    Yang-Ji orchids?

    I had already inform the post owner yesterday that I had made a typo on the garden’s name. It should be Chouyi Orchids Nursery owned by Mr. Tsai (蔡欣君).

    Yang-Ji orchids?

    The top sanderianums in Taiwan is not owned by Yang ji, find Choyyi if you wish to have good sanderianum seedlings. But be careful of his sharp knife that will kill your wallet. Haha!

    papilio-laoticus

    I do have cultivating some for a moment. Of course they come from the nature and they are not that big! I had seen many times fro Taobao china that the plants selling are medium to small in size, one third as compared with the plant shown in photo. I had acquired a few half years ago and the...

    Yang-Ji orchids?

    I do recommend you NOT to place any orders from Yang Ji as he is not a honest man, he is a big cheater!! He is famous in Taiwan and Hong Kong for selling under sized plants to overseas buyers (such as dispatching middle seedlings for a NBS order). I had an extremely painful experience on...

    Paph. randsii

    Yes, that is me. randsii is very difficult to grow, but if you get what they want, they can grow bigger and bigger but still a very slow grower.

    Another round of guess the spike

    The result proofs my profession on growing multi florals🤪. When I had the first glance on the tree, I pretty sure that it is an adductum.

    Paphiopedilum parishii #2

    The flowers are nice but the plant is very weak in my opinion. Cut the spike, reduce the light intensity and feed more fertilizers to save this good tree. A healthy Parishii should be in dark green shiny leaves, at least my Parishiis are like that.

    Paph. randsii

    This is the first bloom for a seedling made by Mr. Tsai of Choiyi. A tiny single growth plant produces 3 flowers. It is always lovely to see a blooming randsii neglecting its flower quality, at least for me.

    Paph. rothschildianum (0288)

    There are huge examples for top quality parents are producing inferior quality flower for their next generation. Don’t care too much above what the parents are. I just have interest to know which crosses has high potential to produce top quality flower and just buy those crosses.

    Paph. rothschildianum (0288)

    I can tell you that if I wish to buy top quality multi floral paphs, in particular for roths, I will not approach Mr. Shen now but the breeders in south of Taiwan. Top quality multi floral paphs are mostly owned by south Taiwan breeder, at least until now. Mr. Shen’s paph is very suitable for...

    Paph. rothschildianum (0288)

    The reason for your observation on using different clone’s name for the same clone in Taiwan is due to when the same clone is divided to different breeder, they will use a specific clone’s name that suit their own need. For example, Mr. Shen always use TN as the beginning for all his clone...

    Paph. rothschildianum (0288)

    I don’t know whether the measurement method of the DS for AOS has aligned with Taiwanese societies or not. Be reminded that Taiwanese society measures the DS from the left most point of the dorsal to the right most point of the dorsal in STRAIGHT LINE, while AOS measures the same by a curve...

    Paph. rothschildianum (0288)

    Your comment is valid so that we need to know the parents before buying. Of course, whether the seller will tell you the truth is a question, in particular for some of those Taiwanese sellers expertise on overseas market. Anyway, buying from a reputable seller for a true rothschildianum will...

    Paph. rothschildianum (0288)

    Thanks for your inputs. I am not saying that you are wrong, but i will assess the awarding standard by using the recent Taiwanese standard, at least for multiforal paphs and up to this moment.
