oooo~ how exciting!! I love blooming out hybrids. Each one seems like a big surprise! Good luck on yours!! :)

I have had great success with delenatii. I always think to myself why can't other parvi species behave like delenatii?!! fast to clump and easy to flower. To answer your very first question, the ones I grew all started new growths either while in bloom or shortly after the flower faded. I grew...

I think it's mostly just armeniacum and micranthum that produce runners actively. I have had malipoense that had a runner, but I doubt that's the main way they grow. I had a few LK and none of mine ever had runners. Nearly all the Fanaticum I had grew runners. How to best accomodate plants...

Hopefully it will bloom out nicely for you! Is it a species or a hybrid?

HCM for sure, but not vietnamense. At least I have only heard 3-4 weeks as their average flower life span. My biggest concern for vietnamense has always been the droopy petals. So I am pleasantly surprised by my very first vietnamense flower.

Very nice!! If I ever end up living in warm dry climate like Spain, I'd love to try this one again. One needs to be very careful around this plant. I once almost lost my eyes to the leaves and I'm not kidding! lol

Isn't it Ho Chi Minh that's known for very short-lived flower life span? Btw, it is about to drop off as of today. The photo is already a few days old. Golden Palace is still going strong. I'm quite happy with the size and the shape on both. Golden Palace opened up completely flat and light...

I think cooperi deserves its solo space 😁

Initial uploads were all small and I tried to redo everything but it failed for some reason. Here I am, three huge inserts and three tiny photos. My old phone gave me such a hard time doing this. I'm not going to redo it, again. Sorry, guys! So the names starting with the very top on in the...

A first time blooming vietnamense & Golden Palace (Mem. Larry Heuer x armeniacum) on their 4th week in bloom & armeniacum in double buds!! The photos of armeniacum is taken in two weeks intervals with the second one being already one week old. The spikes are much longer & the buds larger. I’m...

Catasetums are from the summer and Cycnoches from October this year. The last one is a current bloom filling up the room every day which makes me happy!! 😍

I heard stonei is very slow but wow~

Thank you.

Awesome!! Congrats!! :) Great photos of beautifully bloomed lowii and roth! How many backups do you have of this historic roth? I miss having lowii. Maybe next year

Or it just isn't a stable true semi-alba. The blushing could be random with or without environmental cues affecting it. I don't see how Kelp has anything to do with flower colors? Or it has mutated to this color. Based on the plant size, I assume that this is your very first time blooming this...

Thank you! I bought Mormodes rolfeana (yellow flower form) from a Peruflora at Dresden Show last month. Bare root leafless plant but looks like it is starting a spike. Has your Catasetum pileatum ever made female flowers for you? Do you have it under artificial light?

Well, there's no such thing as 100% 😜 and based on your reply, I may as well be off. 😁

So there's a chance, then.

What mystery? lol jackii album.

I love this species. Colorful and elegant sptance!! One of the ones I would love to have once I start to increase my collection again.
