ha you referenced that visit.... i was in town for that meeting and met you there.... i remember you telling me you were mainly growing roths... i thought to myself interesting focus... if only i had taken that hint ;-) maybe i'd have a piece of Mt Millais in my collection ha!

this is one and the other was similar... maybe blaming it only on dorsal was a bit overstated.. just wasn't a bench space investment i wanted to continue (Paph Phillip's Song from Lehua)

You are an ENABLER!!!!! Hahahahaha Personal shopper support!

Only thing I’d be questioning would be if the dorsal could perform better …. Either as a result of different culture (whatever magic it needs) or just plant size. I like the general form and color of All the segments…. I gave away 2 out of 3 of a similar cross from Graham…. For exactly...

nice plant.... needs a stem prop.... ;-)

there are other brands of the same chemical (azadirachtin) in either the same concentration as azamax or other variations.. but you may need to buy a lot to get a decent cost point... Azapro (1.2%) Azaguard (3%) Azasol - (6% instead 1.2%) - comes in a powder form with typically longer...

Sepos liquidated our library 10 or so years ago when we left the last venue with a permanent closet where it was setup like a library (ya, it was a big closet). I understand the perceived value, but if you are offering it as a product to your membership, consider who will both value it AND...

Never!

Thought it was a watercolor …. Not a photograph!! Like that for sure

For me. Remembering these is simple now. If it’s green like yours. Then warszewiczianum If it has some color more than green. Is it big? Then caudatum If not humboldtii No pouch lindenii

for those that have the last version and aren't sure how to read through all the conversation to see what this version actually has.... you can download it and run it for free for 30 days... test drive is always better than just conversation (for me at least)

Tom also check out SVO for fairreanum. Fred is line breeding them. so although they may not be cutting edge quality as Theresa's, they grow well and flower well... and i'll second Tim for charlies' he has stock from Sam as well as others.. (i think he had some TON crosses as well..)

watch for active root tips... i showed a similar mount to that to Peter Lin of DIamond orchids... he immediately started pulling the moss off the mount... but remember the adage,."what works for you works for you;. Meaning, what i just mentioned about Peter pulling moss off may...

Maybe this is worth appending to this thread. Mine was growing well on a teak root. But ‘let go’ and stopped growing well. I just removed it from the root, cleaned it up, and mounted to a fresh piece of cork. I can update this thread in 6 months or so with the progress for infos sake.

Might be worth putting together a ‘pinned’ cheat sheet of knowledge tidbits to help others navigate the RHS site idiosyncrasies…. For example, for a hybrid lookup, the order of the parents matters. Stonei x Roth may return a ‘not found’ whereas Roth x stonei may return Lady Isobel. (And...

nice petal color and interior pouch markings... nice variety in your collection!

awesome that you'll end up with a nice sized population from that selfing of his FCC>.. fortunate you are, regardless of how long its taking to get this far... congrats... .....and ignore Tony my guess is he could make a rock multiply into a nice specimen AND flower it... :-)

in our locale, feed stores sell both 'chicken grit' and the stuff pictured below. the chicken grit is a coarser media but also provides a source of calcium... i use the stuff pictured liberally as 'oyster shell' multiple growers/breeders i know do the same and call it 'oyster shell'...

that's my first bloom of that seedling grown from flask it was an exciting happenstance :-)

looks to me like epidendrum parkinsonianum... stacyii hangs differently...
