+1 Just plant expenses… find your local orchid society. You’ll likely get a sense of serious collectors, collections and people with the kinds of addictions you’re hearing about above…

what are you using for a power supply?

okay i'll bite... which fans? assuming they are 110V what level of air movement do you think is sufficient for shelves you are servicing? love to hear from all the weenies that have experience/knowledge here... i know folks that have these kinds of 'muffin' fans in their...

Tokyo orchid nursery grows its besseae in a tray this way... inclined and leaning back to keep the rhizome in the media... when i am managing in a tray, i put a wire onto the rhizome and pull it back down into the media and let the new growth get itself back to vertical (if it wants to ;-)...

i purchased one of this color form from 'Wilson' .. his photo showed a very slight pink blush to the 'isthmus' on the lip rather than in the petals... it was a very nuanced pink... haven't yet flowered it (and i do believe it was a meristem or stem prop)... either way yours seems nice...

Looks to have a stonei influence in that dorsal. But the pouch gets towards yellow enough to be pleasing to my eyes…. I’d call it serendipitous…. :-)

Welcome.. from the Philadelphia area. if you haven’t already, be sure to check out the Barbara Tisherman Slipper Orchid Collection at the Phipps Conservatory.

I’ll take a snap of the tag when i’m Back home. But very sure these are his imports from brazil. Not sure. If it’s his breeding program there, or just plants from breeders he works with.

Perfect. I’ll do the same ;-)

@Paph Paradise Since you jumped in…. ;-). How do you grow this? Since I have one of your ‘JAC’ x’s. Thought I’d ask

Thanx Leslie. They seem to have found the place in the greenhouse they like to grow. I’m going to try some additional ‘media’ on the mount to see if I can get a little fullness in the pseudobulbs. Although they get water almost daily. It’s clear they need some more.

@DrLeslieEe meant to ask if you recognized the tag or breeder. I thought I recognized the folks in the booth as AWZ , but as I started talking to them realized I was having another senior moment. This was 2019, if that means anything.

This is from that same cross. Just posting for your comparison. Thought I had another one also.. I’ll look when I get home- double checked the plant and yea the one I just added is also from that same cross

well that sucks mine are coming along, but i was hoping for excitement

that 2 flower weight threw it into that category for sure.... but i had to get onto the ladder to stake it so no stake :-)

Gotta love humbling experiences…. Yes warneri…. Sigh…. I think I have another of these in a pot in sheath Will be interesting to compare

Doh! Thanx. Updated

thought I’d get a take on this one as well. Purchased as a seedling from a South American vendor @ Redlands 2019. It’s a concolor on a striata. Very pleased with 4 flowers, 2 with nice upright dorsals…. And that from a first bloom mounted plant in a northeastern us greenhouse…. Anyhoo...
