"Good luck with the transition and narrowing of focus. While it sounds unexpected, it seems very fulfilling." Thank you- appreciate your kind words. Honestly my orchid growing and love of orchids has not changed, but my interest in selling them as a side income and being actively involved in an...

Apologies everyone- today has been nuts at work. The Paph roth and Phals sold in the wee hours of the morning and have been shipped. I will reach out to everyone who has PMed at some point this afternoon. Thank you for the interest- very much appreciated!

Great outcome so far! You rooted them wonderfully.

Good evening everyone, For a variety of reasons, I need to narrow my focus a bit. The local show scene has changed a lot since COVID plus with the unfortunate recent passing of Meir Moses, I need to dedicate a good bit of my growing space to stem props I am making of a lot of his breeding...

Apologies for the delayed reply- work has been crazy. What I have in mind is to cross it with the Petula's Wood I recently got awarded (it is posted in the Judging forum.) The flower on my plant is very large and the petals are quite broad and. The dorsal is pretty but it is a bit more twisted...

I really love the color on this.

What a beautiful flower! And despite the unusual growth - at least the plant has plenty of vigor. The leaves all look great- top to bottom. I have seen this before, if not to this degree, but I also note as you pointed out that new roots are coming out all up and down the stalk at the base of...

Incredible plants- thank you very much for the kovachii. These are in first rate condition.

Yes- saw him last weekend. I was hoping to get Eric's when he retired, but while I got a lot of nice plants from him at the end, the Deventeriana was alas gone.

Retirements and other less fortunate circumstances plus access to stem props from across the ocean in the past couple of years have left a friend and I with several pools of breeding stock to hopefully make some great strides with Phalaenopsis breeding. But a true Deventeriana 'Treva' AM/AOS...

Stunning. Congratulations!

This past Saturday, after 40 years of growing orchids- most of it focused on breeding and marketing compots and seedlings, I finally received my first AOS quality award for the Paph I posted in the photo section a couple of weeks ago. It got bigger and better since that last photo, so I brought...

A random plant I purchased unflowered at a recent show, and now as it slowly comes into full sail on one small growth I am very happy with the outcome. While I admire them, it has been a very long time since I bloomed out any Maudiae-type crosses, and so maybe it is a lack of recent experience-...

Thank you everyone- this is very helpful. I have not had to content with mealies much in the past, so was not familiar with whether the treatments out there could be applied to the roots. Happily I do not need to take delivery for a few weeks, so the goal now will be do 2-3 full treatments on...

Good evening all - there are reams of good advice out there on dealing with mealybugs, but I seldom find mention of using such treatments on plant roots. I have accepted an opportunity to obtain a small number of extremely high quality original plants. The catch is that the grower had a...

Flask came from a reliable resource. I think the core issue was the poor rooting made for a very difficult transition to keeping the seedlings properly hydrated without them rotting. The species is sufficiently interesting to me that I will have another go next year if someone releases a new sib...

No good news I fear. It has been a while since I dealt with a first generation new species from flask and I was not as prepared as I should have been. I lost them- in much the same way I lost my first generation tigrinum flasks many years ago. Now tigrinum is easy, so I think I will just wait...

PM sent- would like all 4 if still available. Thank you.
