This one blooms like clockwork. My other two prefer to sit there laughing at me.

Amazing! Do you grow this one cool?

I have one growing environment - an orchid cabinet inside my house. So it gets Maryland home temperatures. About 60-68 in the winter and 70-78 in the summer. In between in the spring and fall.

Got a flask of 6 plantlets from Hengduan at the 2014 Paph Forum. 3 still survive. 1 other is just as healthy a plant, but has never bloomed. The last isn't as vigorous and has only bloomed once. But it had a great flower so I maintain hope for its future.

looks really healthy

Well done! A vigorous plant!

If you're interested I have pollen saved from my AM tigrinum.

Thanks, but I don't think I'll try breeding tigrinum. They're supposed to be really touchy in flask. I think Hengduan had developed some special multiple-replate method.

I sent seed off to the lab two years ago and they're still marked as waiting for germination.

Nice! Have to put on my list for Wenqing this fall. Thank you!

Excellent. My first one is in Orchid Heaven, so the plan for my recently aqiured second one is "Don't kill it."
