Beautiful! I fear Kovachii would chose to die in our summer heat waves! No air conditioning! I have lost 2 Kovachii primary hybrids…one each year over the last 2 years! The rest seem determined to ignore the heat! It helps that they are in my kitchen South window. It is the coolest room in my...

Hello from MInnesota USA

I have to say, you have a real talent with the Catts!

Are they a cold or warm loving plant

Welcome! I currently have no Paphs, struggling to understand my Phrags of which I have 8. Two of them are species and 6 of them are primary hybrids of Bessiea and Kovachii. I also have 3 Phals. I had 3 mini’s given to me by my son but they were in sphagnum moss which promptly rotted and took the...

Nice to meet you phraggy! Is that a clue to your fav orchid??

Congrats Leslie! They are SOOO Beautiful! Definitely is making my day more cheerful already

Lovely!

Thanks everyone, for the suggestions. I usually use a weaker solution and have it in their regular watering. If that makes sense? Then I flush weekly. Is that method ok? I also leave water in the tray which is always cleaned up weekly as well. As for light levels, I have them in a south window

I am jealous! Very close to purchasing one! Not sure if they like me or not! I have had Phrags for 2 years and have lost two due to heat waves! What I have left don’t seem to care so much! They are young, I am getting new plants that are coming up. Some have gotten quite large. Flowers???…None...

Yeah, I have gotten kiekis in the past but it has been a long time! 1980’s

I made the mistake of starting my Experience with Phrags with Primary hybrids. I am told they are almost as touchy as the species behind them! I lost one to heat last summer and another to heat this summer. I did purchase a seedling that was Kovachii x a complex hybrid and it breezed through the...

Yes, I have considered getting one though the price is steep for my tiny budget!

I agree, flowers are what they are! No matter how “similar”, they may seem, they are as different as fingerprints! Absolutely identical usually doesn’t exist! Some plants will show more variety than others but wow, I am stunned by the slight variations that make each flower “unique”. If they...

Very nice! I have seen a huge variation in pics of these! I like this one

Never could figure out why some paphs and Phrags do this! I am told the Phrags are descended from plants that crawl uphill in the mountains. Maybe this is true of Paphs as well! I know it is not a good situation and getting them to root is difficult (lost one due to that and the Paph expert I...

Ha ha!! I like that word too!

💝💞💖 My heart is throbbing 💖💞💝 I am definitely in Love with it!!

Sigh, I am with you there! I work so hard to give them max cooling air movement but they are so touchy about the heat
