Paph. fairrieanum

[luvsorchids]

I got this plant for my birthday in January from Theresa at Hillsview Gardens. The plant was in bloom with 2 flowers at that time. She is blooming again now, but the good news is 2 more buds coming :clap:. Love fairrieanum :smitten:.

Well done!:clap: Even with several generations of "captive breeding", Paph fairrieanum is still a tough species to grow and bloom for me.

That's a beauty Susan!!!! Jean

(maybe mine will bloom one day!? )

 

[SlipperKing]

Wow, seems early for fairries. I wonder if Theresa ever sold any of the plants from the AQ awarded group?

I agree!
Even some of its hybrids are tough for me

That is my thought too, but my album fairrie is in bud as well. I think they must be confused this year.

Theresa did have the AQ group available for sale when I was there, but price was a bit steep for me at the time. I'm not a breeder, just wanted a nice plant to enjoy and I think I got it . These flowers are not quite as nice this year, but I repotted the plant a few months ago to allow for it to grow and get ready to bloom this winter. Instead, it started spiking right after being repotted . Oh well, I take what I can get.

Good deal! I'll do the same, I take what I can get.

Super fairries! They look like they are taking a curtsy.

 

[emydura]

Nice. I find these tough as well. My plant seems to be really going backwards.

My fairries and f hybrids are doing OK, I just find that the foliage is generally weak compared to parvis! THose are nice, can you post a photo of the whole plant please.
