Thus forum is a great place. There is always something to learn and do better.

Oh? it very well could be a poorly cared for plant I and exacerbated it by bring it it to a new environment and after a few weeks pollinating it. It has roots but they are not as healthy or robust as my others. The medium was quite broken down and not healthy looking. I cut the flower off...

Ive never pollinated any orchid though some have gone to seed from there time in the nursery in the past. I was just curious and exploring. I am aware they take many years to flower but its just an experiment for me. I had also been awarethzt they sent put out many viable seeds and when its...

I will keep that in mind as I am repoting a lot of mine coming up as big923cattelya mentioned.

That is good to know. I have quite the collection, but this was the only one showing issues. Most of them are healthy, but I’m still learning a lot about them as a go. I’m very grateful for the people in this forum always helping with information that backs up the books I’m reading. I bought it...

To start the leaves have always been super pale but recently those orange patches started popping up. The spots dont appeared after I self pollinated it. Room is 68-70 degrees f and 50-56%rh. Its leaves are about 10inches under a grow light like the rest of my paphs.

Mine from ebay just arrived! Glad to see its siblings are so beautiful.

I am looking for a Paphiopedilum tranlienianum clone that has this super slim reflexed dorsal petal base pic 1. A really curled top like the 2nd photo wold be a nice bonus too.

What a phenomenal bloom. The details are just mind blowing. Thank you for sharing.

Hello All, Does anyone have or know a place to get Prosthechea vitellina, formerly Encyclia vitellina? She seems to elude me and though I enjoy the hunt this one ive only seen on one site in the UK. I live in the US so preferable someplace here. Take care everyone :)

Incredible

I hope not. I want this cobra hood to be its form every year. I love it so much.

She’ll never win awards but I cannot get over the cobra hood shape quirk. I had to have this one in my collection bonus for having 2 flowers. I love the weird ones.

Thank you. I tried them before this post. Every shop was sold out even the ones I drove to mear me. I did find one and bought it via email thanks to a garden.org friend. It was a Canarys cove, the same species as the one thats the above ebay listing comment. I have found specifically the kalihi...

THANK YOU

You are a wizard. Excellent cross.

Not sure whats going on with this one paph but it doesnt look right. it was in a southeast window, sphag moss and medium sized bark and perlite mix. Out of my whole collection in the same window this one is doing this. Is it sick/contagious? paph dayanum.
