I'll be keeping the nicest one for myself, obviously. And will have the rest for several months as they root. Soaked it for a couple hours before starting, then spent another couple hours untangling. Even so, many healthy roots were lost. But the divisions should bounce back.

At the moment I could reasonably handle a specimen helenae in my cabinet. That's about it. This one was growing like crazy. Sure - when it's warmed up a bit and they've had some time to root.

I only drink cold, delicious Coca-Cola Classic. But the 'chids get r/o water.

I bought this at the PF about 10 years ago :D

Paph. Freckles 'White Sapphire'. I've been lazy the past few years and just repotted it. But I grow indoors and it was taking up way too much space.

Hmmm I use CAL-MAG Plus at 2 mL per gallon. About twice a month but I'm not overly careful on the schedule. The Green Hornet is constantly in bloom and this is the first spike that has wonky blooms. There are 2 other spikes currently blooming normally. Maybe I over-supplemented it without...

Now my longifolium has a butt pouch. I can only conclude that my orchid cabinet is haunted.

I use Cal-Mag a couple times a month. But I've been doing that for years...

So the next flower on this spike - not so elegant...

I got a wonky bloom with 2 mirror-image pouches on my Phrag Green Hornet (longifolium x pearcei). I just wish it was genetically stable because I kinda like it. Normal bloom: The color's not quite right in the photos since they were taken under my grow lights, but you get the idea --Stephen

I know it's difficult, but you should try to keep the jealous tone out of your responses. One day Phrag Eric Callender will bloom nicely!

Unfortunately, I dunno. I grow inside so my orchids don't get the Maryland summer heat.

Calling this a triumph of the human spirit only undersells it a little. Green Hornet x Barbara LeAnn --Stephen

Not yet, but it's still small.

I found this one last month. I was skimming my photos app and realized I forgot to share :D

Hi all, I grew this from a flask I bought as dalessandroi. But it doesn't look like one to me. I suspect it's a Jersey (besseae x dalessandroi) or some other mix of dalessandroi and besseae. This is its second blooming. I've bloomed 3 others and they all had a similar shape. What do you...

I agree. Staminode's not quite correct for a pure spicerianum. Did the dorsal ever reflex?

I've also moved to mostly Phrags. They're just so much easier... I will have a list for you presently 😈
