Hello all This is my select fairrieanum that has just bloomed with 3 very large flowers and a very dark and red veined dorsal, I think it's a 4N type, sadly I have only photos taken with flash, in daylight the red color is more clear and beautyful

Hello...The pale leaves on canhii is because its an old growth, and thus has become Pale in process, the view I have photographer is maybe not the best, but there is the pale old growth and the on with flower and two new growths on the way...Its relatively easy to grow, though canhii is not so...

This is my rungsuriyanum and 1 canhii all growing in grodan cubes that suits them excellent, keeping them moist and letting them dry out a bit between waterings, 4 rungsuriyanum whereas 3 is in but, I am so excited, the canhii bloomed a few weeks ago😇🙏

Popow is not available at the moment and has not been since his fathers death😔

Could it be javanicum maybe? 😇

This is one I got from Popow in Germany back in 2020, a little cute leucochilum album that I unfortunately lost last year in an invasion of both mealybugs and mites where I sadly lost a number of fine species due to bad advice regarding media to fight it, luckily I have got some new fine species...

A very nice insigne var sanderae indeed, I have myself been visiting the lovely Island Madeira in the Atlantic Ocean several times, and almost everywhere there are Paphiopedilum insigne plants in flower shops and on the market, in various sizes, this Island seated in the Gulf Stream is a small...

Thanks Guldal, I hate to be on unfriendly terms with anyone 🙂 and if you should be at your facebook profile sometime, please write to me, we both live on a small country so maybe we see each other sometime, my real name/facebook name is Ole Hamilton Poulsen, I have also my artpages on Facebook...

Oups...It wasn' t to start a fight Guldal, I just asked a simple question but if you know Hans so well, I guess you are familiar with the story of christiansenii which so correctly are told above by Ozpaph, it was certainly not to step on someones toes and certainly not yours, sorry😇 I have...

Guldal, if you are such a good friend of Hans Christiansen and he is your "mentor " do you then know the story about this species/type...I have known him since 1972 so I do, just was curious 😇

Sad story, similar to some of my own sad stories about Orchids that died, especially vietnamense, it can be a tough cookie to deal with, I have had a number of them too, with varying success, this one looked very nice Guldal, and I can see that you grow in Greenmix too😉my success rate has...

Another view from beautyful Madeira 😇

This is a view from Madeira 😇

It sounds like a cool place to live, almost like Madeira, the portuguese Island in the Atlantic ocean, that has subtropical climate, this is a paradise for growing Orchids with its mild climate All Year round, especially for slipper Orchids, the species Paphiopedilum insigne is growing...
