Really nice, and what a crop of Tillandsia usneoides on top!

That is super cool.

Really a great cross. Hausermann's still sells 2-inch clones of both of these for 12.99 on their site.

Nothing less than breathtaking! Well well well done!!

Very pretty and nice background!

Ha! The beard is getting whiter as well. The term is stoked, not stocked.

The word here in Colorado is "Stoked!"!

Very happy to report that, after a spectacular blooming this year, this is now Cycnoches Fire Embers 'Patience' AM/AOS, CCM/AOS AM is 86 points and CCM is 82 points. Natural spread: H 10.1 cm, V 9.5 cm Dorsal sepal: H 2.2 cm, V 5.8 cm Petal: H 2.7 cm, V 5.1 cm Lateral sepal: H 2.2 cm, V...

Wonderful! I saw one of these at a show years ago and it really got my attention.

Something weird along these lines also happened with Triumphans. Last year, RHS specified that Cattleya Triumphans is (C. aurea × C. rex) A breeder must've caught wind of this fairly quickly because in July 2023, the cross of C. dowiana × C. rex was registered as Cattleya NK Amanecer de Tokio (a...

Not sure but i would guess so! Attention from bugs could very well have popped their pollen and caused them to wilt.

Right, in a few months these plants will be bald again. I have found that a solution of neem and soap works ok, but it will deform the flowers. The buds seem to break early, and the petals come out smaller and twisted. So, since the flowers are what I'm trying to save, I'm hoping the predators...

22 flowers, just amazing. Unfortunately the plant has mites, I'm trying to combat with predatory mites and wiping the leaves with alcohol solution for now. When the blooms are gone, I'll try neem, insecticidal soap, hydrogen peroxide, more predators...

I got into Pinguicula as well after many recommendations (and some friends sending me some!). They are fun to watch but there will always be gnat survivors. The bacteria, nematode, and chemical routes are the only ways to completely eradicate them. Of course, every time you get a new plant, you...

Two divisions available of this cute, Cattleya-like small orchid. Division 1 is in bloom, division 2 is smaller but has 3 buds. $15 to cover USPS priority 3-day shipping within the United States. Plant originally from Andy's Orchids. Division 1 Division 2

Pulling up a chair to watch the show! I think I remember seeing these little guys in your kitchen in 2022? :D 🍿

Of these three the percivalliana is my favorite. The way the bottom two sepals curve downward, the nice dorsal, the wide petals, and the super ruffled, dark lip...love it.

It's that time of year again... ... I'm thinking full bloom by the end of the month? Looks like 20+ this year 🤞🏻

it's very nice and too bad about the stem. I wonder if a daily, gentle nudging as it develops would force the plant to thicken the stem in response? I love how you fuss over it, this is what orchid growing is all about :)

Dustin from Here...But Not grows in Calgary, Canada, in very similar conditions to yours in Montana I would guess. He has wonderful success with Paphs and I recommend reading his growing guide if you haven't. Your phil looks like it's really happy in the new pot...
