Paph Collection 8/20

[Ernesto]

Just wanted to share my grow space and orchid collection.

Lovely... very nice and orderly! What's 'the big one' in the back in the upper growth area?
Kind regards, Jens

Thanks! It’s a division of Paph. Temptation ‘Penns Creek’ AM/AOS. My biggest plant so far.

Just found a flower photo of it on Woodstream Orchids' site...understandable if that Temptation was difficult to resist! Looking forward to see your division in bloom!

I picked it up from Bill in person! I’m super fortunate that he lives about 1.5 hours away from my workplace. It was a fun after work excursion I can’t wait to see it bloom.

Very awesome.

 

[NYEric]

Looking well grown. Thanks for sharing.

Fortunate... or dangerously challenged? Depends on the perspective!!!

You have a great set-up!

 

[Guldal]

Your flowering plant I assume is Roth x something (delenatii....or...)? Just curious and definately not a good spotter, when it comes to the dark realm of hybrids!

Roth x thaianum— one of them is my profile picture currently. in the back is another Roth x brachy hybrid.

Roth x thaianum

Now that's an interesting cross...a little bit like pairing a Grand Danois with a Chihuahua! *GG*

Are those flasks in the tank?

Are those flasks in the tank?

They are! I’ve got thaianum, leucochilum, niveum, rothschildianum, and philippinense flasks going right now (from Sam Tsui) and a complex white paph flask (acquired today! From a fellow hobbyist).

What light are you using?

 

[Pinebark]

Thanks for sharing.

 

[Ernesto]

What light are you using?

The top shelf has Sansi 70W LED grow lights. The bottom is a mix of Barrina 6500K LED garage lights (I had some extras from my fish setup) + Barrina 4000K LED grow lights.

Just got Twinstar for fish tank. What aquarium plants are you growing with Barrina?

Nothing fancy, just guppy grass, java moss, frogbit...and duckweed
