besseae x brasilense?

Very hairy. The throats are yellowish fading to white, and covered with purple hairs. I got it from Orchids Limited...they have a few other warm-tolerant masdies on there too.

Masdevallia Snow Cone, a warm-tolerant hybrid. I can't really take credit for the bloom since I bought it in bud this last week, but I think it's one of my better pictures.

Home: Java. Because of the interesting leaf form this type is very attractive. Small purple and white blooms. The plants are very well suited for glass cases or terrariums and can also be cultivated mounted. A total-year blooming is possible. Strong plants and strong of blooms in 7 cm...

I snuck a peak inside both plants today...and they're both leaves. Still...two new leaves on my only two paphs, can't complain, right?

I vote spicerianum x charlesworthii..."Woessner Spicy Charlie"

well we'll find out soon, because it's growing fast! my other paph has a similar phenomenon. this one is vert 'crystal court' x treasure island 'jack'

I thought the extra empty space was the point of the improvement...better wicking plus more air space yields less chance of rotting roots, especially if you transfer over a plant with a lot of old roots that are "locked into" their old bark-loving ways. But I haven't tried any of the new...

PrimeAgra is similar to aliflor, but not identical. Here's a link to more detailed information: http://www.firstrays.com/PrimeAgra/compare2.htm

well it transilluminates nicely in the mornings, so...yes. it should hurry up and show itself though!!!

There's something going on in my lowii...is it a sheath? a new leaf? something else? I know, I know, I need to be more patient...but in the meantime, I'd like to hear people's thoughts. It is growing, by the way, so I doubt I'll have to wait too too long to find out what it is.

oh I forgot to mention...bring a roll of toilet paper. the stuff they have down there is lacking in quality to say the least (reminded me of chemwipes). and apparently their toilets are very weak, so you're not allowed to flush toilet paper at all. instead, you place it in the little mini...

no no no, not the species that is used in the most hybrids, the most species used in one hybrid. something with 30-40 species in its parentage, that's what I'm asking about...

Just out of curiosity...I know some of the complex hybrids get pretty crazy, but what's the highest number of species that has been used? Just for fun, someone should make one that incorporates as many as possible. It'd probably look like a beast and be infertile and a pain to grow, but I'd...

Peru is a wild place, and scared the hell out of me when I went. That said, I had a great time! The taxis are all on the verge of falling apart at any second, and they drive them like NASCAR. The further from the airport terminal you walk, the cheaper your cab will be--even 100 ft can...

it makes sense that various traits can be differentially inherited from the "mother" and "father," because this certainly occurs in animals, and even people. there are some diseases that can only be passed down from either men or women. this phenomenon is known as genetic imprinting, and the...

I vote that it's concolor x kolo, making it woessner conco-kola. :p

Shadow, perhaps I'm just too laid back, but that little article smacks of snobbery, and nothing else. Sure, I'd like to have nothing but top-quality hybrids, but not at the expense of cool species. Also, some of my favorite plants are my noid flower shop hybrids. Besides, like Matt said...

ugh, you were supposed to be discussing which phrag I should get, not paintball... although speaking of plants that look like paintball victims, my wife thinks we should get a paph bellatulum. thoughts? I hear they can be kinda tricky too...
