    P. Alex's Spots

    It has four flowers on the spike, now all open simultaneously. I'm happy to send you pollen if you want to make the cross.

    P. Alex's Spots

    Thanks everyone. Does anyone in Aus want some pollen? I only ask for a flask or two in return. I think it's pretty good for a first flowering. The label says the parents are P. kolopakingii var album 'Fast Company' x P. lowii var alba 'Albino Beauty' CHM/AOS. Sorry, I can't confirm who made...

    P. Alex's Spots

    Hi all. I've not had much in the way of flowers for a while due to a young collection, but now some are starting to reach flowering size. This Alex's Spots has both parents being alba versions (kolopakingii x lowii). I love it!!

    Most preferred Paphiopedilum medium

    I've played with bark and CHC over the years and found CHC to be far superior because it doesn't break down. I wouldn't touch bark now. I got problems with the CHC as well as it can settle in the pot and reduce the air to water ratio so much that roots can die off. A couple of years ago I took...

    P. philippinense

    Thanks, Tyrone. I intend to do quite a bit of breeding one day (when I have the space). It looks as though I will need to put quite a bit of thought into planning how to go about researching the genes that control colour. If they are separate genes I would need to first find out the degree of...

    Paph. glaucophyllum

    Another vote for the left. I love the pouch colour.

    paphiopedilum henryanum

    Lovely! Definitely on my wish-list.

    P. philippinense

    Thanks John, that explains a lot. If the parents were true albums they could only pass on that allele as they would be homozygous recessive. I'm not particularly disappointed, I thought I'd hit it lucky finding an album as a first phil. I got it from Ivan, I think. I bought lots of seedlings...

    Gorgeous! I hope my little seedling gives me flowers as lovely as that one day.

    My lowii cross

    I got it from Ivan a couple of years ago. I have an weakness for anything with lowii in it. I have wanted Julius for years and years, I finally saw a division at the Vic Int Orchid Fair a few months ago and got it. It promptly threw up a new spike.

    My lowii cross

    Another first flowering. This is lowii x primulinum var purp. I was in two minds when I saw this seedling for sale, I adore lowii but dislike the petals on cochlopetalums and their hybrids. I'm really pleased with this, it has all the best traits. The inflorescence is tall and straight so the...

    First flowering of my first ever phil flower. The label says it's an alba sib cross. I don't think so! A question. Is the alba colouration a recessive allele? If so, with both parents being albas the offspring could only inherit this trait. Logically this is a mislabelled flask/ seedling.

    Paph John Jack album

    Lovely! Thirteen months is quite an achievement.
