Pleione Orchid Blooms

Now those are a bunch of cuties. I just imagine the fragrance that they are producing.

The forestii are the sweetest smelling :)

I like the subtle differences in the shades of cream/pastel yellow and gold/brown patterning. The scented yellow ones (Pleione forestii?) are gorgeous!

Thank you so much :)

Looking good! Where did you get all your pleione's from? Are they all from the Victoria show? The only place I know of right now that has some variety is Fraser Thimble Farms.

[@westcoastgardenguy1990]

Thank you! I got them from lots of various places. I picked up some of them at the Vancouver and Victoria orchid shows, some from Fraser Thimble Farms, and I always have my eyes open at garden centres when I am plant shopping. They have them sometimes at Southlands nursery, and also Gardenworks in Vancouver. I also have gotten some from eBay :)

Where are you from? I bought some pleiones this year but the bulbs growed smaller than the previous one... i think it got stressed because of shipping

[@westcoastgardenguy1990]

I live on the West Coast of Canada. Did you get your Pleione’s shipped to you as dormant bulbs or as growing plants?
