    Grammatophyllum scriptum 'Dwarf'

    Grammatophyllum scriptum 'Dwarf' is supposed to be a naturally diminutive form of this otherwise large growing species. I'm posting this because it came up in conversation in another thread, and I realized maybe folks would be interested in seeing it. I've only had this for a year, I got it...

    Cymbidium serratum x Eastern Venus

    Cymbidium serratum x Eastern Venus is a small growing hybrid. I got this one from Tim Culbertson several years ago. I like it but I consider it to be an acquired taste, definitely not a hybrid that I would expect to have mass appeal. The flowers are proportionally large, but only 1 - 3 flowers...

    Cymbidium Valerie Absolanova

    Cymbidium Valerie Absolonova is Cymbidium Golden Elf × Cymbidium Peter Pan. Both parent hybrids are amongst the most famous miniature Cymbidiums, and this hybrid is an excellent pairing. In fact, I would say that Cymbidium Valerie Absolanova is my current favorite Cymbidium hybrid. This is...

    Cymbidium Maureen Carter 'Fragrant Princess'

    Cymbidium Maureen Carter is Cymbidium sinense × Cymbidium Sleeping Beauty This hybrid is right down my alley. I'm a big fan of yellow blooms, and this delivers. I'm also a huge fan of fragrant flowers and this is undeniably wonderful in that respect! I'm also a big fan of primary hybrids as...

    Deuterocohnia brevifolia

    Deuterocohnia brevifolia is a particularly feisty terrestrial bromeliad. This plant has undergone several name changes, a situation that we orchid growers are all too familiar with, but I think this is the current accepted nomenclature. The individual growths stay quite small, and these are...

    Cymbidium Exeter Carnelian (Cymbidium goeringii x Cymbidium Voodoo)

    Cymbidium Exeter Carnelian is (Cymbidium goeringii x Cymbidium Voodoo). I have several of these, but this one was a selected clone from Tim (twculbertson) on E-bay. This is obviously JUST opening up, but I don't know if or when I'll have time to take good photos. The plant has 2 spikes, with 5...

    Pot. New Hybrid (Blc. Guess What 'SVO' AM/AOS x Pot. Dean's Gold 'Dean's Gold' AM/AOS)

    Pot. New Hybrid (Blc. Guess What 'SVO' AM/AOS x Pot. Dean's Gold 'Dean's Gold' AM/AOS) A freebie from SVO last year. Fred tends to throw in a freebie for my AOS "discount" rather than give me an actual discount -- and I'm not complaining! It's probably nothing all that special or award worthy...

    Tolumnia calochila

    I like everything about this species! It's small. The foliage is sort of terete, quite different from most Tolumnias I'm familiar with. The flowers are a lovely yellow color (my favorite). The flower shape is distinctive and unique. It seems to be easy to grow and blooms reliably each year. And...

    Paphiopedilum Joyce Hasegawa 2024 Blooming

    Paphiopedilum Joyce Hasegawa (delenatii x emersonii) This plant hasn't bloomed since 2019 (based on checking the date of my prior post). I suppose I will not see it bloom again, as either it or I will likely be dead before then if the current trend continues. Lovely flower. This came...

    Paphiopedilum Alois Handlbauer

    Paphiopedilum Fanaticum x Paphiopedilum hangianum It came from SVO (Sunset Valley Orchids) a couple of years ago. Flower is 5.5 in / 14 cm natural spread and the foliage is 8.75 in / 22 cm from tip to tip. Overall very good flower to foliage ratio! I wasn't expecting this outcome at all, but I...

    Phalaenopsis zebrina

    This is a cute species that I picked up from Orchids By Hausermann earlier this summer. I like the bold red bars/stripes against the pristine white background. The flowers aren't huge, but they are bigger than I'd expected. I'm not certain of the nomenclature on this, it's my impression that...

    Paphiopedilum Joyce Hasegawa

    Paphiopedilum Joyce Hasegawa (delenatii x emersonii) I purchased this years ago from Jay Pfahl as part of a fundraiser for Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia (IOSPE). It's grown quite well and happily for quite some time and seems to be a much faster grower than most all my other P...

    Phragmipedium Coon Creek

    Phragmipedium equadorense (pearcei) × Phragmipedium lindenii I haven't had much time to post photos of things as of late, but I've been wanting to post this one. I purchased this from Woodstream last year. It's using equadorense, which I believe is technically a form of pearcei making the...

    Phalaenopsis Pylo's Red King

    Phalaenopsis LD's Bear King x Phalaenopsis corningiana I got this from Peter Lin (Big Leaf) last year. I really like the this, I did not expect the flowers to be as large as they are. I also like that this clone isn't completely solid red, which many seem to be based on photos I've seen online...

    Neobenthamia gracilis

    Neobenthamia gracilis I've been told before that this is now considered a Polystachya, but I don't see a lot of references clarifying on that so for now I'm sticking to what the tag says. This is hard to photograph since it's not in a spot where I can move it. It's indoors this time of year...

    Dendrobium Micro Chip

    Dendrobium normanbyense x Dendrobium aberrans I've posted photos of this before, and I'm posting again. It's one of the only Dendrobiums that truly seems to do well for me. It likes moist growing conditions and does not appreciate drying out. Currently this is growing in a plastic pot that's...

    Paphiopedilum concolor

    This was a mix-up from Popow originally purchased as concolor 'Yellow' x hangianum, but obviously it was an accidental selfing. They were very gracious about the mistake. I can't say there's anything terribly special about it, but I figured I'd share. It blooms regularly, multiple times a year...

    Paphiopedilum Shun Fa Golden

    Paphiopedilum hangianum x Paphiopedilum malipoense This is one of the ones that was supposed to be Paph. Memoria Larry Heuer, but turned out to be Shun Fa. I'm not too concerned, as I think Shun Fa is more my taste anyway. This isn't a great award winning flower, but I like it quite a bit...

    Paphiopedilum Norito Hasegawa 'Ruffled Sun Basket'

    Paphiopedilum malipoense x Paphiopedilum armeniacum Oh my god Becky, look at those petals. This came from Happypaphy7. I posted this plant's sibling not too long ago. The sibling took over a year to develop its spike and 2 small flowers. This plant has been a cheetah in comparison. It's taken...

    Paphiopedilum Norito Hasegawa

    Paphiopedilum malipoense x Paphiopedilum armeniacum A gift from Happypaphy7! And much appreciated. This one has taught me quite a bit about patience and luck and patience. This flower spike initiated back at the end of 2017 or very early 2018, I believe. As many of you know, Paph...
