The leucochilum with stripes is an eye-catcher... 🧐

What a beaut... absolutely stunning...😍😍😍 I'm not sure I even want to go into my greenhouse tomorrow morning... My plants all pale to insignificance 😂

Green with envy... every thaianum I've bought, is rapidly transferred to the compost heap... :-( JL

Hi I really like this flower - which I believe is a synonym of P. appletonianum. Sadly the plant is taking strain, so I removed the flower as soon as I could take a pic. A small grow is peeping out and hopefully the plant will recover. JL

Hi all (from a still chilly southern hemisphere) A nice wardii has flowered for me, however it is dorsal has remained cupped. A comment from another paph grower has made me wonder if there is some sukhakulii in the background. Would be interested in your thoughts JL

Should be a fantastic cross... Are these from Mike Tibbs? The pictures he has posted on FB of P. Lovely Lynn are really great. JL

I love this genus - but I have found them (elatus and dissectus) to be really "twig" epiphytes. As it is warm enough in Durban, I set them free in a couple of azalea bushes where they rambled from twig to twig. I have never had success in the greenhouse or when placed on a "branch" or even on...

Greetings from a decidedly cooler southern hemisphere This first-flowering Berenice is a strong growing plant, but has made me wait until it had 6 growths to flower. This year it rewarded me with 2 spikes (4 and 3 flowers). A paler version, but the yellow green is a nice contrast to the...

After searching for years and always end up with hybrids, I was really excited for this one to flower - reputable supplier importing from a well known nursery in Germany, cost a pretty penny etc. - it had to be a spicerianum... That pink pouch was the give away as it was opening yesterday, and...

Flowering has not been great with all the rain we have had this summer, but a couple have pushed through. - P Graham Robertson - Very cupped for about a week, but has flattened out somewhat. - P (purpuratum x fairriaenum) - Sweet but a tad disappointing in terms of sharpness of colour on the DS

I had the same issue - this is P. superbiens (wild) that was imported from an EU supplier. I did see somewhere Paul Phillips posted that these were well know in the EU and are definitely hybrids, maybe P Cymatodes. I think that this looks more like what I would expect from Goultenianum then...
