I acquired this Phragmipedium hybrid yesterday, it had no name on the label. I was really attracted to it due to the pink hue with the green, that the veins are not too prominent on the pouch and the plant vigour. Personally I think it most resembles 'Leslie Garay' (caudatum x longifolium), or...

Very beautiful. How heat tolerant is this hybrid?

Thank you. ☺

Really beautiful! This one has a very nice pouch and dorsal. I have several clones of stonei now (it is my favourite Paph species), I have two which are flowering size and I really hope at least one of them flowers next year.

Orchids (especially slipper orchids) are my main botanical passion, however I also grow a lot of other plants, and I am especially fond of blue Meconopsis. I have collected a few varieties now, and I have recently finished a watercolour painting of Meconopsis 'Dalemain,' which flowered earlier...

Beautiful and very healthy! I wish my MK would flower, although I think mine needs to be a little bigger looking at your one.

A very fine plant. It is definitely a tempting 'Temptation!' I hope that my small one from Hilmar grows up to be just as tempting one day. ☺

It took me a couple of seconds to work out the pun! 😁

I understand the feeling, waiting for post (especially with live plants) make me more anxious as the days go by and I end up not being able to think of much else. It feels like a Christmas present when they arrive though ☺ (if they are in reasonable condition that is). Hopefully the plants will...

Thank you Ray. I have started using this product: https://thenutrientcompany.com/products/tnc-mycorr-hydro#plant-compatibility

They are in quite good condition considering they spent two weeks in the dark. :)

That is incredible! I am glad it turned up ok. :-)

Did the orchids reach their destination?

Thank you so much for taking photos of it. It is a superb looking specimen - very healthy. :-)

They have arrived! The relief is really quite something. So happy. ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺

I have been waiting for a delivery of orchids from abroad for over two weeks now. They are mostly Paphiopedilums. What is the maximum amount of time they can last in the post?

I wondered what are growers' experiences of using microbial inoculants for slipper orchids, if they have noticed any beneficial or negative effects? I am interested in this product: https://www.onestopgrowshop.co.uk/products/advanced-nutrients-tarantula-liquid

Thank you. I do not think I can get this product particularly easily in the UK, unfortunately.

They contain garlic oil which is distributed when the powder is lit. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fortefog-Garlic-Greenhouse-Promotes-Growth/dp/B07T3CZMQ6 They are more of a deterrent although they are quite effective on flying insects I have found. Alot of insects do not like the smell of garlic...

Thank you for the advice. What dosage of AzaMax per litre do you apply for slipper orchids?
