I don't care what any judge would say. That is a nice plant.

A friend grows this species in New Orleans, so it can stand warmer temps as well.

Hi Naoki! Tin and John (the owners) are friends of mine, so I am lucky to have them so close by. I go and get the grand tour every few months because what's new changes that often. I like to call them the "mini Andy's" because they're collection is so diverse. I don't currently grow in a...

I'm not sure which greenhouse this one was grown in over at LOC, but the original Phal. area is fairly shady. That half of the GH is west facing but a large building blocks the afternoon sun from reaching that end for the most part. The newer greenhouses likely get a bit more sun, but I'd say...

Rick, the only unID'ed Bulbo. I've had was this "sp. Rusty" that I described in Chris's new greenhouse thread. Here's a picture of it: This particular plant didn't come from Chris, but he did have it from the same source. The only plants I think I've ever received from Chris were Bulbo...

Hmm are you sure this is one I sent you?

Rick/Chris, The one to which you are referring is Bulbophyllum sp. PNG and was given a nickname/identifier "Rusty". My only information on this plant is that a single division was collected by Walter Teague, and this one never really made it into cultivation. Teague maintained it until his...

Chris, if Ray doesn't have it any more, look into Spyra from Folius Enterprises.

John, do you have any idea what the fern species is growing alongside this besseae? It's very nice and looks like it could be an Elaphoglossum species (ie not a typical greenhouse weed)

It's really a shame the state of the orchid industry today. I had been ordering from Oak Hill since I was ~12 years old and finally got to meet Greg and Liese when they began vending at our New Orleans show. I got to be pretty good friends with them, and they would bring my brother and I orchid...

Could this range of populations potentially represent a ring species situation where schlimii and what is being called the "true" manzurii are actually distinct species (maybe these populations are too far away from one another for direct gene flow), but there is a ring of populations connecting...

Mites (and other small insects) are able to breathe when submerged or covered in water because they are normally surrounded by a small pocket of air suitable for sustaining them while they're submerged. When soap is added to water, it breaks the surface tension and essentially eliminates the air...

I grew C. geminigibbus for three years (successfully put them in and brought them out of dormancy) consecutively back when I was in high school. I was never able to bloom them, and eventually the plant fizzled out. In hindsight, I don't think I provided nearly enough light, and that likely led...

I've never been a huge grower of Paphs., but that henryanum forma christae is really something special.

They're South American armored catfish related to the "suckerfish" or "algae eaters" you see commonly in fish stores.

Dot, I haven't commented on this thread until now, but I must say that this entire structure is beautiful. Most conventional greenhouse can be unsightly from the outside and are strictly utilitarian. In yours, both the building and its contents are very nice!

I hope this is ok to post coming from another forum...this link is one of a few discussions there from real Angraecoid nuts on the proper IDs of this group. In my opinion, the one pictured at the start of this thread is didieri, but who really knows??

Hi all, I recently deflasked some seedlings of Dendrophylax lindenii and fawcettii. I have a few extras available for sale/trade. I'm asking $12/seedling or will trade for select Neotropical species. I'm fairly open on the trades as long as they're species, so PM me with an offer. Here's...

The last one looks like a Maxillaria (or whatever genus the huge Max.'s have been moved to).

Peter, if you don't mind providing some cultural tips, I'd appreciate it! I've always had an interest in these (and Lycastes), but I've always been hesitant to try them due to our temps in LA. Thanks!
