The rics are budding, here the show stripe "day by day".

New one on me, who supplied it

Hi Brian, its bred by Derek Parsons and I bought it last year at Pops. When its in flower I'll post a photo from it here.

Aurikelina
Derek Who I know and like invited myself and several others to see his Stripes this was before he even started showing them 20+ years ago they were breathtakingly different to any stripes seen before and of course over the years they became better and better,
Up until then in the shows they were not taken seriously And shown in the same section as Fancies, all that had to change and a separate section was provided initially for one mans plants, personally I prefer them to any other Auricula but there are purists still out there who do not like mixed up colours and the shape of them, there loss.
