They have orchids planted throughout the entire sphere. The sphere is 4 floors with the 1st floor being plants native to South America and the 2nd floor being plants native to Asia. That’s where you’ll see the bulk of orchids spread throughout the exhibit (there’s a lovely Dracula display that...

I regret not taking any close up photos of the alba so I’m not totally sure. They didn’t have any placards identifying any of the plant species only a generic placard for genus.

I was lucky enough to get a reservation to visit the Amazon Spheres in Seattle today and just so happened to catch most of the Paphs/Phrags in bloom!

Thank you all for the suggestions. I have reached out to many of the places suggested and was able to find practically everything except Phal. philippinensis so thank you all again for expanding my orchid shopping possibilities

Hi Everyone, I have been on a quest for a while now for the following Phals and am hoping someone has any they'd like to sell or has any leads as to where I might find any of these. I appreciate any help with this search! - Phalaenopsis philippinensis - Phalaenopsis amabilis - Phalaenopsis...

Hi everyone, I recently just found out I will be in Florida during the upcoming Fall Orchid Festival at Krull-Smith. I’m going to be visiting from Washington State and was wondering if I could bring anything back with me? If so, are there any particular regulations I need to watch for? Also how...

The first flower came out much lighter in color and with twisted petals.

Hi everyone - this is an unknown Phrag that I have had for approximately a year now. It’s potted in a mix of bark, small leca, and some tree fern fiber. I repotted sometime in August and the root growth was great. I noticed this odd yellowing sometime in November and thought it may have been...

Do you know if its already being offered for sale in the U.S. or was it just recently brought over and is now being bred by various nurseries?

Thanks! This one has not been listed on their website. I was fortunate in that Emerald City Orchids regularly visits Ecuagenera in Ecuador and brings back a good number of plants. They are usually happy to take requests and apparently convinced Ecuagenera to part with this beauty; I believe it’s...

The plant is about 33cm (13”) tall from base to the top of the flower. The leaf span is 35.5cm (14”) wide.

This is a first bloom on a new Phrag hybrid from Ecuagenera. I believe it’s supposed to be Phrag. Yelva Myre x kovachiI. The color is nice - I hope the next bloom has better form.

Thank you for the advice. I appreciate you presenting the wardian case as an option as it was not something I looked greatly into. I do wish I had the space for a deli fridge as I did see a used one for sale for pretty cheap! Also congratulations on your AOS membership anniversary!
