    C maxima 'La Pedrona'

    very interesting on the 'i like it side' of that... is this your first blooming? if not, have you ever bloomed out more that 4 flowers on an inflorescence? from the photos, it's tough to tell if its a highland or low land variety... of hybrid of the two... (the subterfuge there is...

    I can finally grow my stonei in big clumps

    @Camellkc i was talking about what i circled below when i was referring to the 'apparent phyto toxicity' and not at all being judgmental just checking to see if you had any thoughts... i included a photo of similar symptoms on one of my Brachy hybrids. Which i believe is a reaction to...

    I can finally grow my stonei in big clumps

    nice looking 'clumps' for sure... can you isolate the cultural aspects that get you to 'hard' leaves? and ;-) any ideas if you can place the apparent cause of the phytotoxicity seen in the leaf 'bleaching' on some of the plants (i have the same thing in some of my brachy hybrids, that i...

    Where have all the Phrag. Jason Fischers gone?

    Chuck had a bunch in the pipeline and had a major 'flasking service failure' that took all of them out... kind of depressing as i would be seeing flowers this year from them :-( you can imagine HIS dismay

    New orchid seedling troubles- Novelty Phals

    Ya. I was trying to respond without leading you that way. I don’t ‘ think moss growers would have been insulted. It more sounded like you might not know folks grow in that stuff as a matter of course. Just trying to help :-).

    New orchid seedling troubles- Novelty Phals

    Might want to consider gently covering the new root tips with your potting mix, since ultimately you’d want those roots seeking moisture in the pot… And just to blow your mind, many folks grow in that “awful tightly packed sphagnum moss’ as a matter of course. But of course they would likely...

    What the heck is this?

    Realize we are a forum of folks that fundamentally want to help, and have significantly varied experience, knowledge, and trouble shooting abilities. That said, if your issue is a phytoxic reaction to a chemical spray you applied, you probably want to consider that heavily when thinking about...
