Stan tigrina (freak peloric form!)

[Frdemetr]

This one was a discovery! Amongst many regular tigrinas (from the same seed pod), I found it! For only 20 bucks, I bought a very healthy plant (two more spikes coming)! You can clearly see the 3 sepals, 3 lips and just one column. According to the vendor, my plant is the second peloric of this seed pod (he sold one more last year) amongst hundreds; you should be lucky!
A Christmas gift for myself!

Now that is quite unusual!
I don't think that I've ever seen a peloric Stanhopea before.

That's awesome!
Stans are so unusual looking anyway...a peloric is amazing!

Thanks for sharing

Yes, Mauro! Neither me! (only in the web). For a Stan lover, this plant is a wonder!

YEs it's amazing .... but I prefer the normal flower...

I love it. As Sue said, Stans are wild looking anyway, and this one just goes a bit further. To me, icing on the cake!

Wierd!! What is it with you Brazilians and your peloric flowers?!? Must be something in the water!!

that;s fantastic frdemetr!

Dr Doug Pulley mentioned that selfings of his peloric "Stan. Quirky Queen 'Shooting Star' JC/AOS" resulted in about 20% pelorics from the resulting pod.

[Frdemetr]

20%!!! Great number! I'll be happy with 5%!

I'll make a selfing in the forthcoming spike! I had also collected the pollinia, I intend to make some weird hybrids!

Thanks for the info!
