Purchased from Elite orchids in the UK a couple of years ago, but bred by InCharm. It's pretty yellow at the moment, but I expect it to go whiter and increase in size a bit. I'm really pleased with it.

A really nice bloom, and very healthy looking plant.

Thank you

This is one of my own hybrids, im happy with the shape and colour. Bloomed less than two years out of flask

Excellent, well grown. One of my favourite species.

more blooms open. The first bloom did get wider as some on here thought, finished up at 27 cm and the Dorsal is 6 cm

Thank you for this. I grow my besseas and hybrids with my Odonts, cold and wet, in rockwool, not sitting in water but watered regularly with rain water. I had the Paul eugene conroy in my house with my paphs, but the tips of the leaves were going brown, so I moved it out to the greenhouse too...

I have just received from Ecuagenera a phrag Grande and a phrag Haley Decker. Any cultural tips would be greatly appreciated. I do fine with bessea hybrids but I have minimal experience with Kovachii hybrids and my Paul Eugene conroy which is similar to Grande isn't doing much.

Thank you for the above Roth. I potted it up into the current pot when I got it back in December. The current pot is much larger than the one it was in (see pics). I potted it in bark and added some limestone chips. I bought some urea after it being suggested in this forum previously. The urea...

Does anyone have any tips on how to encourage multiple new growths? I regularly use seaweed extract, as I read it is a growth stimulant, I find this is great for encouraging new roots, but can't say for certain it influences the number of new growths. Generally I get two new growths, but not...

I also have this cross from Elite, but all the ones they had were small seedlings. It looks like it could be a great cross.

This was my initial thought too.

It came from Elite orchids, ( UK based nursery) I hope it does continue to open s bit, it's about 26 cm wide at the moment, but the base of the petals is very deep, around 2 cm, so could go a bit wider without looking out of proportion I think.

It's about 6 cm wide.

This is comfortably the best Roth I have ever bloomed. To me, it has everything, size, colour, flower count (for a first bloom with 4). I'm not sure of the pedigree as I just bought it as a 'Roth', based on the leaves. I liked how symmetrical they were, a perfect fan shape. I can only assume the...

As a kid when I first got into Orchids, everything I read said that Cattleyas were hot growing plants that needed full sun. As I mostly grow Odonts I didn't think that Cattleyas could grow with them, however, as I liked them so much I still bought a few and they grow really, really well, even in...

I think 3 flowers on a single growth plant is pretty good, quite often i only get two, I like the strong markings also. Thanks for posting pics, gives me a good idea of what to expect from mine.

Excellent flower, I hope to get more Paph Paradise Roths in the future, just logistically getting them in the UK is hard. I grow my phrags in rockwool, but never considered it for paphs. What benefits and potential drawbacks are there to growing paphs, particularly roths in rockwool?

Hello, no I mean the title plant of the thread, the Tarantula, Roth cross.

Hello, has this plant flowered yet? If so do you have any pictures? I have this cross from Orchid inn too, and would be keen to see how it looks, also pics of the plant if possible, to give me an idea of plant size.
