The first flower came out much lighter in color and with twisted petals.

Hi everyone - this is an unknown Phrag that I have had for approximately a year now. It’s potted in a mix of bark, small leca, and some tree fern fiber. I repotted sometime in August and the root growth was great. I noticed this odd yellowing sometime in November and thought it may have been...

Do you know if its already being offered for sale in the U.S. or was it just recently brought over and is now being bred by various nurseries?

Thanks! This one has not been listed on their website. I was fortunate in that Emerald City Orchids regularly visits Ecuagenera in Ecuador and brings back a good number of plants. They are usually happy to take requests and apparently convinced Ecuagenera to part with this beauty; I believe it’s...

The plant is about 33cm (13”) tall from base to the top of the flower. The leaf span is 35.5cm (14”) wide.

This is a first bloom on a new Phrag hybrid from Ecuagenera. I believe it’s supposed to be Phrag. Yelva Myre x kovachiI. The color is nice - I hope the next bloom has better form.

Thank you for the advice. I appreciate you presenting the wardian case as an option as it was not something I looked greatly into. I do wish I had the space for a deli fridge as I did see a used one for sale for pretty cheap! Also congratulations on your AOS membership anniversary!

@big923cattleya & @Djthomp28 thank you both for sharing your advice with joining the AOS. I will certainly look into membership - the magazine database sounds very enticing. For the time being, I already have a beverage fridge on hand hence my interest. I also do not believe I could...

@Djthomp28 i would greatly appreciate any resource you can share! I have not joined the AOS yet. I did consider it for a time but realized their was no judging center anywhere near me and I wasn’t sure there was anything else I would use the membership for.

I am specifically looking to use a wine cooler for cool growing orchids such as some pleurothalids. I grow plenty of intermediate-warm growers throughout my apartment but for about a month the temperature in the apartment will average 85-95 even with an AC unit so I would need a wine cooler or...

Hi all, I did some searching on the forums and noticed a couple of mentions by folks about converting a wine/beverage cooler into a terrarium for cool growing orchids. I was wondering if anyone could share their experience with the process? In particular, how do y’all do the wiring? Is it...

Hi everyone — this is not my image but someone in one of my Vietnamese Paph Facebook groups posted this photo. I have never seen this variety of micranthum before and am curious if anyone is familiar with a micranthum like this? Disclaimer: Photo and plant is not mine. This was originally...

Thank you for the idea! I talked to him today and showed him a picture of the villosum on the paphparadise website and he said it looked similar but it was dark red almost purple all over the pouch and that the top petal was flat/wider. I will try to ask my relatives if anyone can find a...

Hi Everyone, I just received this orchid from a relatively well known eBay seller and it has some brown spots on its leaves. I’m not sure if this is sun damage or perhaps water was left on the leaf for an extended time? Does anyone have any idea if this is just cosmetic or is it something more...

I did a forum search and I guess we are in the same city!
