I'd guess there's P. Spicerianum in there somewhere. Maybe it's 1/10th or something like that.

Hi from Kansas.

I like those. It's like classy without being too outrageous.

Although I guess in the wild they'd probably just decompose with leaf clutter. Leaving them in a pot would probably attract some kind of bugs I would think.

Those leaves are amazing.

Yes I thought they had rounder pouches but it wouldn't bother me I like it.

Some plants are easy to repot and don't mind it so you can just remove the whole leaf. Others hate it and it damages the roots so just cutting it off is okay for a little while.

I don't think they necessary have to turn brown. Well they probably do if you're going to store them.

Yeah I've heard about those caves. Actually if there's enough light I bet it would work well in Kansas. Greenhouses get way too hot to enjoy. I don't live near there though. Jackson's Greenhouse in Topeka does have some good Paphiopedilums but it's not their main thing.

Wow nice.

Actually that plant had about five buds and none ever opened. It was just a NOID rescue that I killed. I just liked the leaves so I took a bunch of pictures anyways. Yeah that Norito Hasegawa bud didn't open. The thing just turned brown. The actual plant seems fine though.

Yeah they do look pretty good. Any idea how the roots are?

Thanks trdyl and phraggy and everyone.

Very nice display with the rocks and all. Is this in a greenhouse?

Yeah there are some Cypripediums in Vermont where I grew up. 99% of the time you don't see them because they hide under leaves and pine needles. I would try growing them outdoors except for all the rabbits that eat everything.

I'll try Photobucket. Looks like there's a YouTube icon here too. I know how to make slideshows. Photobucket I never tried.

Hey Boston and New York! Yeah actually I did find a local place that has some. It's not exactly close though and expensive. I did get one of those Raisin pie orchids there last year. Cool leaves. Are those things related to the Purpuratum?

Thanks Yeah I'm in Kansas now. Grew up in Vermont mostly.

I think it's a Paph. Deperle or something like that. I saw them advertised recently. I'd have to double check exactly.

I'm still working on the photo thing. Actually I got it by mail and the guy said it's from shipping- shock and being wet I guess. Makes sense but with only one growth I'd rather not lose leaves. The bud looks good though and really big.
