Coloration is normal Can't wait to see yours when it's open!

I think it is now completely open, and has a spread of 17.8 cm. It's turned more yellow, but I'm not sure it's gonna darken up much more.

Looks like my Sander's Pride

Not entirely sure, the plant originally came from RJ Rands back in the 70s and he was known for adding variety names and such to differentiate plants. I'm guessing the leaves are the main difference, and the flowers are smaller and deeper yellow than typical concolor and usually multifloral with...

Very cool. This is the only native I grow indoors and it's done well for the last four years or so. It's just now sprouting back up after its rest.

Definitely a hybrid, possibly Neostylis Lou Sneary

Looks like my concolor v. regneiri

I haven't fertilized any of my orchids in years, and never noticed a difference. I use unsoftened city water instead of RO though.

As I mentioned in another thread, I bought this plant as a fresh out of compot seedling in June of 1997. There's another 10 or so plants from this compot floating around our local society, and as far as I know this is the first one to bloom. It just opened today and is still a little green, but...

Sounds like my Delrosi. It's got over a dozen huge growths and has never bloomed. I bought it at an auction as well when it had about 8 growths thinking maybe I could finally bloom it since the person that had it before got sick of waiting...jokes on me I guess.

In all honesty, I'd consider phil to be one of the easiest growing paphs. The only problem I've ever had is that it is more prone to rot if water is left on the lower parts of the leaves.

False...I know the secret is to spread Elmer's Glue all over my hand, let it dry, then peel the glue "skin" off like we did as kids and it takes the prickles out with it. TPBM is watching Weeds

False, never had to get a student loan since my mom works at the college I went to so it was 70% off. TPBM is a Big Brother fan

I had to look up old local orchid society newsletters to verify what year I got it in lol. June of 1997 just didn't seem that long ago until I did the math...glad I bought it when I was 17. Two other OS members bought a compot of it for a hefty price at the time since it had some great parents...

Looks like the joys of brachy/parvi x multi hybrids. Unfortunately this happens quite a bit in my experience. A few months ago I finally bloomed my Dr. Toot (delenatii x kolo) after waiting a few years and it did the exact same thing. Luckily my Dollgoldi is opening after an 11 year wait and...

LOL I justified getting them because the gene that makes them fluoresce came from corals. I found them fitting...

They grow in a "plate" form that slowly spreads out in all directions. The person that aquacultured it cut it up in pizza slice fashion instead of squares for whatever reason and that's what a $200 watermelon chalice slice looks like lol

Well, Spice was the first to join the family, and when she was a puppy she was a LOT to handle. So after about two weeks Josh was basically added to the mix to entertain her and so it was for a long time. Callie came along a few months ago as a hyper puppy (still is) and as soon as she joined...

Another newer addition to the family, there's now three Shelties running around the house. The Black one is Josh, the Blue Merle is Spice, and the sable is Callie. Spice and Josh are about 1 1/2 years old now and came from a great breeder, Callie just turned 1 and was a rescue. My brother...
