New Acquisition from Phelps Farm Orchids

[suzyquec]

I called Paul at Phelps Farm several weeks ago with regards to buying a Paph. philippinense. But of course slippers are an addiction and I purchased 4 in the long run. A Paph Poulsbo (kolopakingii x praestans) in spike and its huge! A Paph Devayani (druryi x philippinense), a Paph philippinense and a Phrag Albopurpureum (Dominianum x schlimii). As you can see in the photos below they are all beautiful healthy plants and Paul could not be a nicer vendor to work with. For me its great to have slippers that do not need air conditioning!

Now do you see the photos?

 

[suzyquec]

Weird I see the photos, but I know what the issue is, I moved them into an album so the links were bad.

 

[NYEric]

OK now. Thanks for sharing.

Troy for me in south Florida having vendors like Paul at Phelps and Thanh at Springwater to talk with is great. The weather is so hot and humid that its nice to know what I can grow outside and not worry about, especially slippers.

Whats your current temps there?

 

[Justin]

Nice!

 

[suzyquec]

High 80's and 60% humidity.

 

[troy]

Thats where I'm at with culture

 

[suzyquec]

Not too bad now just wait for August when it will be in the 90's and 85% humidity.

 

[NYEric]

Outside!? You better have lots of shade!

Hey FL, you got it nice right now. Temps. in the mid-90s and damn close to 100% humidity. One can cut the air
with a knife around here.
