Well, it wasn't at the time. oke:

The award is from 1983.

Wow, those are very nice plants. Never thought of Brachys as hard to grow plants really. In general, do you guys find them harder to grow than parvis?

 

[smartie2000]

yes brachy paphs are easier to rot than parvi paphs for me

 

[labskaus]

That's a nice and extremely well grown plant, very enjoyable!

Thanks a lot for posting Dicks set-up. I'm looking for a way to treat my Brachys separately within the GH and that bench gave me a good idea of how to do it.

 

[tomkalina]

This is one of our favorite brachys and seldom seen, although quite popular in the 80's and 90's. Here's one we acquired when we bought Birchwood Orchids from the Clement's estate.

Thanks!

Can't get much rounder than that, Tom!

 

[paphioboy]

wow... That setup is great!! And so many blooming plants at once...

 

[paphioboy]

IMHO, the plant the very first post is not a straight niveum.. niveum has a light sprinkling of tiny pink/purple speckles, not that heavy patterning, which is characteristic of godefroyae or x angthong (= Greyi)..

Wow!

Brachy Case Update - May 2010

Since this thread was recently revived, I thought folks might enjoy seeing a couple photos from this year (2010). While it is nearly the exact same time of year as the previous photos in this thread, there a few different things in bloom.

The topic paph shown in the first post of this thread is located second from left on the lower shelf. It took a little bit of a rest after last year's performance.

Of note - the smaller paph on the extreme left of the lower shelf is another labeled as Paph. niveum var. ang thong that I received in 1987 in a shipment from Supchadiwong. The three flowers have much shorter and weaker stems than the 'Maybrook' cultivar next door, however the flowers are quite similar even though they are a bit smaller.

Wow, a lot of beauties!!!! Jean

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

What a proud dad you must be! Impressive doesn't begin to describe your accomplishment.

 

[paphioboy]

Nice.. Are they growing in rockwool..?

 

[Scott Ware]

Nope - no rockwool. Just a simple bark/charcoal/perlite mix with crushed oyster shell top dressing.

 

[SlipperFan]

OK, I'm jealous.
