@mrhappyrotter I am curious about the fragrance. I just walked about to give mine a sniff. It is lightly fragrant... like a sweet honey. It is soft, not strong or syrupy sweet. It would be interested to know if the fragrance varies from clone to clone. @Anne Pfaff I love your clone. This is...

I love it!

@kman If I were in coastal California I would never give them up. These beauties deserve that kind of environment and freedom. However Cleveland, Ohio does not afford them that lifestyle.

@mrhappyrotter it is lovely and will put on a great display one day. I just don't bloom these that well enough to justify the space they take inside. I have grown anceps, gouldiana, and aurea under lights. I have made accommodations for their long spikes. However I love how they look with wild...

Check with Rob (@littlefrog). I Just got a seedling from him. It was Orchid Inn's breeding.

This is from Sunset Valley Orchids (SVO). The breeding is L. anceps (L. anceps f. alba 'Malvern' x L. anceps 'Disciplinata' HCC/AOS). It was a seedling in a 3" pot when I purchased it in 2020.. You can see the growth so far. This is an excellent example of how I grow Cattleya really well. The...

Welcome!

I just adore this flower.

@Murray F & @Ozpaph The parentage is Paphiopedilum niveum x Paphiopedilum Jennifer Reinoso. Nivuem makes up ~53%, godefroyae is ~28%, and bellatulum is ~18% of the background. @Tom-DE I wish I had more. This is my one and only in the collection. I wish I bought two. The flower is about...

@Bob in Albany N.Y. - Thank you for the reply. I am going to watch them and see where the new root emerge. That will be my guide. Which pink cross did you go with? I have compots of (Hellas x Snow Galaxy) and [(Snow Tiger x Ice Age) x Stone Lovely] from 2023.

I received this flask of Paph Grandtrix from Tokyo Orchid Nursery (TON) last week. The flask was quite large especially for TON. The challenge is that the seedling have been in the flask too long and are leggy and large. What are your best tips for leggy flasks? With phrags I remove some of the...

Phalaenopsis bellina alba

This is an adorable complex, compact brachy from Paph Paradise. Second time blooming...

I would love to find a compot of Magic Lantern. This is such a lovely primary. After my first ML croaked, I acquired two from Orchid Inn. This is the first one to bloom, after years of growing. I love the color, but miss the shape of my old clone.
