That is sooo stunning! I have one at home. What conditions are you growing in?

I have a whole week of July 4th off. So I can do a day roadtrip!

No worries. I am even down to drive up to Michigan :)

I am interested in the list! You know me. I love my paphs. Do you still have the wierztianum available?

I am actually checking if I accidentally self pollinated the plant. if I did. I am cutting it

Mine was open around 5/1/2024. I harvested the pollen last week 6/14/2024. So the flower has been in bloom around a 1.5 month. Is that a normal blooming duration? This is the firs time I bloomed roths and roth hybrids. So I am not sure how long flowers last. If it is me or just the plant I...

Interesting. Do you see the flower drop more often in maudiae or multifloral after harvesting the pollen? Just a curiousity. Because my roths and roth hybrids all had the flower drop around 1 to 2 weeks after harvesting pollen. I am just not sure if that is just happening to me or if others...

Hi Experts! I have several paph flowering right now and harvested some pollen and noticed a few things that I would like all you experts weigh in. I harvested some paph pollen last week, no pollination at all, and the flower decided to drop this week. Is it normal for the flower to drop...

Any more randy booth left? or singles?

I get a blow torch to sterilize my plant cutting utensils. Just light it up. For disinfection - I use just alcohol or soak it in physan 20

It's not like every plant have a CITES certificate associated with it, like each plant with the QR code for the CITES cert. More importantly, if someone wants to sell an illegal plant, they can print and fake a CITES certificate so the plants look like they are artificially propagated. Do...

Do you have pictures? I recently lost my Saint's within to erwinia, so I am shopping for a replacement

I am certainly not encouraging it. But do it at the individual's own risk.

There are tons of rungsuriyanum being sold on ebay, Facebook groups and even orchid websites. It's hard to identify their origin, flask or picked from Thailand and Laos. To be realistic and pragmatic . Honestly not much is being done. It's hard regulate such a small plant when there are...

they are from thailand. I have ordered from thailand, other nurseries, before and it is just like rolling a dice. Even with the fastest shipping it takes 21 days to a month. If the plant was packed well, the plant has a decent chance of surviving. Got a large division that survived 27 days...

I honestly hate erwinia. It killed off 60% of my seedlings. Then it killed one of my roth. The issue is that they spread and spread fast and they smell. Every day I check all my plants crows, leaves and base to make sure therr are no erwinia

Thank you for the explanation. I actually saw an abomination of a flower that Rob posted of a lantha stage. I am guessing that is the crazy flowers that ppl are talking about

Here is a picture of another multifloral. Orchid inn's Paph. Lady Rothschildianum (Lady Isabel "Jumbo Lady" x roth. 'New Horizon') 3 flowers. Pretty standard. I haven't done any measurements but so far the spread is 8 inches. I don't like the color of the pouch as it doesn't seem red enough...

yea.. the multi-cross is all sorts of weird right now. But flowers are always good right?! oh yea! the toni semple is beautiful! it only has 3 flowers for its first bloom, which is fine. Hopefully next year there will be more. granted, I did just repot it to a bigger pot, so it will be...

When you say Sanderianum create monstrosities - what do you mean by that? Good or bad? I am just curious. I have a paph delrosi and dollgoldii, and they usually bloom every year and a half once the growth matures. Maybe it is the breeding that made it easier to bloom? What makes...
