Paph spicerianum

[Wendy]

Hi all.....after a brief time away I decided to come back. My orchids are doing very well and I have many in bud.

This is Paph spicerianum ‘Gregory’. I was pleasantly surprised to see two buds. It hasn’t bloomed for two years so maybe it’s trying to make up for missing a year. :rollhappy:







And my new growing setup....

Very nice flower! Plants look like they are doing well.

Looks good! Both the new growing setup and the **** - seems to be both a big plant and a quite big flower...and a twofer!

Kind regards,
Jens

A really stunning bloom, I really struggle with this species.

Whats your tips?

 

[Wendy]

It doesn’t get anything really special. Grown outside during the warmer months in a bright spot. In cold months it is in our south facing window. Fine bark, perlite and a little sphagnum moss mixed in and kept relatively moist. I tend to be a dry grower so it stays mostly on the dry side of moist.

The second flower is almost fully open. Photo update soon.

OK that's great mine just me the cultivar that have then just seems exceptionally slow at doing anything.
