If I were to give in to temptation and get a flask of multi paphs from the InCharm list mentioned in another thread, which crosses tend to be the quickest to flower from flask?

I don't mean things that are specifically on the list, more vaguely which hybrids/species tend to produce quicker maturing offspring? I can't guarantee that I will be in one place long enough to flower PEOY or Screaming Eagle, but I might be able to manage something alot quicker.

Any thoughts?

definitely not stonei... :)

just guessing but maybe praestans/wilhelm/gard? supardii possibly too...

Kolopakingii??

Am I right in thinking that lowii hybrids tend to flower a bit sooner than some others? I adore Berenice, and St Low is no slouch either.

I just had to look up kolo x lowii, it is Alex's Spots, and is alot like Julius (x roth). Both are fantastic.

I have quite a few lowii hybrids although I haven't grown any from small seedlings. So I couldn't say from experience. But I can say lowii hybrids are very easy to grow and flower. I picked up a large seedling of kolo x lowii from P&R when they closed down. It is the only time I have seen it available. Maybe a year or two off flowering. Julius is one of the great hybrids. Out of those two I would say kolo x lowii would be quicker to flower.

I agree with Justin in that praestans/wilhelm/gard would be the quickest to flower out of the multis.
