Like I said in title I’m an amateur photographer and I love photographing my orchids when in bloom.. I’m a Phal freak so the majority of my collection is novelties, (I know, most of you here are not a fan of phals), but I have some other genus too: paphs, cattleya, and maxillaria. Just doing...

I dabble in amateur photography. And have for a long time now… my husband bought me these for our anniversary last weekend. The lily was just buds at that point and two have opened this week. Anyway I thought these were stunning, pristine white waxy blooms. Enjoy! And Merry Christmas to you all

I’m on bud watch, looks as though it may open tomorrow? Hopefully. Colors look striking! The plant is leaning a bit due to my toddler knocking the plant over and disturbed it a bit when the bud was developing… ugh. Anyway I’ll update when it’s open! Unnamed hybrid from Paph Paradise First...

First one with 8 Leaves is Phal. Mainshow Cyborg 2nd one is Phal. Joy Spring Canary ‘Ben Belton’ AM/AOS I purchased these from Mike Mims.. he said to me that Mainshow Cyborg was one of the most vigorous hybrids he’s ever seen and I think he’s right this thing is crazy.. it has a pot full of...

Hi all- I just purchased one of Norman’s Orchids Phal. Bronze Maidens (Norman’s-I know, I know). ( Bronze Maiden is Phal schilleriana x Phal mannii. ) But it was the ONLY vendor I could find one from, there were a few recently listed on Etsy but honestly Norman’s were seed grown and looked...

Hello! I recently came into ownership of this lovely orchid. I got it from someone who’s had it a really long time but they were not sure of where they purchased it or where it originated from. I know that Bill Rogerson was the one that had this cultivar awarded. That’s about as far as I’ve...

Phal. Dragon Tree Paradise- this was a Mothers Day gift from my husband a couple of years ago. Very vigorous plant and reliable bloomer! No name yet Cattleya hybrid from SVO-1st bloom seedling. Phal. Sogo Yenlin ‘Golden Leaves’ in full bloom. This one is very floriferous!

Hi all! I bought a few seedlings that were imported from Taiwan in May from the vendor and then I purchased them. They acclimated for a couple of weeks and I quarantined them away from my collection at home. I repotted about a month ago into a bark/moss mix (Phalaenopsis AAA gold mix...

Hello. My understand from reading around is that a lot of orchid businesses are going out of business at an unprecedented rate. I’m relatively young and I’m very ambitious/driven person. I love the orchid hobby and am considering building a greenhouse but also would love to sell orchid...

Just thought I’d share. This is a first bloomer I got from Sunset Valley Orchids last year. It’s growing great and it’s already has a new lead that put out this sheath with 3 flowers! I’m anxiously awaiting the flower to open! Flower started opening today but it looks really funky 🤨

Anyone have one of these for sale or possible trade? Please pm. Thanks . This is what I’m looking for or similar. Doesn’t matter if blooming size or not.

Hi all! I do have a rather varied collection of orchids that I like but I have a real “thing” for Phalaenopsis. I want to try my hand at breeding on a small “boutique” scale for now and see where that leads me. Looking to buy some really great plants to begin with, I stumbled on Peter Lin’s...

Hi! New here.. just introducing myself. I’m Natalie. I am a hobby grower as of right now, interested in showing and breeding. I just entered one of my Phals in a local show just last month. I’ve been growing orchids for about 3 years now seriously. I only grow on windowsill for now but that will...
