Hi everyone, This will be a number of posts to list everything. I'm sure I missed some plants that I'll add later. I took a new job in February and have been considering significantly downsizing my collection ever since then as the new job has me much busier and has made my collection more of...

Third flower isn't open yet, but I think it is close enough that it is safe to not jinx it...I've already knocked on wood just to be safe... I had a really hard time capturing these flowers accurately on my phone camera, so I hope to have a friend with real cameras try to get some pictures once...

Here is my Phrag warscewiczianum 'Windy Hill' x China Dragon 'Windy Hill' AM/AOS. I'm not sure if the hybrid is registered yet or not--I do not see a registered hybrid with the exact same parents but Marilyn registered Phrag humboldtii x China Dragon as Phrag Trojan Treasure this past May and I...

Here's my 2016 blooming of my Toni Semple. It isn't quite as nice as last year as my whole collection has been a little neglected the past two months due to work. But still has 5 good size flowers on a giant spike. I let the spike go completely natural this year and it kept the flowers from...

Here is my Shun Fa Golden that just finished blooming. I have been insanely busy and was always hoping to get some better pictures of this flower but now that it has dropped I figured I would share the decent pictures that I did manage to capture. It was already a little past its prime in...

I got this plant from last year's Slippertalk auction and now it is open enough I don't think I have to worry about jinxing it! It is definitely still growing as the petals had added at least a couple of cm when I looked at it this morning. I'll have a friend take some good pictures once it...

I just got back from a business trip and a flower I had been impatiently awaiting had fully opened. This is paph (anitum x philippinense) x rothschildianum that I snagged off ebay a couple weeks ago. Sorry for the bad pics, I'm just thrilled how it turned out and wanted to share. I'll try to...

Here is my Paph Shin Yi Omar (Saint Swithin 'Wallula' x William Ambler 'Dark Horse' AM/AOS) I posted a preview of this in my philippinense thread and even though only the second flower is beginning to open I figured I would get other people's opinions on it. Being perfectly honest with...

My biggest philippinense is blooming after skipping last year. I was hoping that at least one if not two more growths were going to throw a spike this year also but so far it is looking like it'll just be this one. Should put on quite a show next year hopefully. Not the best pictures--I'm...

Ok, so here is the situation. I have a great looking quickly growing spike on a paph philippinense. I give it about a 60% chance that two other growths are throwing up spikes as well but they're a little too low right now to be able to tell for sure. Here is a quick phone picture I took today...

I snagged this plant for an unbelievably good price a couple weeks ago. For what I paid, I couldn't be happier! Not the best pictures but I didn't have the time nor a good enough camera to snap some better shots. With flash: Without flash:

when my friend took pictures of my Toni Semple, he also took pictures of two of my besseae flavum from the Orchid Zone. Unfortunately they didn't come out quite as good as the Toni Semple pictures but they are certainly better than the ones I have taken where they either look radioactive or...

Here is my Toni Semple. I really like this plant but it has been such a tease! It's sheath started in March and now it is finally in bloom. I got a new background to experiment with pictures but they didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. So I'll have to play around some more or have...

I have four various kovachii hybrid flasks arriving in the next week from Peruflora which will be my first phrag flasks. I know that the general advice is to keep small seedlings warm--but is that true for kovachii hybrids that generally like cooler conditions? My grow area rarely goes much...

Here is my recently acquired Fritz Schomburg from Orchid Zone: It is a little more vibrant than the picture shows and has nice size at 12.5cm ns. And here are some friends: Bottom is Olaf Gruss and then my new division of besseae flavum. I'll definitely post more (and hopefully...

My caudatum(s) from Orchid Zone are now flowering. I am really happy with the two plants and while I have a distinct favorite among the two, I am glad that the two plants actually turned out fairly different. I'll hopefully have a friend come take better pictures while the flowers are still in...

I got four new phrags from John today and just finished potting them up and can't wait for the buds to open! Front two little ones are besseae flavum seedlings--I only ordered one but John sent two for the same price because he felt the first one he pulled was a little rough. Back left...

My philippinense is growing really well. It is, however, becoming rather root bound especially at the bottom of the pot where it is just a tangle of roots. It also currently has tons of actively growing roots. It is growing so well that I am unsure if I want to risk changing anything, but I...

I just received these two great looking in spike caudatum(s?) from the Orchid Zone: Would it be correct to say that these should essentially be grown like a multifloral paph? They have more available on ebay for a great price if anyone has been wanting one...

I am not the most technical person and know next to nothing about electronics and I want to make sure I don't burn my house down. I have been using one of these timers for some LEDs from Ray and it has worked great. https://www.hydrofarm.com/p/TM01015D I finally got my grow area reorganized...
