yes your advice is sound, I will do it this weekend , just want to hang on to the flower a few more day, LOL , for a wrinkly flower !!!

I should have . The collection is not appropriate for indoor without the greenhouse (one is forced to water each plant instead of spray the whole greenhouse at once)

yes , you are right, I think he concentrates on different orchid genera now , it is regrettable because he has the most beautiful color venustum stud plants .

thanks, the disappointment is the pouch, I saw that the pouch was so wrinkly, but still hope for a straight line rim (like so many venustums' posted photos) but as the flower grew bigger from the bud stage, the hope just fizzles a little more each passing day .

hopefully so , this is a different cross, he used "SVO" crossed with "Delightful Dark" , not the dark red "Christmas" or the "Christmas Highlight" clones .

I bought 2 paph venustums from SVO , but neglecting them for a while ( in fact the neglection was equally treatment of the whole collection) , the plants lost their leaves . Then a few months ago , I noticed that one of them had a bud, I gave it a little bit more water , however the effort was...

wonder if these judges would downgrade a beauty queen to first runner up if she dares to tilt her head on stage.

yes those were good actions you have taken. We should always breed the plants which we have that others don't seem to have, and donate the results . I had a few dendrobium ochraceum (which I bought legally within the US, and since then I have not seen that species sold here again, not one plant...

I forget to mention that what we see here is the local trading inside Vietnam for common folks, not mean for the international collectors. They do not sell or ship outside the country. I would venture to guess that the case of humongous harvesting to supply the Chinese herbal market must involve...

I understand and agree with you , that said , I also think along the way Martin and Rudolf thought, that the natives need to survive , actually the peoples who bought from the tribal peoples and resell plants in these video are not big enterprises, once a while they get the shipments . The ones...

Perhaps not the helenae specifically, but it was not that suddenly there were the Victorian Englishmen who taught us to collect and grow flower. nor was it a sudden fad in recent time either. The Vietnamese always collected orchids, and grew them , especially the scholarly or wealthy types .(so...

I don't think CITES has any jurisdiction on what the Vietnamese doing within Vietnam . Another matter, it may sound controversial to some , the minority tribes who live up in the mountains and highlands have to earn a living, to feed their children with whatever mean they have . No one lift a...

I am translating what the seller mentioned : These are new arrival plants. There are 10 orders , means the helenae plants were separated into 10 heaps , ready for ordering. The price for each whole heap was 150,000 Vietnam Dong or 6.95 US dollars. I believe I hear him saying "today, I cover the...

If the Postal service is a Travel agency, we could buy a trip to one state, and yet get to tour all the 50 States in the union .
