I don't know. I was told there is no market for this species in Germany. I have seen flowers of what Franz Glanz is selling as caricinum and they are hybrids.

Damn. That's not even close. Good luck trying to figure out what that is. It looks like it could be any one of a half dozen registered hybrids.

Exactly.

Everyone has an opinion and that's great. This is what this forum is for. My perspective is not based solely on being a retail customer of theirs. Their lab, and my thoughts come from several sources who have been there and who have labs themselves, in addition to my own, is a fraction of what...

Ecuagenera Phrags all come from their Nursery in Gualaceo. They transport them, typically, to Guayaquil, a very hot and humid city on Ecuadors coast, in boxes, by the hundreds. They then ship them to Florida (speaking about U.S. sales only) where they wait, sometimes without ever being taken...

Reticulatum and czerwiakianum are synonyms of boisserianum. Most authors agree. In fact I think all the recent publications agree on this, except commercial vendors who won’t give up the names to keep their sales up. Don’t be deceived by vendors looking to up their sales. Also, Ecuagenera...

Many hobbyists have asked the same question about Ecuagenera and Orchids Limited as well. Ecuagenera plants come in plastic bags and most I have seen have had rot on them. What survives after being in a box in a plastic bag for a week or more is typically mislabeled and won’t grow or bloom...

The amount of bad information and hand me down nonsense in the Phrag. community never ceases to amaze me.

Why would you need to come back in the future? That makes absolutely no sense what so ever. Awesome plant.

Indeed it does.

I bought canhii from them in the United States.

Great observation and thank you for posting this! Unfortunately there are some who would argue with you until hell freezes over that every variation in a flower makes a totally new and distinct species, that natural variation doesn’t exist. Best,

What is kolopakingii variety giganteum? Is that a formally described variety of kolopakingii? Or an invented name to sell more plants?

Thank you Eric! I am in Orange County in the Hudson Valley. Any way to get you the plant that doesn't involve badges, tunnels and 5 hours?

In the United States we have a popular expression, the "Monday Morning Quarterback". For those of you outside the United States who don't follow American football, this expression describes a person who, on the Monday morning after Sundays football games, proffers his opinions as to what his...

Many years ago, in the 1990's, I was at Paph Guild in California. It was still run by Norris Powell at that time. Norris invited a geneticist from the University of California to come speak about albino Paphs. Which one of the UC's it was is long gone from my memory as is the name of the...

Many species of Paphs have blurred lines between species names. I don't like using the term "complex", to me it is a lazy way out of doing your homework and lumping many dubious names under one umbrella. However, all the forms/names of villosum, gratrixianum, barbigerum, lowii, can, and...

Now this is specific and very, very helpful. This is also not surprising. Nurseries in that part of the world are known to be deceptive and selling Pinocchio as the species would not be surprising. Many plants in cultivation labelled as primulinum are Pinocchio and they don't all originate...

Anyone know if I can get a plant judges Saturday? I won't be there Friday and I don't have a display, obviously. But I do have a plant in flower now that needs a look.

I will be there Saturday with my daughter
