Thanks everyone. Hmm, if you like it that much maybe I should keep it lol. But no worries- it will be in the auction. This is not in the direction I am looking for future breeding, and so it must go. David- I am not sure if the philippinense parent was also an alba form. I just know it was...

Posting this one because it is so unusual. First bloom on a very small plant. The bud was damaged- hence the dark spots in the dorsal and slight tears in one petal. A very large flower relative to the plant, and a second bud developing. Curious to know if anyone else has flowered this cross...

Thanks everyone. I will look forward to seeing how it does when more mature. GuRu- correct, this is a single growth plant and a small one. Would it be a good idea to go ahead and cut the flower now? I do not mind if it is not too late to remove stress and improve chances of the plant doing...

A stunner!

Tiny plant, tiny flower. It is growing on me the more I look at it.

Thank you Bob. I am not a buyer- but was curious to see the going rate. I have no idea who this is either, but given the large selection of high quality first bloom plants and what seem to be very low Fed-Ex rates to me (I do a lot of shipping in my fledgling garment business- and expedited...

I looked up jfan and found non-orchids. What is actual eBay handle please?

First listing went for $15.50. Second listing $20.00. Uncertain if second listing was for a second plant or a relisting of first.

It seems a common trait- but as your words imply (to me anyway), at least it is well earned cockiness. I wish I remembered the link, but back when I was in that business we used to keep watch on one of the anonymous pilot message forums- mainly to keep an eye out for any discontent that might...

Congratulations Ed. What a dorsal on that bloom! Agree with what others have said about award upgrades- it is difficult to get one and that is why many wait for a subsequent flowering. But happily you got an AM- so well done!

I am so very sorry to hear Berthold. Tragic news and I hope all the best for his recovery. A few years ago, I spent 18 months at an aviation company helping them get ready to go public. While I was there, we lost one of our most experienced pilots- 30 years of experience. The amount of...

Wonderful!

A real gem from Sunset Valley Orchids, our forum's newest member vendor, to show an example of the great things Fred is doing. First flower on a first bloom seedling. 5.9cm natural spread and bloom has been fully open for 2 days. Rupiculous growth habit. A tough one for me to photograph. In real...

Welcome to the forum!

Beautiful. I love the Cattleya species. Very nice plants you have there.

That is one happy plant! Well done!

Thanks all- happy to post. I enjoy this section of the board more and more because I can see what is coming to the shows. Linus- thank you for advising of splash versus harlequin. I guess it is obvious it has been a few years since I went to a show. The last time I did a show, all of the...

No, but if you look at the item specifics section, you will see this is the famous "Black Orchid". I wonder how these plants have grown in that 80s club blacklighting in the background.

Just some photos I took at the show. The exhibits aisles were very tight and there was a good sized crowd, so apologies if some of the angles are not ideal. Mostly Paphs- but I had to throw in a few others I really liked. None of these are my plants- all were in exhibits at the show. Names...

Had a great day at the Dallas orchid show- editing and uploading photos now to post in the Orchid Events section- and I wanted to share this one that came home with me today. It is not ever going to win any awards, but I love this flower and it could make a wonderful show plant when it gets...
