a little something that bloomed this summertime, looks pretty to me ^^ the flower is actually more white than yellow, but i guess it must be the lighting. nonetheless enjoy ^^ c

i have a feeling i might end up killing myself for this one if i can get it to bloom... being offered a bulbophyllum echinolabium. i know this is a stinker, but my Q is--will it be a close proximity stinker or is it a reek havoc and stink up every inch of a huge room kind of stinker?

hey guys, i posted this also in another orchid forum, but i thought that i'd also post it here. i'm looking into bulbos. what are some bulbophyllum species/hybrids that: (1) appear not to have any rhizome; not leggy--the kind the pseudobulbs tend to all clump (eg. bulbo. echiolabium) (2)...

Hsinying Armanda = Magic Lantern x armeniacum I wonder if anyone has a picture of this paph. I just got it yesterday but the flower is slightly wilted, so i'm wonder if i would be able to see a nice picture of a fresh flower to look at while i wait the next round of blooms, thanks

hey guys the SOOS annual show started today and runs until tomorrow. i posted the pics (mainly paphs) up onto my blog http://www.fuuran.blogspot.com. so feel free to browse and leave messages. too many pictures to post multiple times, hope u guys don't mind enjoy and thanks for looking i've...

if wondering if it would be possible to bloom these cool wintering parvis like micranthum and malipoense if: (1) wintered them on a south window (probably around 12*C min) (2) stick them outside once nights are around 5-10*C in the very early spring (3) and then weather them outside all spring...

Hey guys, Ｉ have the temperature drop 24/26*C daytime to 16*C nighttime (which is >10*F). i've added lights to supplement for wintertime darkness--13hrs. water twice a week, fertilize whenever i remember, and i still haven't seen bud =( they are mature plants. any ideas or hints? Thanks

Hey guys, I'm just wondering, anyone here in Toronto or the northern GTA (MArkham/Vaughan/Richmond Hill, etc.) grow these tropical pitcher plants? Particularly the non-Noids from Lowes or HD. I'm thinking of maybe trying a hybrid of easy growers like N. khasiana, N. ventricosa, N. alata...

hey guys i've encountered this phenomenon a couple of times in my phrags especially. when i bought some of my phrags a year or so ago, they would have one or two new leads that were about 2" tall (mature growth is about 20"). but the issue is they would just stop growing dead in its track...

i am just wondering wat are some true miniature paphs species or primary hybrids that are relatively easy to grow. i had no idea that paphs can be sooo small until i saw an appletonianum in flower. in my mind, helenae and barbigerum comes to mind. now appletonianum too.

I just got this guy as a Christmas present for myself. It has 4 growths in total--2 unbloomed. A very beautiful specimen for sure. The leafs are 12" long and the flower is about 3" x 3". The bloom itself is not in its prime for sure, it's been open for about 1.5 months already. Yes... I've...

hmmm... coming from toronto itz hard to get enough light in the wintertime; especially in the gloomy winters... so, im considering a move to lights - the spacing (adjustable) between the top and bottom of shelf is 20" (i prefer this height b/c i can fit my phrag giganteum) - i am thinking about...

I cannot take full credit for bringing it into bloom since I bought it when it was spiking already, but I think the previous owner damaged the spike when it was developing so it only produced two flowers. Nonetheless, I hope I can bring it into bloom again soon. It is extremely fragrant--it...

i'm wondering how you would grow this particular cross. right now it is in a very open bark mix and i water it pretty much 2-3x a week. should i be sitting this in water (like primary x longifolium) or should it be drier (like primary x caudatum)? i hear a mix of culture for x besseae; some...

wondering if anyone here has a picture of this besseae x wallisii hybrid. thanks

i saw this cross in a local vendor's catalog. I am wondering would it be... (1) an easy grower for a bulbo novice (2) does it smell? (im growing it in my bedroom with all the other orchids, u know wat i mean...) (3) how big does it get (4) would be a compact or a leggy-type of bulbo...

hey guys i just got a beautiful two-pseudobulb division of this cute plant; the flowers just withered away yesterday. the AOS judges at my society tell me that they are the easiest bulbophyllum for beginners to grow and they they bloom easily too they said that windowsill will be fine and that...

Hi guys, i just ordered one of these from Cloud's and will be picking it up on the 1st of June. So i thought i'd also ask the experts around here for a extra few tips. i am fully aware that it is going to be a giant and its spike is going to be crazy--i've seen your pictures Dot--and i am...

i bought this baby in bud about half a month ago and she's finally bloomed. first blooming on this plant; she has 3 buds and this is the first to open. when i measured the petal while i took the pics, it was about 9". today when i measured while fertilizing, its about 11.5". the measurements...

hmm, my phrag giganteum is in bug and going to have itz first bloom soon. currently i count 3 buds. one is starting to develop the colours and the soon are to follow the problem is it is developing some mold in the pot (i use clear ones so i can see it). i use leca but with no reservoir. last...
