Cyberspace

I'll try to take a better picture tomorrow but for now this is cyberspace. Interestingly the scape is still burgundy. Also the new leaves that are starting are also burgundy. - J

Hi Everyone,

My Cyberspace just opened and at first I didn't think I was going to like it but I do!! The flowers are small but they are vibrant and I expect they will be even better on a rooted established bulb.

Here she is..{{gwi:2123443}}

I won't pollinate on her but I think I'll be using her pollen on something!!

Pretty. Funny that the photos aren't matching up...but it does look like Cyberspace with the loooong white anthers.
Hmmm.
This is shaping up to be an interesting year (maybe not for the right reasons!).

Well, at least it's the correct variety and I think it's quite nice.. It appears that the flowers are a bit on the diminutive side which is fine and the white stripe isn't as prominent as I'd hoped for but I think that when Cyberspace blooms on a well rooted bulb that it will be quite lovely if it isn't already.

It's really great that the scapes are staying red, one of my buds is opening so mine should be blooming in about one week and I do love the long white anthers for startling contrast too. All is all, I think it's a winner that will get even better the next time around!

So, it looks like we've nailed this one, let's see what the rest bring!!

I love all the cybisters! I look forward to seeing more photos when the flowers are fully opened.

Beautiful Donna!

I agree I like this and I wasn't sure I would either. I like the smaller size (both bulb, scape and flowers are small) as they offer something different than the large sometimes huge flowers and plants we are used to. In fact, this type of breeding may offer an alternative to those who are short of window space and would like to have a larger collection. It will be interesting to see if, after they have grown some healthy roots and have had a year of growth, they stay this small. - J

Hi Donna and J,

I didn't realize the Cyberspace was a "mini". How tall are the scapes? They look absolutely beautiful :-))))

Warm Regards,

HI Fred,

The flowers are barely 3 + 1/2" measuring the curl back but the scapes are 12" and 14" and I assume on an established bulb they would be even taller so unfortunately it doesn't really fit in the mini category. The second scape is opening its 4 flowers and they look about the same.

I'm happy with it and if I had the opportunity to buy another I would, this is one variety that should have more than one bulb in the pot.

Mine isn't doing all that well, didn't grow at all and is still small but healthy. Currently it is just sitting here with no leaves and I doubt that it will even bloom again for some time. I sure wish I'd bought more than one but.. we never know do we. No offsets on this one for sure and if there was one I'd have to say that I'd have to keep it because this variety will most likely never been seen again unfortunately but....we never know! Sorry.....
