That’s impressive. Thanks for sharing. Glad to see you back in the forum!

Eric, You’re second in line. You and Darlene are making me doubt myself😉…but still on the hunt for a Mountain Maid that looks more like yours from OZ…

Good to know. I have most of my Phrags in a mixture (50/50 - 60/40) of Leca/Grodan cubes. They seem to be doing well- I have them in clear plastic pots so I can watch the root show🙂.

Thanks for sharing about the pouch color intensifying with age. I didn’t realize that it did so. I’ll keep an eye on it. My day temps are 73-75 deg F and nights drop to mid 60s so I would think I’d be growing it on the cool side.

It’s besseae v flavum ‘Golden Rays’ x hirtzii ‘Lucho’.

All of my orchids are indoors and day temps are 73-75 deg F and drop to mid 60s at night during the summer. (Now that I’m acquiring more warm growers I may move some of them outdoors next summer- I’m in the PNW so summers are fairly mild). The parentage is besseae v flavum ‘Golden Rays’ x...

Thanks for the information! I don’t want to be too ruthless but want to know when to cut my losses.

Yes, I’m growing my orchids under lights as well (botanical LEDs), and space is limited - so I will probably sell/give away the under whelmers/under performers fairly quickly. Is it possible that the poor coloring I’m seeing is due to my lighting or is it most likely genetics? I’ve read some...

Agreed. I was certainly hoping more for a besseae influence. As much as I enjoy the anticipation with seedlings of not knowing exactly what I’m going to get, I’m quickly understanding why some people choose to go the division route. I also had a Phrag Coral Jewel bloom this week that was...

First bloom for this Mountain Maid (besseae v. flavum ‘Golden Rays’ x hirtzii ‘Lucio’.) I’ve been anxiously awaiting its unfurling and was expecting/ hoping for better coloring. Mostly green with little coloring on the pouch. The plant is clean and vigorous but I’m on the hunt for one with...

Beautiful! I’m also interested if Paphlove doesn’t take it.

Does anyone know of a source for Paph Zycleon?

Love the colors.

First bloom. I’m in love with green and white and yellow and white flowers. And the hairs! Any tips on making thumbnails less grainy would be appreciated. The images appear correct once clicked on but are displaying quite grainy as thumbnails.

First blooming of Mont Fallu (longifolium x Grande)

Three weeks later and second bloom has been open for about a week with third to follow. Love the pink blooms. Would love to hear any recommendations on other favorite pink Phrags.

Oh yes, I keep beating a path to Windy Hill’s, Woodstream’s and PaphParadise’s doors.:) for more.

Thanks, Bob! The emersonii I purchased from Thanh based on your referral was very nice. I’ll check in with him.

Would love to know some good sources for quality Brachys if anyone is willing to share. (I’m in the US). I’ve seen listings at the nurseries I typically purchase from, but they have been out of stock for some time. Just saw a couple of new listings at Krull-Smith last night. Are they not as...
