The empty vivarium was build for me by a glazier. I´m too old to cut glass and stick the panes. ;) All the other work was done by myself.

Oh oh, my english .... what do you mean with that question? :confused:

Thank you! I think this one here is the best of my terrariums, with more light but without paphs. ;)

Ernie, I just bought Epson Salt today, that will be the first thing I will change. The delenatii will be repotted after bloom. Not all plants in my terrarium has pale or stunted leafs:

Humidity: 60-80% rh Temperature: room temperature (18-30 °C) Light intensity: my lux meter shows about 7000 lux (~ 700 fc ?). I use fluorescent light (light color 840 + 865) and I´m sure that this cheap lux meter didn´t show the right intensity in this case. I have some paphs in another...

Moss is growing in every pot here in my terrarium, no matter what potting medium I use. And it grows very fast. And now my question: Can it be that the compact growth comes from the fact that the plant receives (too) much light? I ask because other Paphs in the terrarium (not all) also has a...

Mine is in full bloom too:

Noooo, the next shoot will flower without any leaves. :)

I have a great success in creating the smallest delanatii plant ever. :drool: Flower and staminode has the normal size and shape: Taking a quick look the whole plant seems to be normal: But a closer look at the plant shows us, that the leaves are getting shorter every shoot. The...

No, a Phal. Mancervi look different: http://phals.net/mannii/Mancervi.html And a mannii would have a wider lip.

Ach Christian .... schau genau hin. Ich verstecke mich unten, hinter der Kamera. :)

Medium light, warm, watering twice a day, enough fertilizer (Bulbos like a lot of fertilizer).

Look at the nectar drop in the last picture, it´s like a mirror, you can see my room.

Most of my paphs get pale leaves when they get plenty of light. The leaves get smaller but the flowers are normal.

I bought this plant on the main market in Funchal, Madeira two years ago. It´s grows very well and this year I can show you the flower (last year I broke the spike :mad:). I hope this is really a P. Shireen, perhaps someone can confirm?

Thank you very much.

var. nigritum is a common name for the darker color version of barbatum - that can be sold better. ;-) It is not an accepted name by KEW or IPNI. Maybe P. barbatum nigritum or 'nigritum' would be better. Or only P. barbatum. I will ask Dr. Braem ....

Nothing special, I use a Panasonic GF1 (Micro-FourThirds-Kamera) with a LEICA DG Macro-Elmarit 45 mm. These pictures where made with indirect sunlight. But that´s only one part for getting pictures with such a big depth of field, especially because I work with a aperture of 5.4 to 8.
