Pleione limprichtii and Whakari, 1st blooms
More Pleione bloom photos. I decided to try out a few new pleione vendors this year and will have a bunch of first time blooms that I will need verified. These are the first to bloom for me.
The first 3 photos are labelled as limprichitii but might be formosana. Also there appears to be a purple spotted lip and a brown spotted lip varieties. The 2nd group to bloom are labelled Pleione Whakari (next 2 photos). I'm not too sure what Whakari looks like and there aren't too many bloom photos online to compare it to, but it looks an awful lot like Tongariro and also might be mislabeled. The last 2 photos are group shots.
Any pleione experts are welcomed to throw in their 2 cents. These are just the first blooms, many more to come. Thanks!
