Pretty soon if they form a capsule. But won't know if there is seed until I harvest them, and no guarantee that they germinate until they do... Probably a year to know anything useful.

I would want... :)

So, one of the things I got from Orchid Inn when he retired was his pollen library. Very comprehensive... It took most of a month, but I've sorted and inventoried all of it. Made the executive decision to throw out some of it (couldn't decipher the writing, or really old). Not sure how long...

You will be a lot busier when those go into individual pots... :)

Well... yes, but it will be hard to tell which is which. I'd be embarrassed to send plants without tags. Kovachii hybrids in general the same as any phrag hybrid that doesn't have long petals. Intermediate temps, moderate light (whatever you would grow a phal in, maybe a bit more). If you...

Although you should have received tags... Did you order them by name?

The best grown besseae I've ever seen (wasn't mine) was in one of those plastic bulb pans that people use for bulbophyllums. Leaves must have been almost 1.5" wide, well over a foot long. Amazing... I grow my 'keeper' besseae that way now, they seem to like finding the bottom of the pan...

I wonder if Maudiae x vietnamense might give a similar result. Pretty sure all my maudiae are triploids, so I can't do it.

My avatar is one of those OZ besseae. Went through a very warm summer many years ago and I think I've lost all of them. I might still have one of that 'Haven' x "smokin' grex left somewhere. But if I recall it has never really grown well after the summer of death. You might be surprised how...

This is a clone Orchid Inn bred with a lot, but it wasn't awarded until today. 'Perfection' AM/AOS

Although I own several hundred phrags, I don't think I have Jason Fischer... I have found fox valley fireball and sunset magic to be reliable substitutes, and better bloomers. I have a sunset magic that is better in every aspect than any Jason Fischer I've seen that I've been breeding with...

The one I had awarded a couple weeks ago was from the same grex as well. Bodes well for the other remakes.

Micranthum. He gave me the same advice... :) malipoense you only need a dozen of.

Very nice. The trick is having a few hundred, then you always have one or two in bloom. :) Or it seems like it, anyway.

Something isn't right. I'd switch it out to a bark or moss based mix ASAP. Now is a good time when the new growth is small. Doesn't look like it is in terrible condition, but I don't know if I'd wait much longer. Fall is an excellent time to repot these.

I think he has closed.

I think Sam had it labeled barbigerum aureum. I'm not at all surprised they recovered the pigment, though. Not sure how many genes there are in the pathway, but at least two!!

None of mine have bloomed yet... Cute!

I get all mine from Edgar (windswept). Someday I might divide some...
