Hello everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. So, according to my profile I was last here in June 2018, three years ago… What happened? Well, long story short, I’ve been very busy and most of my collection ascended to orchid heaven. I had to give my plants to family members for a while, and...

Phrag. andreettae. My easiest Phrag - fast growing, easy to grow, blooms twice a year, no brown leaf tips, no problems! Barbara LeAnn, a perpetual bloomer. Hanne Popow, also in bloom for most of the year. schlimii. I have three. This one has the least attractive flower...

Hello everyone! Long time no post. I still love orchids but, as it often is with hobbies, life gets in the way. I think it has been a year since I last bought an orchid. :eek: Today, I saw that my Paph. tigrinum is in bud and it looks like it may not blast this time! I was so happy I thought...

First bloom. Thanks for looking. :)

Hi everybody! I haven't been here in a while. I've been very busy and my collection has suffered as a result. I lost about ten plants to a spider mite infestation because I noticed it too late (those things always strike in the summer!), which is a lot for a windowsill collection. That...

I've had this kovachii for about a year. Bought as a small plant with one growth, it has since produced two new growths and started another one. So it's been doing well so far. Then, suddenly, it started to develop this brown spotting and yellowing on the leaf tips. It was repotted recently and...

Not much happening on my windowsill in terms of orchids, so I thought I'd post some non-orchid flowers. I have a small collection of succulents and cacti, and some are in flower. Not as spectacular as orchids, but still nice. Sedum suaveolens Rebutia pygmae Mammillaria...

I fell in love with this species the first time I saw a picture of it. Now, I've bloomed mine. I bought it as a rather small seedling last year and it has only one growth, so I'm surprised it's blooming already. I love the glossiness of the flower. Shortly after opening: A few days...

armeniacum x emersonii, first bloom. Thanks for looking! :)

I got this one mislabeled as Paph. urbanianum. I really like this plant. The petals reflex a lot after a couple of days (which you can see on these photos), but the flower is very colourful, more so than on many photos of this species I saw online. Thanks for looking! :)

I received these yesterday. The box looked as if the guys at DHL played football (or soccer if you call it that :)) with it during their lunch break. The seedlings were terribly jumbled inside the flask, a mess of leaves, roots and agar. I cleaned them thoroughly and luckily it seems that they...

First bloom. A nice fat pouch and small wonky petals, but I like it as it is. I'm happy about any Paph. species that decides to bloom on my windowsill! Thanks for looking! :)

75% delenatii, 25% armeniacum First blooming seedling in a 5cm pot. The flower just opened today so the petals might grow some more. Thanks for looking! :)

I have always liked Masdevallias but because the vast majority of this genus' species requires cold temperatures, I was hesitant to try growing one. Then I found this species on offer in Ecuagenera's catalog, it was supposed to be one of the very rare warm growing Masdevallias. I bought one last...

One of my favourite orchid species. Easy to grow and very rewarding. This is a first-blooming seedling. Thanks for looking! :)

First Paph. flowers this year. Paph. delenatii, two plants, three flowers. and a Paph. sukhakulii Thanks for looking! :)

Not amazing, but it's cute and smells good! Imported by Ecuagenera this year. Thanks for looking! :)

Very cupped but it's a rare species so I'm posting it. I like how alien it looks. Thanks for looking! :)

Last week I noticed a brown spot on my Paph. philippinense var. album. I covered it in cinnamon powder to see if it would help, but now I see the spot has doubled in size. At this point I should probably remove the leaf completely, yes? Does this look bacterial, erwinia maybe? There's...

Neat little thing, but rather short-lived flowers, unfortunately. They only lasted one week. Thanks for looking! :)
