    Paph wilhelminae

    It is my understanding that Paph wilhelminae can bloom on very small growths. Am I correct in my assumption and if so at what leaf span and even how many growths? Anyone here have experience blooming these guys? I ask because I just got home from helping Oceanside Orchids sell at the Amherst...

    I want to join the lycaste club

    Below is lycaste macrobulbon ‘Elizabeth Mansfield’. I purchased it last fall after Elizabeth’s passing. At the time it appeared that each pseudobulb had gotten smaller and smaller under her care.

    Main Street Orchids and Deep Cut Orchid Show

    It was my understanding that Main Street was suppose to be a vendor at the Deep Cut show but I was just told that they just closed down. Does anyone have any further information on this? Went to their website but nothing there, nor are there but 2 plants listed. Seems a little unbelievable to...

    Anyone have a good e-mail for J&L Orchids

    I've been trying to get in touch with J&L Orchids for a couple of weeks now to place a pre-order of something that is not on their site and that needs to be in within a few days. I've tried twice and received no response when using their web site. This really makes no sense as it says on the...

    Has anyone tried using the new soft New Zealand tree fern by Fernwood, either as the only substrate as they suggest or combined with bark mixes? Some where on the net I once say a page that showed this product in different stages of wetness and telling you when you should water it. Can't seem...

    Complex Breeding Knowledge

    I have been looking at the Tokyo Orchids flask list that Paph Paradise is offering. My question is why are they pairing a nice pink or white complex with Paph Hellas 'Westonbert'? What is Hellas bring to the table? They are offering a nice round white or pink crossed onto Hellas. Why?
