    Quarantine questions

    Will do! I noticed some…suspicious stickiness on my Phrag Sorc Apprentice while watering this morning, which is VERY weird as I have had it more than a year, there is nothing even near its orchidarium that is new nor are my known mealies anywhere near the phrag case! They are in a totally...

    Quarantine questions

    Hi all, I did my first mealy spray on Tuesday (two days before turkey day). Plan to do the second this coming Tuesday, and then a third a week after that. I did use a systemic, as recommended (outside, with my respirator on). Thanks again for all the good advice!

    Paphiopedilum King Arthur. I think.

    Such a lovely plant! And interesting history. And what an amazing gift to receive! Thank you for sharing the pics…is it growing in bark in that pot? Soil?

    Phragmipedium caudatum mislabeled and most likely grande

    Just gorgeous! And the plant looks fabulous, too! I have a P. Grande from Carter & Holmes sold to me as “Freel’s Grande” that looks very, very similar, fwiw (replying to MrHappyRotter). My P. Grande looks more open in habit, not like your compactly growing, tightly bunched together fans.

    Paphiopedilum ‘Crouching Tiger’ with two buds

    Thanks so much for both the encouraging words and the extra info! I have always wondered about the ‘ ‘: when to use them, when to not and that explains a lot that Ive observed in plant naming. And yes: two spikes (and, hopefully **more** than two buds!) I am really looking forward to see CT...

    Paphiopedilum ‘Crouching Tiger’ with two buds

    I received this from Lehua in Jan (2024); it was very healthy when it arrived and has seriously bulked up in the last 11 months. Ive got two buds showing. Pretty excited, but I am also wondering what everyone thinks about the plant being able to grow two spikes given its current size? I put...

    Lazy Update

    I love the way caudatum buds look. One of my favorite bud-appearances. (Tho the bug-leg look of roths unfolding is pretty cool, too)

    Returning to orchid growing

    And: Thank you!!!

    Returning to orchid growing

    My husband made them to my specs. The open/close vents are particularly nice, IMO. We have some leftover white oak from installing our new kitchen floor and we thought it would be a good use for it.

    New Paphs…mostly for comparison

    Ive had consistently good plants from PP. Almost always in good health, good roots and quick shipping. I am also really looking forward to Fanaticum! It seems to be a somewhat weak grower so: fingers crossed.

    Wanted Wanted Phrags.

    Lehua has a minimum order (15 plants, I think it was?), so sort of retail/sort of wholesale.

    New Paphs…mostly for comparison

    I ordered 6 new paphs (paph paradise) recently: First two because they looked pretty :) : Fanaticum (malipoense xmicranthum) and QF Warden (Lorraine’s Pride x wardii) Then: Another Wossner Black Wings (I already have one from Krull-Smith and even as a youngling, its leaf span is quite large...
