    Paph Season 2024

    Starting the new year with a goofy platyphyllum 'Super Clone' × self. If you followed my thread last year you may remember the batch of plants tagged as Hilo Black Eagle that turned out to be Hilo Bald Eagle. I have a second grex (or do I? The tags say so) of Hilo Black Eagle spiking this...

    Brassia Datacosa 'Coos Bay' AM/AOS

    Copied from my Paph Season thread, it deserves its own spotlight: I sent it up to judging today and 30 years after it sparked my passion for orchids I have it awarded in my name. I received an 82 point AM, the original award was 80. I was hoping for 84-86 points which would make that push to...

    Unknown Pleurothallid

    I got stuck with this and a few other Pleurothallid scraps at a society meeting last year and figured they wouldn't put up with my greenhouse for long but they all have done surprisingly well. This is the first to bloom and I don't have the foggiest idea of what it is lol

    Sold FREE Sander's Parish and dianthum

    These plants hate life here, I've had them four years and it has been nothing but struggle and setback. If you have a knack for parishii/dianthum and want to try your hand at rehabbing them they are yours for the cost of shipping. They will ship bareroot (if they have roots) to minimize the...

    Paph Season 2023

    Off to an early start this year, adding lights to the greenhouse seems to have worked wonders. Normally a March bloomer, Wössner Black Wings 'Bitis Botanical' AM/AOS is almost fully open. This was my first awarded plant, unfortunately the first bud blasted, I lost quite a few buds when I had to...

    How much improvement is likely in roths future bloom?

    My first bloom roths are starting to open and I'm starting to consider what is worth keeping and what isn't. This one has two major flaws in my eyes, narrow sepals and droopy petals. Are either likely to improve enough to make it worth several more years of taking up bench space or would it be...

    Saint Swithin

    I don't grow many philippinense crosses but this one earns it's bench space. If I can get 5+ flowers on it in the future I'll take it to judging.

    Staking/presentation advice needed

    I'm still learning the finer points of staking and grooming a plant for judging after so many years of just letting them do what they want. I'm trying to figure out why so many of my spikes develop a sharp kink as they grow, it cost me points on my awarded WBW and I would really like to figure...

    Is there such a thing as overuse of probiotics?

    I know that excess kelp can lead to deformities, but are there any benefits or drawbacks to more frequent use of Inocucor or similar products? Setting aside cost as a factor, is there any particular reason why once monthly is the recommended application? Intuitively it seems to me that there...

    Christmas in February

    Unpacking a box from Orchid Inn might be better than presents from Santa. I had to take advantage of the Paph Forum discount and decided to give my roths collection a boost. As always the plants are beautifully grown and way bigger than I expected.
