Mine needed higher temperature (20-25°C) and a lot of water during bud grow. It is planted in lava, the roots are mostly in the upper part of the lava rocks, so I have to give water daily.

I stayed in Thailand one month ago and saw a lot of orchids in the wild (national parks), botanic gardens and nurseries. I felt the intensive heat and light, the dryness and heavy rain. I saw how "poor" the orchids look in the dry season but they were much stronger than we think. They were...

For me this creates a little more natural picture.

I´m not sure. I bought it 2 years ago with a bud and than the flower came with the light colors. I think it was in a greenhouse before. Here it is in a terrarium under fluorescent light. Water, temperature und fertilizer will differ too. Btw.: It has a nice smell.

Had to wait 2 years for the next flowers but it was worth waiting ;) That´s a flower of the same plant 2 years ago, what a difference:

Valerius (Fam. Jäger), in Berlin, Germany. They only stop their Paph. breeding program. They created plants like: http://www.rz-orchideen.de/galerie/original/Paphiopedilum%20Schloss%20Sanssouci%2006.html http://www.rz-orchideen.de/Dresden/original/Paphiopedilum%20Brandenburger%20Tor.html...

Today I visit an orchid nursery which sells all their old plants because they will stop breeding (it´s too expensive and time intensive for them). They have great botanical forms and and a lot of hybrids there, wish I have more space to get them all. ;) At the end I bought one of their own...

Just in bloom, has 6 spikes .... easy grower.

It´s pure lava ( size 8-16 mm ), no semi hydro.

Lol, that´s right. As long as pink plants are named violet (violacea) and violet plants named blue - who cares about names? ;) But the flower is nice - it doesn´t matter what the name is.

Yes !

My 2nd sukhukulii is open since 1 week and it´s much bigger than my first plant. First the spike with two buds: The whole plant: The flower: The staminode: A look from above to see the pollen:

Noooo, here are more pictures: http://www.rz-orchideen.de/Dresden/thumb.html The show was in April this year.

Dot, you don´t need a expensive camera, a RAW program or photoshop to correct the color with the help of a grey card. You can do this with a JPG or TIF image almost as good, using a cheap grafic program (PSP or PhotoLine) or even freeware (Gimp, ....). If your camera makes RAW but you won´t pay...

Ray, these spectrums didn´t really show the light levels of fluorescent bulbs, these are only theoretical spectrums of a "black body". Here you can see the spectrums of common fluorescent bulbs (830, 840, 865), the difference lies in the red peak...

Here is a wonderful comparison chart for all common types of light sources with the results in photosynthetic yield/Watt or PAR PPFD. But it is in german, perhaps Google translate would help. http://www.hereinspaziert.de/Sehlicht_2009/Ergebnisse.htm As you can see here, Growlux is the...
