    Paphiopedilum tranlienianum 'Ree-Yees' AM/AOS

    Amazing! How long does your bloom last usually? I have one that bloom every year but my flowers don't last more than 7-10 days. Most likely due to warm and humid weather. Again! Congratulation

    What are the Cattleya I can grow in the Amazon

    Many thanks for all your inputs! So the selection would lean toward violacea, lawrenceana, eldorado and wallisii (also lutea). Exept for violacea and lawrenceana, the last 3 species are, I believe, pretty rare in culture no? Cheers, Math
