When I reduce the photoperiod for my pings in the autumn I always get a flurry of flowers. Perhaps the plants are trying to sow seed before the long, dry winter? I have P. laueana, 'Weser', 'Aphrodite', agnata, moranensis 'A', moranensis 'Caudata', 'Pirouette, Sumidero 1 and 'Sethos' in flower now. A large moranensis I call 'Caudata' I have 2 or 3 varieties of moranensis with very similar flowers but different leaf shapes, colours and sizes. P. agnata. A white flower with purple edges. Can anyone tell me a possible location for this type? P. 'Weser' dividing and flowering.

Great job Hal, very nice pics.
If you have the time, can you tell me at which rate you lower your photoperiod ?

In the summer the lights are on from 7am to 9pm. In the fall I reduce it to 7am to 6pm.

Labour Day I take it back 1.5 hours, then another 1.5 hours in early November. Early March it goes up 1.5 hours then the rest in early May.
