This is the first of my Cochlopetalums which is flowering this year and it's the first time flowering of this plant. The year is still 'young' and maybe there will be others flowering this year, too. We will see. The photos is a single shot with a wide focus area and the aperture is 13...

Cattleya trianae 'flamea' I obtained this plant in August 2022 directly from Ecuagenera Ecuador and it came to me 'bare roots' via Ecuagenera Europe in Germany. The colouration of the flower is intense and lovely ... hopefully the form will improve slightly after the plant will be fully...

The 'starters' of the year are both reliable bloomer and are flowering again within the span of less than one year. Paph. gratrixianum var. christensonianum is a very strong plant and a big clump .... the ladybird on top of one of the two flowers is the icing on the cake for me. Paph...

The year 2024 starts with Paph philippinense var. compactum f. aureoviride which is flowering for the second time in my collection. First time was in January 2022. The size of all parts of this variety is smaller compared with a normals P. philippinense.

The year starts with a surprise ... the Paph wardii 'Dark Warrior' wich was I expeting to flower .... was a mislabeled plant and came out as Paph. venustum. Sh** and mistakes may happen and happen.....But there wasn't much diappointment because I like P. venustum a lot and the situation is as it...

This year was the first complete growing season for this pant on my window sill and she's flowering again with 2 flowers. Unfortunately the flowers opened while I was away for some time so one of them leaned with the petal at the window pane. Nevertheless I think there is a slightly improvement...

I've grown this plant for many years now and she is a reliable annual bloomer. She's always the last one of my three Catasetums/Clowesia which is flowering.

I bought this plant as a half matured one in August 2021 and now I can see the first flower. I think the tag says the truth. I didn't expect a flower because the bulb grew and matured without any shead ... but then to my surprise emerged a bud at the top of the bulb.

I always wanted a pure P. amabilis or P. sanderiana because I like these two species due to there pure white or delicate rosa flowers a lot. Not many nurseries offer these species for sale .... but since early spring this year I posses P. sanderiana and now she's flowering for the very first...

Two years ago I bought a young plant of Cattleya labiata which is now flowering for the first time. What shall I say I'm really surprised by her beauty. She has not only an intense colouration but also a quite good shape .... not to forget then intense sweet scent. I don't dare to talk about the...

.....to put my Clowesia russeliana in a good position to take some reasonable photos which show these lovely flowers on pendulous flower spikes in the right way. You can see here, how I was able to do it this year.

This is a very special plant to me because I've grown this present of another orchis lover meanwhile for almost 40 years now. She was tiny when I got it and grow up to that sightly size now. She moved house with me two times and adaps to every growing area/conditions. She flowers like clockwork...

Paph. thaianum flowers regularly and perceived she flowers half time of the whole year with at least one flower. I took this photo almost 6 weeks ago(03.27.) and this flower is still fresh and alive whereas the next spike has developed and the bud needs only short time until she will open...

Although so far this is the only one of my Cochlopetalums which is in flower I'm optimistic that she won't be the only one in flower for this year. Hopefully ! Paphiopedilum victoriae-mariae : I like this species a lot and I wanted at any rate posess one. Now the plant flowers for the first time...

This is the first flower of this plant and I like it very much. After flowering few plants in the last few months, which were 'cuckoo's eggs', this means they weren't what was written on the tag, this time everything seems to be o.k. I took two photos with different backgrounds, a dark one and a...

First one in flower is Paphiopedilum acmodontum : (@ Leslie .... in the end you beat me more than one week with your plant)

No orchid at all but nonetheless an extravagant and imposing plant by its flowers as well as by its scent. The hight of the flowers measured from the surface of the potting medium is between 80 and 120 cm.

I bought this plant as Paph. barbatum but now when she's flowering for the first time I'm not completely sure of it's identidy. The warts on the petals and the stance of the petals make me doubt. Furthermore there are too many pictures of true and false Paph. barbatum in the net. What do you...

I bought this plant labeled as cattley mossiae var. coerulea but now when she's flowering the flowers don't look like var. coerulea but like var. semialba. I like them a lot and am not angry when it's var. semialba but would be lucky, if some other Catt. guys or ladies here could confirm this.

Paph. tranlienianum This is the first one of this section in flower in 2023. Bought is as a young plant in an eBay auction from Hilmar (Jens, i hope you didn't bid in this auction). I took the photo one day too early, because the undulatad edges of the dorsal aren't completely developed...but...
