Phragmipedium caudatum 1st image
The Cat is beautiful. It could persuade me to break my Paph only rule.
I love the way caudatum buds look. One of my favorite bud-appearances. (Tho the bug-leg look of roths unfolding is pretty cool, too)
Second image paph is still growing. Brassavola has 2 spikes: one with 4 and another with 5 flowers
Wow, those are all absolutely beautiful. The first is an angraecum? How large does it get? and does it require substantially different culture than paphiopedilum? And would you know the name of the beautiful white cattleya? It is really spectacular.
Angraecum Leonis and it stays quite small compared to others: 4in pot. I water it just like my paphiopedilums and it seems to do good. Sometimes it needs more water and you will know when the fleshy leaves start to wrinkle. The smell is strong and kinda spicy, I like it. It just grows in small park and has thinner roots.
The white cattleya is, C. dolls f. alba. It has a lemmon sent. If you want the seller of the plant I could let you know
What a picture with those lush tropicals in front of snow covered limbs. I just did a little digging around on the internet for both of those plants, but if you have a supplier you would recommend I would love to hear about them. I told myself to stick with paphiopedilums until I got them figured out, but I can feel that resolve weakening. And I just got a lot of new grow space under lights so perhaps a little experimentation is in order.
Hahaha
I love it. You pick paphiopedilum to figure out and are some of the fussyest: sounds like me. It is rewarding having other plants that bloom more frequently and are easier. It evens out the long wait for some of these paphs. The sell i found on Instagram and IS THE BEST SELLER ever in my opption. He does not do paphs but has great plants and a lot of connections. His instagram is below.
Thank you! I will look him up.
Cattleya purpurata is going crazy with the roots. From krull smith and is putting up a new growth as soon as the old one stopped maturing: very vigorous.
Psychopsis orchid ready to bloom. This spike has been developing close to a year and is about 3 feet tall. I have been so impatient for this one as it has been blooming size for about 4 years
.
this is a roth from orchid inn and is built a little different from the rest of the roths i got from here. I am excited this could be a good one.

Wow! Look at those roots! I think those are almost as exciting as blooms. Have you grown Psychopsis before? I have one that was gifted to me. I had it probably six years before it bloomed for the first time this fall. Mine has produced five flowers so far. I would love to see a picture of yours when it is fully open. They make us wait so long!
I have been hesitating to ask this because it belies my age and ignorance but here goes....How does one go about ordering from vendors who don't have a web store but are only on Instagram or Facebook or....Do you just message them out of the blue and ask what is available?
