It is rather small which is nice- I guess because of the schlimii parent. I’m actually not a fan of solid white flowers, e.g. Paph delenatii alba, but I really like the very pale phrags that border on white and have a hint of pink or green. They seem to almost glow and the intricacies of their...

I reached out to Marilyn at Windy Hill with a request for anything close to white and received this plant earlier this year. First bloom. (Czerwiakowianum ‘Windy Hill’ x schlimii ‘Elizabeth’)

Mine arrived today from Paph Paradise! Just unpacked it. This is the description of the plants for more context: Paphiopedilum rothschildianum-blooming size seedlings from Orchid Zone breeding lines. A friend of mine bought some select plants from OZ cross Z7071 (‘Red Baron’ x ‘Mighty’) and...

Interesting. This is the only NH and the most mature plant I have, so I wasn’t sure if this was unusual or not. Looking forward to the extended blooming.

No fragrance that I have noticed, unfortunately.

Windy Hill is the vendor. I added a better photo of the whole plant. I have had more tipping on this phrag than on most- however the new growth appears clean.

Phrag Eileen Rickman ‘Windy Hill’ AM/AOS (schlimii ‘Elizabeth’ x ‘Silver Eagle ‘Pink Frost’) One of my favorites of the light pinks I’ve bloomed so far. Sweet blooms on compact plant.

Purchased this from Happypaphy7 last year. It started blooming late July, see photos, and as they are winding down I just noticed a couple of new buds on the way. Is this staggering of blooming typical as plants get large enough to have multiple new growths? Not sure why it surprised me but I...

Just a comment for anyone looking for a substitute for Azamax. I grow everything indoors but take everything outdoors, spray it, then return it once dryish. I found the Azamax, while not unpleasant to smell while spraying (through the mask), to be rather obnoxious for a few days inside- my...

Thanks for suggesting that I remove the second bud. I frankly hadn’t thought to remove it given the size of the plant. Do you typically remove buds from all first bloom seedlings?

First bloom for this Harold Koopowitz (rothschildianum ‘Bloomington’ x malipoense ‘Sam’s Choice’FCC/AOS. Bloom is still unfurling. It looks more like malipoense than some of the other HKs I’ve seen posted here. I have another from Paph Paradise which is a little further behind in blooming...

Very nice. Just purchased one from Paph Paradise - I hope the flower coloring is as nice as yours.

PaphParadise recently posted a randii hybrid: Paphiopedilum Mem. Michael Lawless, a primary hybrid of (philippinense x randsii). I’ve been tempted to purchase one. As soon as I read that something is challenging and not for beginners I feel like I need to try growing it🤣.

Thanks for the link to the St Aug info. I’ve only scratched the surface of a few of the articles but some great information here that I’ll spend more time reading later this weekend. Thanks for sharing. I would be interested in some of the Overture if you still have any that is not spoken for.

Thanks, Rich. I spent some time calling around yesterday and was able to find the Azapro and Azaguard locally, so am going to try the Azapro but the Azasol powder looks appealing for the reasons you noted- will check it out. I did speak to several hydroponic vendors and asked if they knew what...

Thanks for the detailed instructions, Pete. Most helpful. I’ll add Bonide to my toolkit. I grabbed a Safari equivalent as well.

Thanks, Pete. I’ll check Growsafe out.

Thank you so much for the offer- that is most kind but you may need to stockpile it🙂. I was looking to purchase another 16 oz container since I need about half that for another treatment. I’m going to call a couple of the vendors today to see if they can tell me what is going on with supplies...

Thanks, Ray. Yes, I had actually used the OrganiShield once before going to the AzaMax and plants were looking better but I decided to hit everything with three rounds of the AzaMax since I’d found thrips on a recent purchase and wanted to get them knocked out. My intent going forward was to...

Based on recommendations from members of the group, I recently purchased a container of Azamax and completed a second round of spraying for thrips. I’m now on the hunt for more to finish the third treatment. There appears to be a shortage of it because I had some difficulties locating it a...
