It is a PEOY. The clone’s name is ‘Golden Master’. It was awarded a SM/TPS some years ago. However, the quality I bloom today is even higher as compared with the date of judging, in terms of flower count, size and color.

Those qualities are definitely not at the market front. The improvement of multi floral paphio is too fast in Taiwan in recent years. Today, the acceptable Roths’s size for the first time flower that has potential for breeding is DS more than 6.7 and NS more than 30. However, bear in mind that the DS measurement in Taiwan is different from that of OZ. OZ measures the whole curve length of the dorsal but Taiwan just measure the straight length from the left most point to the right most point of the dorsal.
 
Beautiful and beautifully grown. I was wondering what media they are growing in and whether you might be willing to share any cultural tips.
I grow them only with 2 medias: perlite and fur bark. Since the environment I am growing is wet, the portion of them is 7:3. I water them once per week only and add fertilizer bi-weekly. Moderate to strong sunshine depends on which species. No other special culture methods.

Beautiful flowers of good quality. They bloom in HK sea level temperatures under 80% shade?
 
Very impressive sizes of plants and quality flowers. Will you share your type of water and fertilizer regime? I remember you mentioned every other week application.

I don’t know the type of water as it is supplied by the garden owner. I only apply those orchid fertilizer bought from the market bi-weekly. I focus on N fertilizer for boosting the size of the plant.

So tap water, not RO nor rain. Could be 30-10-10? Typical formula for more N. You mean twice a week? But you only water once a week.

I think it is tap water. Sorry for my typo mistake and I apply fertilizer bi-monthly. The portion of N is 30 but I have to check the value of other components later.
 
Thanks,,,,i can really see how this work really well for you. And you probably don't add any magnesium as your tap water has enough of them. Do you use 1/4 or 1/2 tsp per gallon? Or maybe more as you only apply twice a month.
Thanks
