While I’m at it.. here’s two more that bloomed back in late fall :) Paph. Prince Edward of York x vietnamense Paph. Lola Bird

Paphiopedilum S.Gratrix Paphiopedilum Carmen Coll Paphiopedilum Chou-Yi Wench Paphiopedilum Fanaticum

Gift from Russell. It took a few years to reach blooming size, like almost 5 years I think. But it’s very pleasant to look at and the flower is relatively big compared to it’s foliage so it’s a plus :) Cahaba Yellow bird is Phrag. Robert Palm x richteri Enjoy :) First or second flower...

What a cutie!! I need one of these right now! :drool: :p

Yes, it's: PAS0508 'Wide Petals' x 'Perfect Circle' :)

I mostly grow Phrags and orchids that enjoys intermediate temps and tap water. As you can see from the white deposit on the bark chips, the emersonii doesn't seem to be bothered with salt built-up :p Actually, from the dark luscious leaves on my plant, I think that it loves the extra calcium...

Good thing that the dorsal is meh. Otherwise I would have fainted for sure.. :p I took some measurements : the NS is a little over 13cm, the petals are 5cm wide (2") and the leaf span is 28cm (11"). It's a little fragrant, but you have to stick your nose in the flower to smell that faint rose+...

We do have to experiment for ourselves to see what works and what doesn't :) Also, I mostly grow in rockwool and sphagnum moss, so amping the fert is not always a good idea for my plants. As for getting more flowers out of a Phrag, I find that the longer the new growth takes to mature, the more...

I do have a 10-52-10 fert. that I use in spring when my plants start to show signs that the growing "season" has started for them in my basement :) Haven't used it on my hangianum, though. I was too afraid to shock it. I'm more confident now. Thanks for the tip, John. :)

Thanks guys. I bought a nbs (or blooming size) plant 'cause I really didn't feel like waiting five years to see it bloom :). A bit expensive and I still had to wait two years, but really worth it IMO.

have you noticed when the mature plant pushes some new growths? Mine bloomed in late February and it still hasn't make a new start. I,m getting stressed and thinking that I probably shouldn't have let it bloom in the first place..

It's gorgeous!

I love that cross. I find that Suzanne Decker enjoys more light and more feed than other kovachii hybrids. I've also tried feeding more my Phrags while in growing period and beside making bigger plants, it didn't seemed to do anything else. As for the seedlings, I find that it's better to keep...

Great save!

Hi! Here's the first blooming on my plant from the orchidinn (Sam). Enjoy! :)

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Get it judged eventually. It will give value to the seedlings from the selfing :)

Great seeing you post pictures again. :) Nice Cirila Alca. It won't stay small for too long. ;)

Gorgeous!

You can get kovachii flasks from the same place you got your flask of Apollo... Also, there's Ecuagenera and peruflora.

Gorgeous! I red on the internet that the recurving of the petals happened when it was blooming under warmer conditions. Don't know how accurate it is or what they meant by warm, though.
