Are there any explanations as to why this is growing on a stalk? I have had it as a small plant for 4years. During this time growth was ( and still is ) very slow. It is now quite a large plant with a single growth which is in the correct position in the substrate. Never seen this before ----...

First paph I have flowered in three years. This is a very compact plant that last bloomed almost 4 years ago,so compact I can't count the growths. It has three spikes and I think only bloomed because I gave it extra light with 2 Gro-Lux tubes and 2 T5's Ed

A very reliable bloomer. The first of 5 buds to open, last year they all opened at the same time. Ed

Paph Bel Royal ( rothschildianum x philipinense ). Just took this shot at our local show today and this must be one of the largest paphs I've seen. It was bought as a small plant 15years ago and hasn't been re-potted for the past 10 years--- and is on drip irrigation. The gentleman who grew this...

Bought this some months ago when the plant was just marked Phrag. Being a nutter for most phrags I couldn't refuse it. It grew three spikes, one of which I cut off when the buds looked not too good. Anyhow this is the first bloom and i would like to know if anyone from over the pond can identify...

First flowering of this Phrag but should a longifolium have such a huge petal behind the pouch?-- or is this not longifolium? Ed

This is,I think, a very good first flowering . The top bloom just opened yesteday so the petals should get considerably longer over the next few days. Hope you like Ed PS.. I snapped the " danglers " of the right hand one when i caught it in the car boot ooops!!!

The tap water in my region is very soft and slightly acidic. Since starting the continuous watering ( 24hr ) some 6 weeks ago today I had a look at some of the roots of phragmipediums and paphiopedilums. The compost of which some are in a bark mix and others in NZ sphagnum and is absolutely...

Kovachii x Dick Clements. Very pleased with this hybrid. Hope you like Ed

For those who wanted to see my phrag/paph watering system it can be found on my previous thread i.e. les varines. Thanks Ed

Uploaded with ImageShack.us Just keeps getting better and bigger. Using the continual irrigation has worked wonders for my Phrags. At the moment I have nine in spike or bloom. Hope you like. Ed

Uploaded with ImageShack.us Just wondering if it is unusual for one spike of this hybrid to hold 4 blooms? Ed

[IMG]http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/1675/ds It just gets bigger and more colourful the older it gets. It came from EYF 12 months ago. Ed

[URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/691/dsc00357nt.jpg/] First of the buds has just opened and I am very pleased with this hybrid.The petals measure 5" across x 4" top to bottom. Hope you like as much as I do. Ed

Although this was bought some two years ago as Paul Eugene Conroy it looks like a small version of Grande. The only difference I can spot is that in this phrag the petals are green whereas in Grande they are more yellow. Am I right or is this plant not what I thought it was??? Ed
