Thank you for making everyone, including myself jealous, a wonderful bloom. What is the ns?

To add confusion to your query... https://www.slippertalk.com/threads/grande-w%C3%B6ssner-supergrande-leslie-garay.41805/ Such is this taxonomic mess that I've seen vendors using Grande to refer to longifolium x humboldtii and longifolium x caudatum crosses. Then there are people still using...

So what happened was the petal got stuck in the staminode and both are a little worse for wear... 3rd bloom should be great. Snip, snip.

Been putting in yeoman's work keeping my orchids safe. Noticed a spike a couple of weeks ago and figured I would let it bloom. Opens sequentially and each bloom only stays open for a handful of hours and then withers. I believe these can self pollinate which explains the short window of being...

Ray knows what you need. Should be pretty easy to pick-up.

@abax Do we need to stage an orchid intervention?

Thank you, are you treating it the same as your other phrags? I would be curious to know about how old the mother plant is and if it has bloomed out yet.

For a first bloom I shudder to think how much better that can get. Absolutely lovely! What's the ns?

What wattage of fan did you go for?

3rd flower... I would give this one the award for "Most Improve Flower 2020." Interesting the movement of the darker green dots are now neatly grouped in the center.

This is my second blooming OZ clone besseae frma. flavum. Like my other OZ flavum it has a wonky first flower. This one is around 7.5cm (bigger than my other one) and still opening. Just want to see how it looks on day 3 and will cull for the next bloom. This plant seems to be less of a climber...

Oh yay, please do.

Ha, that's what I figured. I responded in kind. Turns out I'm not the only one growing orchids to decorate a moss collection :D.

Sorry for your loss. Phrag. Frank Smith?

Kate, nice moss;). Even better bloom!

I cannot take credit for the moss, it was fairly well established.

It's not a bloom but about the next best thing. I could barely contain my excitement today. A new growth emerging from a mossy layer. This is from Tom Kalina of Fox Valley and is nearly 10 years out of the flask, Phrag. vittatum 'Birchwood' x self. I just hope it is not another 10 years before...

I second the CPU fans, I got a few AC Infinity fans, as they are not too expensive. I have one dedicated to provide low constant air (7/6.5 watt) for a couple of plants that need it and a more powerful one that gets a whole rack flowing (22/18 watt), though that one is a little loud and sounds...

That high you might have issues with condensation and water pooling in your cabinet. We have had a really humid few days and my humidifiers were running at full blast push my rh to 90%+ and was causing water to build up in spots. If you get that water pooling in crowns it could get out of hand.

Thank you for asking these questions. I think there's a lot of layers to this and Rob hit on some great points and this touches on a post recently by @eds . I am teaching my daughter words and every page has pictures of animals, etc. When we are taught what a zebra looks like it has stripes as a...
