Title: Pleione Website update
Post by: Paul Cumbleton on January 15, 2021, 05:21:49 PM

After a very long period of inactivity, I have at last started to make some changes to my Pleione Website (www.pleione.info (http://www.pleione.info)). I have finished updating the list of all Pleione hybrids. It is now up to date up to and including registrations to the end of September 2020. This is the latest date for which the RHS has made new registrations publicly available. Not having Pleiones of my own any more to photograph means no new pictures have been added in a long time. However I have now received images of some of the more recently registered hybrids that I will add over the next few days/weeks. If any of you reading this have pictures of pleiones not currently pictured on the site I would be most grateful if you would consider sending me them for inclusion.

Thanks for the updates Paul.
I could send you some pictures of Lhasa 'Blushes' and of my pale clone of Nyiarongo if you need some.
