    Wanted Oconee 'Mendenhall'

    Like the title says, I'm looking for a division/back prop of this clone. There's very few hybrids I'd like to have. This is one. Life's short, and I'm old, so I'm going to indulge myself.

    Average fc for phrags?

    Well, I give my Cardinale and Sedenii direct sun all morning, until about 1PM in the summer (in the Philadelphia area - latitude matters!). Doesn't seem to burn them, and then they get reasonably bright light in winter, under artificial illumination (but I've never measured intensity).

    Repotting every year?

    Steve is a good grower. And a funny guy. One of the bits of old-timer lore is that Paphs grow best the first year after potting, and flower best the second year. My take-home is that if you want to grow up a plant, repot every year. If you want maximum flowering performance, repot every other...

    General pollination questions

    One of the things that happens is that if the parents are quite different genetically, there are only a few viable genetic combinations, so you don't get a broad spectrum of traits in the offspring. If the parents are quite similar, then most combinations are viable, so you can get a broader...

    Cultural advice for no ID Paph

    Given that it looks so much like a Paph delenatii, I'd try for cool, somewhat dry winters, warmer, wetter summers.

    Hardy Ground Orchid Protocorms

    I'd just either put them on some milled sphagnum moss, or take some unmilled sphagnum, pack it down, and put them on that.

    Wardian case another update

    Check out the ultrasonic fogger from House of Hydro. You can go waaaay overboard with what they offer, as well as find something just right.

    Specklinia endotrachy

    FWIW, Mine grows intermediate, but very moist conditions. It is a weed.

    what % shade cloth do you use

    I use 50%, I think, for my shade "cage". Some paphs (roth types, brachypetalums) get no shade, just full sun from morning to around 1pm. Phrags, too. Philadelphia suburbs.
