your guys' feedback is great! i thought to myself this flower did not look quite like my other niveums and it's comforting to hear confirmation of my suspicions. i've not seen ruffled petals in any of my other niveums.

picked up this little cutie from exotic plant company.

it's proportions are a little wonky but i still love it. it's ridiculously tiny! 😊

clever! love it!

still waiting on thaianum. bellatulum fma album decided to bloom while i wait. greyi and s. gratix have been partying it up in the background.

this will be my 1st ever thaianum bloom. i‘ve managed to kill 3 of 7 with only 1 living long enough to bloom so this is a big deal for me. 🥳

I still consider myself a total noob so take my 2¢ with a grain of salt but I've battled root rot in the past and no longer have any problems with it causing decline in my collection since I added a ridiculous number of fans to keep the air circulating in my little office cubby. I believe it was...

oh i ❤️❤️❤️ this! especially the bright green veins of the staminode in contrast to the pouch.

Thoroughly convinced my paphs are cold and calculating. I work hard all year 'round to keep them alive and happy then the moment I decide I need to get out of the house is when they go into "let's crank out those buds!" mode. 🤣 This happened a couple years back with my white complexes. Luckily...

just found this thread today. what an awesome story! thank you for sharing. beautiful bloom too!

I got a response from the owner at The Orchid Fix as well. Thanks for all your help ST! 🥳 Also worth mentioning, it sounds like mother nature has dealt The Orchid Fix a serious blow so I would expect delays for anyone else waiting for an order or correspondence from them.

I got a hold of the folks at Orchid Dynasty! Yay! 🥳

I just want to say this is by no way me trying to crucify any vendors out there. There are too few and far between. I absolutely understand that my name/email has an unfortunate tendency to end up in the spam folder of many so I really really really appreciate the help and support offered up by...

Thank you so much!

Added a really old and crappy web cam to the orchid automation arsenal! Helps me keep an eye on humidity tray water levels until I get floats put in place. My husband also picked up a bunch of BT temp/humidity sensors and hooked them up to our HA dashboard, but I went ahead and commendeered all...

i have ordered plants all winter long and have had no problems with reaching vendors and receiving shipment. i also have no problem with vendors not wanting to ship during the winter, but a confirmation they got the order and/or will hold shipment is all i ask. of course now that i'm scrambling...

I have been trying to reach a couple of orchid vendors about unshipped purchases for a few weeks now with no reply. I also don't have FB or Insta. Feeling really extra super crappy about having to reach out via Paypal dispute just to get a response. One order was a pre-order purchase made back...

spotting is all over the place. dorsal is super saturated with spots but the petals didn't get the memo. i have another s gratix (not yet bloomed) that's supposed to have black breeding so hopefully that one will have a more even coloration. at least i know i'm doing something right in my...

i love it regardless! did the color deepen? i feel like the pouch and petals picked up more red.

I’m waiting for this bud to start talking and demanding a sacrifice. 🤣
