First time bloomer. Sorry for the bad lighting, had no time to get a better shot. It has a very nice yellow colour that is even more intense in reality. It is quite a big plant already: +- 90cm/ 36in LS. This one is for sale (I'm a species guy ;) ), PM if interested.

Hi guys! Some of you probably remember this thread Rick published in 2010 with a very nice vinicolored sanderianum: I remember beeing a little jealous and impressed by the color, as I have never seen something quite like that before. I started contacting people around the world (some of them...

One of my anitums is currently in bloom. The flowers are bigger than the ones of my other plants. One of the adductums is in bud too. All culture questions are welcome. Ligt from the front and from the back:

Hi everyone! I am new to cyp sowing. I have done alot of paph so far, but I don´t think that I should use the P6668 for cypripedium too, right? What are you guys using? Thanks in advance!

It all began with the MSU fertilizer: Many of you guys have had good results with urea firtilizers. And I did not with my MSU that I tested for two years. The previous fertilizer from a local orchid nursery was much better actually. Root growth was ok, but no new growths and yellowish colour of...

Does someone of you run his/her cleanbench with a H13 Hepa-filter? Does it deliver acceptable results or ist it a must to have H14? Thx

Hi everyone! My irapeanums are growing pretty well, two stems just withered but one is still growing. I think the other two stems (same plant/ base) withered but the plant itself is still ok.
