Gongora fulva
 

So pumped. I won a provisional HCC this weekend for my gongora fulva. It is provisional pending verification of ID as there were no gongora experts for judges at the show. The colonal name I have picked is 'David's dragons' after the person I got the plant from who is no longer with us. I am trying to upload picture of it in display with certificate - im having difficulty...may have to add to post later. Is not a good picture as just taken with my iphone and lots of flowers and distractions in the background...this is a close up of the flying dragon. 33 flowers, I lost about 5 or 6 prior to opening as I didn't realize fan was on so high....so close.....:shock:jeez....thanks for looking.

Sideways...grrr...don't know how to fix...sorry.

Wow! Congrats and hope you get the award.

Congratulations on the award!! The color on this one is really nice!

:clap: :clap: Congrats. Way to grow . Lets hope you cop that award

That is lovely! Congrats on the award.

Thanks everyone. Have my fingers crossed. I have a superfulva (gongora) in spike now as well - orchid wiz shows nothing about that...anybody familiar? Thanks.

I was drooling over a tricolor recently, and it looked a lot like your fulva...........

Apparently that is another name for the fulva. You didn't buy it??

Awesome!

It wasn't for sale! But I did manage to wheedle a promise of a division when the owner repots it. Keeping my fingers crossed for sure!

Holy crow that looks so cool. It looks like some far out predator bird/dragon in flight going towards its prey. Really really hope you win the award you surely deserve it.

Thanks again everyone. Flowers are fallin off daily....very short blooming time. Still love it.

Will post the super fulva pictures when it blooms....just discovered while watering yesterday that it has 2 spikes.

Missed judging by a few days, story of my life!!! Has more flowers this time (35) than when I won the provisional award (31 flowers). It has a new spike on the other side of plant and I'm hoping it has better timing this time as there are 38 buds. Thanks for looking. Colonal name I gave it is 'David's Dragons' after the deceased grower/previous owner of this plant.

Gorgeous and well done!

This crazy plant has another string of 40 buds...looks like it's going to open in the nest short while....judging is a week away...I think it's just trying to drive me insane!!!
