I was doing some plant maintenance and decided to take some pictures.
Nothing new here. But always nice to see an update on plants and some

Well, your name is already on it for a division. Don't forget that I also have an Apollo for you. But I'll grow that one 1-2 years. It's been a slow grower.

Well, a division of your Paph. Conkoloco would be nice Or if you ever get your hands on a Phrag. anguloi, I'd be interested in buying one

 

[NYEric]

OK. I will check to see what is divisible and on the anguloi.

 

[Silvan]

gee thanks Eric! I was partially kidding. I like giving orchids without trading with anything.

Mem Brent Nelson is just incredible!...

Beautiful group!

Interesting flower variation on your Suzanne Decker. Or is one just older than the other?

The flower I'm holding started to open yesterday. It's 13cm NS and the other one has been open for a few days now with a NS of 14cm. So, I guess the "smaller" one will grow some more and look like the other one.

well, I find it too crowded.. kidding!!! The flowers also lasts for a very long time.

I second.

I did a search of Mem. Brent Nelson on ST, and it's interesting to see how the color saturation has improved on your plant Silvan from past blooming. And of course it's holding multiple blooms. How many spikes?

If I remember corectly it bloomed during the summer last year. So, I suppose that the low temps right now helps making the colours POP!
Five flowers on a single spike.

I agree that the Brent Nelson is a terrific Phrag --- never heard of one in this part of the world.
Lovely show of great blooms,

Ed

Thanks Ed. The cross was made by a fellow Canadian slippertalker : Phrag_guy (Russell).
So it was in limited quantities.

 

[abax]

Well, the sight of all those lovely Phrags. certainly cheered
up my dreary winter day. Thank you.

REALLY Beautiful group! Looks like the viet has a new growth? The flowering growth is either on its way out or a little pale. They can be difficult but I am having better luck with them these days.
