My Brachies in 2022

[GuRu]

First one which flowers is Paph. niveum fma. album. I've grown this plant for many years now, at least more than ten and bought it from Popow sen. In all these years it has been a reliable, almost annual bloomer and I showed photos here several times.

To be continued as soon as more will be in flower.

Wonderful start! Bring on the brachies!

Lovely! This is the pollen parent of my niveum babies in lab? Daddy!

By now the next ones of my Brachies opened their flowers.
Paph concolor



The next one is one of the most frequently pictured Paphs in my collection because she flowers reliable once per year over many years.
Paph. godefroyae fma. album


To be continued.

.............What is your potting medium , looks so redish ?

Werner, it's a mix of inorganic components and I wrote about it already before. More text and two photos you will find in post #6 of this thread .

 

[Murray F]

[Ozpaph]

Rudolf, thank you , I did not know the villosum-thread, great advice.
Most of the Thai nurseries are using pure inorganic media, too.
Expanded clay is often a part of it.

Excellent flowers!
I thought inorganic media makes a lot of since…doesn’t break down!

Paph. concolor and Paph. godefroyae var. are still flowering and the next two Brachies opened their flowers.
Paph. concolor var. longipetalum (Syn. Paph. josianae)

KEW Science as well as O. Gruß confirm the old name Paph. concolor var. longipetalum as valid and name Paph. josianae as synonym.

Paph. thaianum

This little gem flowers like clockwork (flower of last year 2021) and the plant grows really vigorously. I like it very much.

Paph. concolor var. longipetalum is on my wish list.

Beautiful! I love brachies. I wish I could grow them as well as you do.

 

[HairBear73]

Wonderful group, I’m green with envy

 

[GuRu]

Next one of my Brachies in flower is Paph. godefroyae fma. leucochilum.....this time a real leucochilum. Like all of my Brachies a reliable annual bloomer.

Amazing display! I can't choose a special fave, but will have to go for the whole bunch. Keep up the good work, Rudolf!
