    Unknown new growth on Dendrobium Victoria Reginae

    I have another question about the new growth! In the last couple days we have found 2 more! One on the same pseudo bulb and another on an older bulb. So, can they all grow into full pseudo bulbs or will the plant put it’s energy into just one??

    Hmmm …Someone screwed up when they tagged it! Well, I am clueless what hybrid it is!

    Unknown new growth on Dendrobium Victoria Reginae

    Hmmm, should I build up the media so it can set roots?? I would love to give it all the support it needs to grow strong and produce more blooms! It currently has 4 pseudo bulbs, all hail and healthy!

    What have I been up to?

    Well, had some issues which has caused mobility issues so lots of Physiotherapy! Doing much better! Still have 3 Phrags that insist they can survive MN summers without air conditioning! I have been collecting Phals, for some reason, I totally fail to keep miniature Phal’s alive, though standard...

    Unknown new growth on Dendrobium Victoria Reginae

    My Dendrobium has started a new growth…at the bottom of the newest pseudo pod. It “looks” like a new root for a phalenopsis, but we are talking Dendrobium with thin white roots. It has flowered already in May-Jun and winter is arriving in a couple of months…is this the start of a new pseudo...

    Cattleya purpurata

    Ah but I wish I lived in a climate where most of my orchids could live outside, mounted on trees or inside a screened pool area! If wishes were fishes! I could do cold loving Cyps like the state flower of MN would grow here easily in a shaded Easterly location. (I am in central MN.) Now if I...

    The right care for Phragmipedium kovachii?

    I have had Kovachii primary hybrids that have melted in MN summer heat. I lack air conditioning so it is always a bit of an issue!

    Rats come in out of the rain

    About Rats, they actually are omnivores. Have been known to kill Chickens around here…just an FYI, not to mention the damage to buildings etc! I had a rat infestation, took 2 years to live trap and kill them all, and $3,000 to repair the damage to my Breezeway (where they chose to nest and live)...

    Phrag. kovachii ‘Laura’

    Being a window sill grower with only fans to cool things, I have a difficult time keeping my Phrags cool enough in the summer! I always regret that I haven’t the courage to try Kovachii! I lost 2 Kovachii primary hybrids due to heat so far!
