I got Orchis (Galearis) wardii. For culture, I could only find that it with Cyp. flavum together occurs. So I treat them now. (calcareous, clayey, permeable hardly humus, winter dry and cold about 8°C) Seems to be a very mykotrophe orchid. Have any of you read about the culture? greetings Bernd

Yes, it is. In the conservatory, I'm in the summer daytime ventilation despite high temperatures (up to 28 °) and a sharp drop at night (18 °). In winter, during the day as 15 ° and 10 ° at night Bernd

Although I do not live in the U.S., but in Germany, post here yet. this is my PRIVATE own opinion, but did with Gerd Kohl and Erich Mayer talked about it in detail. I had the plants at least 5 years with no problems. I have unfortunately lost the plants at mienem move about 7 years ago. It was...

Coelogyne corymbosa ... my "skunk" smell very strong, not as enjoyable for me as described in the Internet (the scent of coconut in the nitida I prefer). Flowers at the moment in time. The specimens from India will be without fragrance. greetings Bernd
