man i so much want to poke the bear.... :-)

Love it! Jealous…. Don’t have a good version of this or it’s kissing cousin And no biting!!!!

just to add to the above, Tamiami is a redlands clone Frank Smith hosts the International paph and vanda symposium in the fall and the International Phalaenopsis Alliance is (apparently) combining their yearly event into that same weekend at Franks in Apopka...

Not a plant physiologist and I don’t even play one on TV.. but I can say that in my collection, not only do these symptoms not spread to other plants, the symptoms don’t spread on the same plant once the plant is given the water it needs.

in my experience, and knowing these are phrags (with a couple hundred of them growing in my greenhouse)... they weren't getting enough water at some point in their life cycle. could be because the roots aren't in good shape, or just because they weren't watered as frequently as they desired...

The last grex of Dolgoldii from Sam was really nice. he was selling the NBS seedlings for 90$ before the fire sales started... both of the examples i got from him bloomed the following year...

SInce i just killed the second of these seedlings i had purchased from Sam back in '22... Hoping someone else secured a few and wouldn't mind 'sharing''... just PM me rather than flurry in responses...

Love this flower. Even more so…. Misery loves company on the ‘cultural bumps in the road’ comment… So many times I’m blooming out a grex that I’ve had from flask or initial offering. Well after others have had 3 flowerings in their plants. All because of those bumps…. :-). Hi...

Interesting that you water less in the summer. Any thoughts on that reasoning?

Agreed. And yours is a nice example.. particularly fond of the lighter pouch against a nice red petal color like yours. Maybe we should start… ‘Yea lindleyanum hybrids’. :-)

Sounds great. Do you have a link to more info yet? I suspect it’ll be in Hilo, but would love to start planning..

all good... clearly yours is a mature plant (and looks really nice ;-) ) ....mine ...not so much on the mature side...

This thing just glows under my lights. Peeks out from the back looking at the stairs to greet me every morning

+1 most definitely i would also add that based on your photo, it appears that the infection has progressed into the rhyzome. see that the edge of the leaf shows the infection... you need to treat the base of the base of the plant.

For me. It’s mostly compost!!!! :-)

any of your Hilo Bald Eagles look like this? - not sure if that dorsal will flatten out on future bloomings... maybe its time to dump while in flower.. ;-)

Thanx for that…. Feel free to post comparative photos here if the spirit moves…. I forget if there are a flasks’ worth of these hiding or if I just bought a few seedlings…. Maybe I’ll extend this post as sibs show up…. The leaf habit on this one is way more grasslike than MDC. And...

Not at all. Sits with the rest of the Aerangis and phals Think this was from a Louisiana orchid connection Madagascar order

I took the picture. So figured I’d post it. :)

(Memoria **** Clements x klotzschianum) from Bill Goldner (#5531) Wish the dorsal was a bit more upright. But keeping this one til the plant shows some heft. Nice color though.
