These plants are absolutely jaw dropping, as well as yours!!! Impressive growing and kudos to your local society!!! Some of my favorites are that c. amethystoglossa, all those large lycastes, the bulbophyllums, and that large cymbidium! Oh man, there's so much to compliment on!

I received this cattleya marilyn lew from Ecuagenera USA today. I was hesitant to get it because it has mixed reviews, but this plant looks quite healthy, with a new growth, healthy roots, and plump bulbs. I only got this because the flower looks like a miniature dowiana, to replace the true...

I had a green valley x dou fang bloom last year, and it was quite nice.

Would physan 20 work to treat it? The physan website has a treatment for orchids with rot, such as erwinia. It states to "remove compost from plant, then soak entire plant 10 minutes or more. Cut away all rot with treated tool. Soak plant wounds again for 10 minutes. Repot in physan 20 soaked...

Actually, I think that has helped because the area I have been keeping it in at the moment has a fan near it keeping good air circulation for other plants. It probably has been a little too cool for it and I have moved it to a much warmer area, and I will be keeping it more dry for the time...

I have 2 dowiana seedlings, and unfortunately have discovered one of them seems to have black rot. The other seedling is okay. One growth has turned brown/black and spread to the leaf which has fallen off. The red circle in the picture shows affected part. It doesnt seem to have affected the...

My coelogyne unchained melody is now mostly in full bloom, 8 flowers on first spike, 7 buds/flowers on the second spike. They have a sweet/musky odor that is very strong in the morning and faint at night. The fragrance is odd, first smells sweet then a little stinky. The flowers go well with the...

Thank you, it does look like they will have buds because they are fat little things coming up than the other smaller growth.

There was a little too much soil on the bulbs so I removed some to expose the bulbs on the surface, and they looked quite healthy, green and plump. Also thanks for the reply. Now I'm excited for the possibility of flower buds!

I have a pleione orchid that has 3 new growths, one is tiny and the other 2 are bigger fatter growths. Will the 2 big growths possibly bloom? Hopefully I will see buds poking out soon.

Thank you, I will try that!

I've had this micranthum and gloria naugle for a year now, but they don't seem to be doing anything except making several new growths and growing leaves. The micranthum had a sheath when I got it, but I guess I put it in a spot that was too warm, and it blasted. It has been happily making new...

I just noticed that my cycnodes wine delight has pushed out a little green nub at the base. It already bloomed from the same bulb in October. I'm not sure if it's a 2nd spike, or a new growth? Should it be watered some more because of the spike? If it's a new growth then I won't water it until...

My paphiopedilum armeni white has fully opened and it's breathtaking! I'm happy it has a second bud on the way. I wish it had some influence of delenatii fragrance. The Blc. Momilani rainbow 'the gypsy' is very colorful and fragrant! The smell reminds me of fresh peony blooms. No wonder it's...

WOW, a meter high?! I can't imagine putting a cattleya that tall in my grow space😅o_O

Yes, different gene pools and color variation, oh, it's just so confusing, but it's fun trying to see similarities!!:p

Yes, they are about the same size. Maybe they are the same, it just has large color and flower form difference. It could be that amethystoglossa just dominated the cross on the left and that's why it looks so like it.

Anyone know why there is so much variation between these two cattleyas? They're the exact same cross. To me it seems like the left one is a pure amethystoglossa and is mislabeled, which is a nice surprise. The right has more influence of peckaviensis in it. The one on the left has a very nice...

It's starting to push out to reveal a nice thick spike! The bracts are starting to show up as well.

Yours is just as nice!
