This is one I remember seeing posts about being newly discovered. Hope to find one someday myself in the states. Until then it's lovely seeing people share these blooms. The striping on the petal is striking as is the excessive frilling. :)

thank you all for the direction. :)

Hello, Perhaps I have missed it but is there a list or a thread here of people or companies I can send pods to to have them flasked and possibly germinated? I hear everything has to be ultra sterile and vents or boxes are required and a slue of other things to get them to actuality take and...

Excellent let’s touch base via Messages. I would prefer to wait until it gets a little warmer. I had a plant freeze in the mail recently.

Its already MUCH healthier. Greener leaves, rusty color is reduced and not showing up on unaffected leaves and its putting out a new growth. Lots of lessons learned. I appreciate all the feedback and critiques.

Its GORGEOUS! And yes.

Thus forum is a great place. There is always something to learn and do better.

Oh? it very well could be a poorly cared for plant I and exacerbated it by bring it it to a new environment and after a few weeks pollinating it. It has roots but they are not as healthy or robust as my others. The medium was quite broken down and not healthy looking. I cut the flower off...

To start the leaves have always been super pale but recently those orange patches started popping up. The spots dont appeared after I self pollinated it. Room is 68-70 degrees f and 50-56%rh. Its leaves are about 10inches under a grow light like the rest of my paphs.

Mine from ebay just arrived! Glad to see its siblings are so beautiful.

I am looking for a Paphiopedilum tranlienianum clone that has this super slim reflexed dorsal petal base pic 1. A really curled top like the 2nd photo wold be a nice bonus too.

What a phenomenal bloom. The details are just mind blowing. Thank you for sharing.
