Excellent flowers on a well grown plant, congrats, Dot! Thanks for showing how these trained stems look like. It makes a great presentation.

Awesome Dot- a beautiful display!


I used your cotton ball tip on a catt that had 2 buds too close and was surprised how it improved the presentation!

dang. you don't have to stake these?
i thought all godfroyae had pendent inflorescences.

As far as I know, godefroyae and all other brachys (except bellatulum) have erect spikes... I have yet to see a godefroyae with a pendent spike.

i could be confused
years ago i spent some time volunteering at an orchid place and i thought their godefroyae all had pendant stalks but they may have been something else or just a strain with weak stalks

In my option most brachys have a weak stem. However, bellatulum is one that at least in my green house has a pendent spike that hangs way down over the pot. When I get an erect self supporting stem in any brachy, I feel it is a rarity and not the norm.

Beautiful leuco! I like them better than regular godefroyae.

Exceptional!

My first bloom of Paph godfroyae! This is the parent of the hybrid Paph Jennifer Stage, developed by my grandfather Harry Stage with Rod McClellan years ago. Now, if I can just find a Paph Jennifer Stage!
