Whole original mother plant. Arrived today with tag and all is well.

I have also been doing a lot of digging on the older Phals because that is the direction I am headed as I plan out expanding the orchid collection a bit to get into breeding and make a retirement career out of orchids. I had initially planned it with Paphs, but the market trends of the past...

Thank you Bob. Award was paid for and all. I did find out today that the laminated tag had been provided as well, but was just not affixed to the plant. In the Judging world, quality awards go to the plant and cultural awards (aside from ADs) go to the grower. And so if I can have the laminated...

I would also add in the time factor- and that in many cases is the most important factor of all. You see it less now that orchids have become so mainstream and really decimated the market for breeding on a smaller scale- thus greatly reducing the number of participants and opportunity to buy...

I was about to purchase an original plant that was recently awarded by the AOS and the seller wants to give me scans of the original certificate rather than the original itself. Also I would not be getting the award tag for the plant. Seller is an established breeder of exceptional reputation...

Excellent- thank you. The mix seems good as it is, but I will do the testing you advise to be sure.

Greetings all, Hope everyone is well. With double duty on a couple of projects, I had to scale back a bit on the orchids this past year and have not been online much at all, but still going at it and now with more free time I have a small number of new flasks coming this week. What I am...

Very fine outcome. This could prove an important plant.

Spectacular!

LOL. It would be really fun if someone just went all the way and did something like a Phrag. kovachii var. album fma. giganteum- 18 inch blossoms of purest white.

Me either- but I have heard of Photoshop. No way to know 100% for sure- but I use the full Adobe suite for fabric design and the unusual texture and slight blurriness of just the bloom itself screams Photoshop to me. The price is also too good to be true. A true album form of tigrinum, which...

Spectacular- you have a real beauty there. First bloom plant I take it? If so, could get even better as the plant gets larger. Well done!

Wild! Very nice. How tall is the bloom?

Love those petals. A beautiful outcome.

I have had periods of both being overweight and in incredible shape in my adult life- and it basically comes down to what you said above. All the various "diets" out there- low carb, high carb, branded diets where you eat prepackaged food (yuk), cleanses etc- are pretty much variations on the...

A very handsome flower. Looks like it could possibly be close to a primary hybrid. Hard to say, but certainly favors certain species. Nice as this is, worth testing in case you can determine parentage IMHO. Either way, a keeper!

Beautiful! There is a certain drama to it, but the flowers are such an uplifting shade of yellow that it seems more cheerful than anything else. Wonderful.

When Fred Clark posted his Cattleya seedling list a few months back, I dove in on a few of the mini crosses. They are like a miniature jungle on one of the orchid shelves, and when I started sorting them out for repotting this weekend, I found out this little guy had decided to bloom on the...

A stunner. Well done!

That looks magnificent Berthold. I usually use my home made beef stock for stews and the like, so I use a lot of sawed femur bones to add marrow which makes it cloudy, and I only rarely separate it from there to get a clear broth even though the result is wonderful. Love the look of yours...
