I think the first bloom is finished opening. Here are the measurements: - lateral petals 22cm - dorsal 6 cm - ventral 6 cm I'll check again in a couple of days to see if any have changed.

It is Sam's cross. It is also compact for a roth. I'm glad it is growing that way because I am seriously cramped for space.

Paph rothschildianum ('Leo' SM/JOGA x 'New Horizon' FCC/AOS) first blooming

I'm interested in purchasing if it is still available.

Still going strong.

The only problem IMHO with the lights sold at that site is that they are not adjustable/dimmable. You lose quite a bit of flexibility if you cannot adjust your lighting by adjusting the height it is hanging as well as the level of the light the fixture is putting out. You're stuck with the light...

If you want to dial in the best lighting for your orchids in my experience you need two things: 1) An accurate way to measure the light your plants are receivning 2) A light source that provides the best quality light. The best measurement for orchid lighting is to measure PPFD (Photosynthetic...

Thank you for the comments. I've read in a lot of postings on the forum that it can sometimes be challenging to get the plant you think you're getting. I didn't think I would have that problem with Waldors but I wasn't sure. It was quite an expensive purchase so I am relieved to hear that...

So are you saying that my plant is not a Cashen's?

Petal span is 10cm

Phrag Suzanne Decker 'Big Show' (kovachii 'Laura' x Cape Sunset) purchased from Orchids Ltd a couple of years ago. Plant is a beast! Spread of petals is 16.5cm and has three branches off the spike.

Phrag Jason Fischer (besseae 'Aztec Flame' x M.D. Clements 'Red Wing') first time blooming for me. Purchased from Orchids Ltd about a year ago. This plant has two growths with this being the first to spike. The second growth has the beginning of a spike. This plant is an absolute beast! I've...

Here are a couple of pics of the whole plant plus a new pic of the first flower to open with better lighting.

Dr. Leslie. Can you provide some measurements from the FCC award so I can check them against my blooming? This morning I measured the width of the petals at 14cm. Thanks!

I'll take a couple if they are available.

I might like to try that on my catts. How is it prepared? 😂

I purchased a division of Cattleya trianaei 'Cashens' FCC/AOS from Waldor Orchids back in November of 2022. When I repotted early in 2023 it fell apart into two separate clumps. This is the first one to bloom. It has two spikes with the second spike just starting to open after I took this...

I Googled Cattleya quadricolor albescens and all the pics look exactly like my plant. Thanks for the replies.

My Cattleya quadricolor 'Elly' AM/AOS which I purchased from Orchids Limited a couple of years ago. The flowers have started to age so I quickly snapped a couple of pictures. I have a question to pose to the forum. Many photos I have found on the internet show a lot of fuschia or purple in...
