For the sake of paying homage to JP Faust amazing work, I've dig up this tread. Here is my Farfadet's Strike from JP Faust breeding program! It's one of my big favourite ever-flowering, branching, imposing Phragmipedium in the 'Sorcerer's Apprentice kind of lineage'. As you will see mine is much...

Don't remind me! What a disappointment it was!

So this morning I took some measurements, flower dorsal is 6.5 cm high x 4.7 cm width; petals are 20cm long. The plant measure 70cm and the max leave width is 6.5 cm. For some reasons the flowered appeared yellower this morning. I have another Saint Swithin but the leaves are quite different...

Lol, which one of you is David?

OK, I'll stop playing dumb My first guess when it began opening was Kolosand, but given the petals are not extending any more, this is not it. My second guess was a Temptation (kolopagingii x philipinensis) but most pictures I find online have more twisty petals. I was also seeing the kolo...

Hi everyone, here is the first bloom from this grex puchased from Orchid Inn Ltd. As you can see, this roth is very unique and completely original compared to my other rothschildianum. Anyone else flowered this amazing grex (PAS0365) and could share pictures?

Hi cbart, sorry I did not see your message earlier. I sure would be interested in some of those moquetteanum! Regarding the callosum viniferum, its a shame they are asymetrical! Its quite strange in fact, to have all of them this way! When acquired my flasks, I don't remember any callosum were...

Magnifique! Is the flower large? I have a few labata here in French Guiana and sure hope my climate will be favorable for blooming!

So this is a lueddemanniana escura ('Boa Vista' x 'Labelo Cheio'), from the Z-2598 cross, I purchased as a seedling in 2021 from AWZ Orquidea in Brazil. It flowered for the first time in April 2024, with 2 blooms. Then it flowered again in July 2024 with 3 blooms. And again this December...

That is a good idea! Many thanks!

Thank you for your answer. All my flasks from OI are also in individual pots now. That being said, larger seedlings is absolutely an option. I'm always interested in acquiring groups of 5-6 seedlings per variety just to have a good representation of each grex. If anyone has some, please contact...

Just a quick bump. Not much compots floating around I believe.

I wonder if there are special triggers to flower these multifloral.

Me too, I want to know :) Cheers

I really enjoy growing paphs (and phrags) from flasks or compots! When Sam Tsui retired, I acquired a good amount of compots and flasks (mostly multifloral hybrids) from various members of this forum that were distributing his plants. Through trials and errors, I have refined my growing...

Mama mia! Absolutely crazy!

Im vers interested. Will PM you tomorrow.

This is one of my Grande. It looks a lot like your plant. The real P. caudatum always display very erected and hard leaves.

Yes, Grande for me too.

This is not something I enjoy doing but I feel it’s important to warn people that the ‘evolution’ of Cattleya as presented in this post is purely speculative. None of the genetic data publicly available can be used to assess introgression or hybridization history (mitochondria and chloroplast do...
