Default A couple of Tolumnias

First two pics are Tolumnia Golden Sunset ‘Waiomao’ AM/AOS; it has one inflorescence, over a foot long, with five branches, 8-10 blooms on each branch. Third pic is Tolumnia Pretty in Pink. Both are first blooms for these particular plants. Both are mounted on cork, hanging four inches below a bank of T5 bulbs. They get sprayed daily, with added half-strength fertilizer once a week.

Thanks for looking!

Really nice flowers! Being a "pink" lover, the second one is my favorite.

Very beautiful Stephen. Golden Sunset is a real proven winner. It seems to have been used extensively in hybridizing.

I don't know what is wrong with mine this year. I have about sixteen and they are usually starting to spike in December but I am not seeing a sign of spiking on any of them. They are in the same location they were in last year and there has been no change in culture.
