    Paph sanderianum 'Jungle Magic'

    Thanks very much for the backstory! Did any of the jungle collected plants bloom with meter-long petals? Or has that been achieved through line breeding?

    Do you happen to remember what year the mistake flasks were sold and what year the PEOYs started blooming?

    Paph sanderianum 'Jungle Magic'

    These flowers aren't in question as far as I'm concerned. But I'm happy to say we just disagree.

    Paph sanderianum 'Jungle Magic'

    I'm an indoor grower, so it gets whatever temp I feel comfortable at. It does get 65-75% humidity at all times in my growing cabinet. 12 hours of light year round. Gonna have to disagree here on any doubt about it being pure species. Any white line seen on the underside of the leaves is an...

    Paph sanderianum 'Jungle Magic'

    I've had this plant in my collection for 10 years and this is its first normal blooming for me. It spiked about 5 years ago, but the flowers were deformed. The flower petals are about 18" long. This one is pre -CITES wild collected. I got a division from Chuck Acker before he stopped growing...

    Phrag besseae 'Mega' x self

    I have but 5 left, and 1 is growing weird. The first one that bloomed is in spike so maybe that'll be nice and strong on its second growth. We got 4" of snow. Barely an inconvenience. It's gonna be around a while as cold warnings keep popping up on my phone. I thought it was Mega x Zephyrus...

    Phrag besseae 'Mega' x self

    Got a flask of these from Sam when they were available several years ago. Insects (mites, maybe?) killed half before I realized they were even there. This is the second to bloom. I'll get a photo in better light if it's ever warm again in the DC area. Stephen

    In all your visits to Columbia, have you seen a population that all look like what we call Phrag fischeri?

    Sold Free compots - Phrag Green Hornet x fischeri

    Doesn't have one yet. Dunno how big these seedlings will get before they bloom.

    Phrag fischeri

    I really like this little guy. Its staminodal shield is missing, as is not uncommon for this species. I expect it will self pollinate as it did last blooming. I'll let one pod grow and send the seeds for flasking if it gets that far. --Stephen
