tigrinum

[Ayreon]

I did it, I did it :drool: :drool: :drool:
After two failures I finally managed to get it in bloom. It's one slooooooow paph. Not the best shaped tigrinum I have seen, but what the hell, I'm satisfied anyway

Congratulations are in order of all the paphs out there this is the one I apreciate the most. I hope to have one in my collection someday but so far I'm not counting on it.

The only dealer in Europe that sell this species has them listed for more then 100,- euros. And as a humble beginner that's a bit to high for me. First I have to succeed in blooming a lot of the paphs I have by myself.

Thanks for sharing.

Actually something I read here on the forum. Once you see the bud, deep down in the leafs, keep it dry until it takes off.

That's a price I would consider to spend on a trigrinum. Is this the nursery in Nalinnes that Jean mentions in this topic?

Awwww. ity:

Nice tigrinum. I hope mine will one day be as nice.

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

In my experience, tigrinum blasts the first few times it buds...then becomes a reliable bloomer. But it does develop slowly!

Congratulations on blooming this one!!!!

The price depends on how many years you will wait for the first flower.

You can ask Popow ( http://www.popow-orchids.com ) if he has an adult one.

Thanks for the input, good to know there is more then one breeder in europe that sells this wonderfull species.
