    P. lynniae

    This photo is the rarely seen P. lynniae, named after Lynn Wellenstein of An Tec Orchids, who very generously sent me two sib-selfed seedlings three years ago. I think this is a beautiful flower and I am very grateful for her gift. Lynn and her husband Bob also lent me the photos of the...

    Which paphs need calcium, and how much does each species need?

    I'm curious to learn the correct amounts to be supplied for each species of Paphiopedilum, and whether plant size or root mass makes any difference in the amount or concentration. I also would like to learn which paph hybrids need supplemental calcium, as well as the amounts and concentrations.
