Orchid Season 2025

What’s a rough breakdown on those flasks? Are they all multis?

Not to reopen closed wounds but are you sure your flasker isn’t replacing any of your roths with generic Taiwanese crosses he has in his closet? It’s very easy to do accidentally

Lots of multis, a few parvi crosses but most of those did not germinate well, about a dozen Brassia, and a handful of Zygo types and oddball species.

Nice. Also appreciate that you’re doing brassia’s. They are so cool and nobody seems to be doing anything with them

That's exactly why I did it, they were my first orchid love and they've mostly disappeared over the years.

Will be excited for your list when it comes out

Paph Randy Booth opening out in my overflow house. The spike is a bit short and it doesn't seem to want to fully open, but randsii crosses are rare enough that I'll hang on to it and see if it improves. My overflow house is a bit cooler and darker than my main so I think it can do better once I rework my greenhouses.
