Yes, compared to other species, it's certainly not the most eye-catching one, but it is still quite fascinating from a botanical standpoint. It reminds me of Phragmipedium lindenii, although lindenii has a mico-slipper instead of an elongated petal.

Browsing the web, I found this exciting set of publications from 2014 and 2015, respectively. One describes the new specie Selenipedium chironianum, a slipperless orchid specie from Guyana. Then the following publication proposes to move the specie into a new genus, Apedium, within the subfamily...

Sorry for the long wait. Here I attach the pages depicting the mysterious Cypripedium taibaiense. In this book Cypripedium singchii and subtropicum are treated as separate species, I do not believe that they are distinct though.

As the winter months approach, eBay starts to fill up with suspicious Cypripedium listings from accounts that are only a few months old listing novelty species. I want to point out that I did not buy from this seller. Therefore I do not know if the other listings on his profile are legit. The...

Amazing results indeed! Unfortunately being in Europe and in a country with up to 30% import taxes buying from the US gets way too expensive for me, that's why I was looking to build them myself, I usually work with microcontrollers and some high-power projects so the electronic side wouldn't be...

Here is a picture of the two units, I will also call the manufacturer to ask for spectral info.

Ok I'll check with the manufacturer then! Between the two which one you think makes more sense with Paphs and Phrags?

Hello everyone! I am in the process of creating a small shelf to house my Paphs and Phrags. However, I'm not sure if the lights that I have available are any good for them. I have settled for one of two models of LED lights. They are regular LED panels used for general-purpose lighting. The...
