Beautiful! I love this species, hope to get one within the next few years.

Wonderful group of plants and cool to see them 'side-by-side'. I think I like phillippinensis best, those clear yellow sidelobes are pretty great along with everything else.

Nice! Looks very healthy, how long have you had these out of flask?

Very nice viet! A little cupped, maybe, but looks to have great symmetry and the patterning on pouch and foliage are outstanding. Is your alba del still blooming? An albescent HCM remake could be pretty cool...

In my limited experience many Bulbos, esp. cirrhopetaloid ones, grow and bloom better in moderately high light. Hard to generalize about such a huge and diverse genus, though, and there are certainly many shade-loving species. A good rule of thumb is to go by foliage succulence-- species with...

Beautiful delenatii collection, Mary!

Beautiful flower! Very cool to see one of these mythical creatures in bloom and I hope they eventually become as affordable as album delenatii...

Great trio! The vini opened up nicely but that standard has great size, form, and color. Might be a good cross between those two?

That is a nice one! Very round pouch and intense coloration.

Very beautiful foliage and flowers! I agree that the color is special, one of the nicest Brachy Paphs I've seen.

Lovely specimen, Mike! I wish I had the room (and skill) for stuff like this, maybe someday...

Absolutely gorgeous, John! Beautiful specimen and one of the nicest naturalistic presentations I've seen. Thanks for the before-and-after shots, too. I resolve to grow my lundii better, it does okay but clearly not living up to the species' potential...

That's beautiful, Dot!

Wonderful! I love that pleated foliage, Cyps are very attractive plants even aside from the blooms.

Wow, nice plants! I hope they grow well for you.

Around these parts (no pun intended!) we call that the 'seat.' Pretty picture, though I can't agree with the implied assertion (did Mutant start this?) that Parvis look like toilets. :p

Do you have the Bakers' culture book on Phrags? Usually available used on Amazon for around $30 shipped, give or take. Doesn't include the newer species like kovachii, but you do get several other 'P' genera including Phalaenopsis.

That looks like a real nice Fumi's Delight, someone scored on this one!

You live in a country with an abundance of incredible native orchid species, a thriving hobbyist community, and a range of horticulturally appropriate climate regions. Exactly what 'hassle' has prevented you from getting into orchids? Go buy something cheap from an Australian nursery and have...

Gorgeous! Great plant and lovely color form, the staminode markings look like a butterfly.
