Here’s another one with those hidden sleeper lidless genetics. (Hopefully.) A few years ago I did a pairing of S. ‘Chaos’ and S. flava – lidless giant. This was a mash-up of two plants with unique definitive characteristics: S. ‘Chaos’ with its ominous angular peristome combined with the strange but sophisticatedly simplified S. FLG. (FLG for Flava Lidless Giant). Parent photos are below for context. The above gallery features one of the young plants from this cross. Updates to follow on the siblings.

The plants from this cross are not of blooming maturity just yet. But so far, I like what I’m seeing. I really enjoy how the peristome from S. ‘Chaos’ carried over. The (normal -lidded) flava shape influence is also apparent. If my inclinations are correct: crossing this with another lidless or lidless-recessive (for example: selfing or sib-crossing) should result in some un-hooded goodness. And of course, I’m looking to throw that peristome of chaotic angular-ocity into the mix. Stay tuned to see where this goes! 🙂
