Purchased from Elite orchids in the UK a couple of years ago, but bred by InCharm. It's pretty yellow at the moment, but I expect it to go whiter and increase in size a bit. I'm really pleased with it.

This is one of my own hybrids, im happy with the shape and colour. Bloomed less than two years out of flask

I have just received from Ecuagenera a phrag Grande and a phrag Haley Decker. Any cultural tips would be greatly appreciated. I do fine with bessea hybrids but I have minimal experience with Kovachii hybrids and my Paul Eugene conroy which is similar to Grande isn't doing much.

This is comfortably the best Roth I have ever bloomed. To me, it has everything, size, colour, flower count (for a first bloom with 4). I'm not sure of the pedigree as I just bought it as a 'Roth', based on the leaves. I liked how symmetrical they were, a perfect fan shape. I can only assume the...

As a kid when I first got into Orchids, everything I read said that Cattleyas were hot growing plants that needed full sun. As I mostly grow Odonts I didn't think that Cattleyas could grow with them, however, as I liked them so much I still bought a few and they grow really, really well, even in...

This is a seedling Roth, growing under lights, in the same mix as my others, mostly bark with some perlite and limestone chips. The seedling is slow growing, compared to my other Roths, but has put out a new root which has reached the bottom of the pot and I can see a new leaf emerging. The...

This is my own breeding. I have a lot of paphs and phrags, but mostly grow odonts. I registered the cross last year, it is St.Clements x Jim Mintsiveris.

Purchased this from Ratcliffe orchids around 12 years ago as a single growth. I have divided it multiple times since. It's a great grower with big flowers. I grow this cold, out with the Odonts.

I have this on a couple of my paphs, most notably P. HOUGHTONIAE, I have just noticed it on the older leaves of a new growth on my P.Rothschildianum x Lowii. It doesn't seem to do the plants any harm, just curious if anyone knows what it is and any tips to prevent it.

This plant has bloomed twice, for some reason the petals were longer on the first flowering when I lived in a flat ~95 cm, the 2nd time only around 60cm (in the greenhouse). Should flower again in around 2 years I reckon, the new growth is just maturing.

This plant came from Orchid Web around ten years ago. This is the third time it has flowered, 4 blooms previously, this time 5. As not many have been awarded I thought about putting it to the RHS orchid committee for judging. Is this good enough?

This paph won 3 rosettes at the Glasgow orchid show last April. It was a 1st bloom seedling I purchased from Orchid inn a couple of years ago. What are people's thoughts on it.

These are; P. Armeniacum (basket), P. Micranthum, P. Malipoense and P. Armeniacum x Delenatii. All are in bud, growing in my cold greenhouse which is mostly for my Odontoglossum collection, goes down to around 10C, a couple of times it has dipped below 9 C but they seem to be happy. If the...

Hello all, based on the current growth rate, when do people think I can expect this plant to flower. The cross is P. Rothschildianum (King Kong x Sandy). The images are from June 2021, 2022 and 2023. It seems to be growing fairly quickly, but could it be doing better? I have no idea the size of...
