean

Gorgeous compact plant! Personally when growing outdoors, I find brachys tend to get rot issues when they clump and the leaves overlap. I think that should not be a problem when you are growing indoors..

Eric it's from Cloud's.

How big is it? Hope it does well for you! Good to see you're growing some hybrids!

Thank you very much. Leaves are about 4-5 inches long. Some are shorter.

I just saw 2 more growths in low bud. I doubt they're gonna open before these expire. Would have been nice to see 5 flowers open at once.

Thanks for the info. I have to see if they have more.
