Looks like one of NYEric's photos!

Indeed, it does! The only other person, apart from Eric, I've seen cooking Paphs on the stove!

Wonderful and instructive thread, Anthony (or do you prefer Tony?)! Please, keep us posted!

 

[NYEric]

Tony, are you transplanting these to the wild in your area?

He is insane. I can vouch for that.

 

[tnyr5]

Wait, why are you on slippertalk? Begone, pest!

I will grow them in pots. I have suitable habitat for many species on the family property, but this is not one of them.

 

[NYEric]

OK. Keep up the good work.

Nice! Those aren't too far off from flowering size

do you take humidity, soil and pH info where you find the plants?

Usually, yes, along with sun position/ direction the slope is facing, if any, and a note of what trees they're growing under, but it's tough to say if the ones that germinate in flask are going to want exactly the same conditions as the parents.

If they're spiking in flask, then I'm sure they are saying something like, "screw what mom and pops had back home, I wanna stay in this warm, nutrient rich sauna!"
