I am just starting out if any one could recommend some good species that would be nice and thank you in advanced

 

[Paphiolitho88]

My first species was Paphiopedilum delenatii (I only have Paph species, no Phrags unfortunately) . It is quite an easy grower for me. Paph spicerianum is also quite easy to grow an flower.

Okay thanks also why no phrags

 

[SlipperFan]

One of the easiest Phrag. species is pearcei. It is also a very cute flower and a great parent to many hybrids.

 

[Slipper lover]

What color is the Pearci and how do you care for it

 

[Slipper lover]

Also I really like green varietys of phapiopedilum orchids do you know of any good green colored phaps

I have about 900 orchids of many genera, and I recommend them all.

 

[Slipper lover]

Well of course but which are easy to grow

 

[SlipperFan]

Easiest to grow are Phal hybrids.

 

[Slipper lover]

Yes but I'm talking phaps and phrags

 

[SlipperFan]

I find that what is easy for one person to grow is difficult for another. Know your conditions and do some research (slipper orchids.info, phragweb.info, etc.) and give some a try. That's the only way you'll know for sure what you can grow.
