here's an offer for someone that could meet me at the NCOS show tear down day, or deep cut show setup day, SEPOS show (any day) or come to my house in southeastern pa... zero interest in shipping i've grown this plant since i picked it off the bench back in 2014 at the zone. It matured...

Made ya look!! :-)

Been growing this with the label of fischerii from small seedling... blasted 2 years in a row... finally flowered... nice Hanne Popow? or maybe Manzur la Aldea? definitely like it, just would love to know what it actually is... <sigh> 'NDL' ;-)

this is from Lourens Grobler at redlands this past may. amazing that it came from south africa, no roots, and actually bloomed 5 months later.. its elro on spiculata flowers lasted about a week so maybe worth keeping... spurs are almost 7" long

I've been giving most of these seedlings away as they've opened... mostly no coerulea in the actual flower and only a pale indication in the lip.. but this one i think is a keeper... from francisco it was hiding behind a bunch of stuff as i caught it walking back into the house...

happened to have my phone in my pocket as i was poking around this morning... some of these are starting to produce like they should really looking forward to true production (please ignore my filthy windows) just saw this coerulea from ecuagenera 'Gigi' selfing... first flower on...

Has anyone with a greenhouse ever used the bubble wrap insulation on the interior of their greenhouse glazing? A few years ago when we had below zero temperatures forecast, i put up a layer of plastic on the interior of the greenhouse that captured an air layer. THe temps outside actually...

thought I’d get a take on this one as well. Purchased as a seedling from a South American vendor @ Redlands 2019. It’s a concolor on a striata. Very pleased with 4 flowers, 2 with nice upright dorsals…. And that from a first bloom mounted plant in a northeastern us greenhouse…. Anyhoo...

Gloria Naugle in flower for the past week or 2. From Sam about 5 years ago…

Thought I’d post these to see what others think. All first blooms couple of different sources

Sometimes not staking is just way more fun…. Couple of acmodontums from paph paradise last year. Nicer color this year.

at one point the redlands managers had links on the vendor lists but i suppose they stopped because they mostly didn't work Afri Orchis (Lourens) has his list up on his site. Krull smith is there and looks like they offer pickup @DrLeslieEe do you by any chance have good contact info for...

From Sam…. Almost 8.5 cm NS

From @tomkali…. Happy surprise under my lights . Thanx Tom!! :-)

one from Hadley (second plant - fewer bigger spots) one from sam (first plant)... liking both :-)

Apple pie from thanksgiving, ice cream, espresso, and deflasking some fun new plants… What could be better?

I've finally decided that i need a better alternative for automating watering on my seedling benches while i am travelling. WWWWay too much stress around greenhouse care for every trip i take, and it appears that no longer a once a year thing... Sooo... i already have overhead 'misting' on...

If you have a greenhouse and have had it very long you surely have reached the 'i need a treatment program' phase... I finally hit that about 5 years ago, when some conversations with Martin Motes and his book on florida orchid growing re-directed my thinking. Now that i have been doing...

Seems pretty happy this year. It’s from that strain that Ecuagenera grows. I’ve been noticing that the long petal Phrags. Species and hybrids seem to both grow better and flow better in smaller pots. To the point where when repotting it appears better to trim roots to make the tighter...
