Stunning Rudolf. Flowering the big three multi-floral species in one year makes this a great year for you.

How was the petal length on your sanderianum?

 

[Ozpaph]

well done with a stonei and sandie!

I always enjoy pictures of Polyanthas because I don't have room for them.

Indeed David, I'm very pleased. I measured the petal lenght but didn't record it. But if I remenber correctly, the lenght was between 70 and 72 cm. I took a foto of the complete flowers, unfortunately it isn't good enough to show it here, sorry.

Gorgeous! How long have you grown the sandie? Is it a first time blooming?

 

[Mark Karayannis]

Kind regards,
Jens, Cph.

Beautiful! Are you still growing everything in the mix of Seramis and crushed Hydroleca balls as you used to?

Indeed, they still are growing in that mix and it works fine with the majority of my Paphis. But to be honest - it isn't a panacea.

Sorry, but with all 3 plants I don't have names of the parentage.

Yes, I grow mainly in Seramis and agree it works better for some than others, although decent for most.

Cheers,

When you speak about the Seramis mix is it the commercial "Bark Seramis" mix ?

No it isn't that one. It's just the common 'Seramis'.
On the one hand this mix wasn't traded when I was in search for an alternative mix and on the other hand I wanted a inert mix without any organic component which would help me to avoid repotting because of decayed potting medium.
