thank you for the description, we will try this next time! and from now on, if it doesn't work we can just blame you!!! perfect :)

dang, i need to get me a copy of this manual! :). thanks for the description, we will try this next time...

ha! well, good photographers can do both! its enough effort for me to focus stack the flower (imperfectly, to boot), and my computer hates me already. in the future i want to do more exposure blending, but for now you will just have to imagine what the leaves look like!!! :)

hey katzen, yes, we would like to get there and not have to destroy the flowers. how can you see if you got the pollen in the right spot? is it just by feel and experience? thanks!

well, as a shameless plug (i hope its ok on here), and to update this thaianum thread, it bloomed with like only 2 leaves this year...i guess that's good? here is the screenshot of the vid on our channel if wanna see it get the pouch chopped off :) if some of you gurus would care to check it...

ahh, the devil's always in the details i suppose! also these plants that Wichmann has (where we got it and what is shown on their site) has this frill to the petals which i don't see on other examples. also, these seem t express more yellow than others, especially in the pouch and staminode...

hahah, do people actually care about the foliage?! just kidding :) well, the leaves are quite dark and I didn't feel like trying to blend shots to show it. if I metered for the foliage then the flower is super blown out and overexposed, so I chose the flower instead!

im curious if anyone has had petals that form/grow weird as a result of having directional light on the plant when it is in bud? I think this waving flower is because I turned the plant slightly before opening and the light was coming strongly from one side. but, let us know if you think that...

for comparison and your viewing pleasure. finally opened up after like 6 months in low bud! slow and steady wins the race, I guess :). grown in semi-hydro

hello s.t. folks, just wondering if anyone has suggestions on flaskers in europe. preferably the mainland (or e.u.). we have had luck finding one and they have been providing good feedback, but just curious and hope to avoid the "all eggs in one basket" scenario. so, any suggestions, hive...

yeah, it seems like the tracking and naming of orchids is...lets say...unregulated.

sure, here is a pic of it (not great, sorry) but that shows it fully open and the swept petals. interesting flower!

yeah it did spread out a lot after the photo, and the petals swept back a LOT! sort of the sweep we were hoping to see on a hennisianum. thank you! it is always a struggle for me to get good pics of white flowers.... yup, I thought the same myself, but the label it came with ids it as var...

first time blooming this one, and pretty happy with it! thanks for checking it out

ok, here is a screencapture then of the upcoming vid! will be public tomorrow...but you guys get a sneak peak of the whole plant :) thaianum in front left with comparison to micranthum
