    Yikes, spotted leaf, erwinia?

    Thank you! Such great advice - done this on a young paph that had an infected leaf and after puncturing the area has dried right up!

    Paphiopedilum coccineum

    Paph. Welleslayanum (concolor x leucochilum)

    Just moved house so excuse the poor photos. The flower took a few scratches in transit also. Really happy with this one even though the concolor is really out shining the leucochilum, wish I had staked the bud a bit better away from the leaf so the left petal would have flattened out like the...

    Light and color / leaf twist question

    The curling and the brown spotting on the tips of another leaf in that first photo make me think you're underwatering/not providing enough moisture/ humidity.

    paph. supardii

    I struggled to find many good examples online of this species so I was under the impression it was going to grow out like a kolopakingii or roth. 85cm is a monster leaf..

    A few of my Neos

    Lovely plants, Neo's are great value plants; compact, pretty foliage, easy to care for and such a range of lovely fragrant flowers. Now I see I need a green flowered one.. <3

    paph. supardii

    Bought at Burnham Nurseries, UK in 2012(!) as a seedling this plant has followed me around numerous abodes of the UK growing at a glacial pace. It now has four mature growths, finally flowering from one. I imagine the small, compact nature is more due to environment than genotype? Only three...

    Phragmipedium Lovely Lynne

    Not one of the best but lovely none the less.

    Neofinetia falcata 'Kibana'

    Meant to repot but the spikes started coming so I will wait until after. 2 more spikes to bloom. A very easy plant that is bulking nicely. I really like how the flowers colour up over the course of a few days.

    Short vs tall pots for Phrags

    Morning Monocotman, Have you posted seperately with more details on your set up? Super interested to learn more as I am reviewing my substrate for phrags as it becomes harder to get good quality bark media in UK.
