Thank you! This particular venustum grows like a weed.

Thank you!

Wow this thing is gorgeous!! First time bloomer for me, and I am thrilled!! It’s venustum ‘pink wings’ x ‘flat wings’.

One of my favorite venustum’s I have. She’s a beauty!

Yes mine is from Orchid’s Ltd. I have a book on Orchid’s of Sumatra, and there are a few pictures of pure Liemianum, both solid green and mottled leaf, growing side by side in the wild.

here’s mine

I have a mottled leaf Liemianum, and what I’ve learned with mine, is it requires tons of water!!, more than my Venustum’s do. I give mine decent light, with at least a 1/2 of direct sun, depending on the time of the year, and tons of water all year long.

Thank you! It’s a reliable bloomer every winter

The flowers do very much resemble that species this year for sure, but I assure you it is pure Chlorochilon

Very delicious and intoxicating!! I got it about 4 years ago at Orchid’s Limited.

My Cycnoches Clorochilon is in bloom. I love this thing!! Every winter, it fills the room with a very strong aroma of sweet banana popsicles!

i will say, I grew and flowered all my venustum’s and most Paph’s for that matter without a humidifier in the home for years! Light, media, and watering are way more important. The added humidity just makes them a bit happier

Thank you Ray! Beautiful specimen! I’d take it off your hands for you to add to my venustum collection! Haha

Any pics of the entire plant Ray? Thank you sir!

Probably kept them too dry... I’ve found that my venustum’s require a lot of water all year long.

Do you have any pics of the entire plant? Venustum’s are my favorite species. I have about 20 of them in my collection. Many crosses, as well as many different straight “wild” strains, if you will... my Venustum’s all flourish!! I grow all mine inside the house in a west window, with a cold air...

The leaves

Yes it's very beautiful even when it in flower

Beautiful aren't they!!

No it's straight Liemianum. They can either be solid green or mottled. I highly prefer the mottled leaf! :)
