First to blooom for me this year at 40ºN in central Ohio. I've had it a few years and so far bloomed each year. Flower almost 4" across on a 10" tall plant. Grown in a plastic pot sunk into a raised bed outside, beside the greenhouse.

So glad this turned out to be delenatii album; somehow it had lost its tag and since I couldn't find my delenatii album and the foliage looked appropriate I had tentatively put that name in the pot. A nice one, at that!

This has been 'in spike' since July and opened at the end of February, not an uncommon thing for the species. Large and well-colored and marked. I only wish it were a more robust grower. It has remained a one-growth plant for years, though it has bloomed every other year or so, and I am hoping...

My best blooming of this ~40-growth plant yet: eleven flowers/buds on ten inflorescences; one inflorescence is double-flowered. Haven't seen that before on micranthum, though the 50+ growth armeniacum has done it a couple of times. Growing in a 10" wire basket in a fine bark mix with a bit of...

Finally got the purplish venustum I've been looking for. Took a bit over a year to bloom it, but well worth the wait to me!

A surprise blooming on a small plant; this took far less time than the malipoense now also opening, which has been 'in spike' since about July.

IMHO, the finest pre-bessea phrag. hybrid (Sedenii x caudatum). While it is a robust grower, it is a shy bloomer in my experience. But well worth the wait with its elegant, large pink flowers. This time, I got three flowers, though one was fading by the time the last two opened.

Only have three besseaes, and this species never dissapoints. Large flowers, easy bloomer. Acquired in a trade 15 years ago.

I must admit I'm very pleased with this first blooming on my barbatum; nice dark, shapely flowers, well-presented.

I have come to the difficult decision to part with this wonderful plant; as I have the larger plant which blooms every year, I really don't have room for a bunch of these large plants of one species in my small greenhouse, or the time and energy to give the care they need. This is a once in a...

Rare opportunity to obtain a good-growing, agressively multiplying cultivar of this species! Excellent flower quality as well. Split up a couple of my 15-growth armeniacums, and have a single plant connected mass of six growths to sell. Have attached a pic of the plant and the flower. $225 +...

This Paph.micranthum has in the past been a difficult bloomer; gowing it cooler has improved its performance. 5 spikes (two just now breaking bud out of their growths) on a 30+growth plant, it is kept moist in medium light year-round, and grown cool especially in the fall and winter, in a fine...

Paph.armeniacum 'Orchid Court' CCM/AOS. As spring and winter fight a tug of war here in Ohio, spring is winning in the greenhouse with this cheerful display of bright yellow. like a mini sun. Eight inflorescences on a 50+growth plant, this plant lifts my spirits every time I see it! Grown up...

Also a first-bloom seedling. Tiny plant; flower not as large as the one I've bloomed previously, but I suppose that will improve as the plant grows larger. Have another in low spike so we'll keep this pic for comparison.

Large flower for a tiny first-bloom seedling. Staminode just a bit wonky, but hopefully will improve on future bloomings. Another successs for my cool growing case!

Lovely primary hybrid paph, previoiusly bloomed plant with some discoloration on old leaves. 1 prev.bloomed growth, 1 BS growth, plus two new growths in a 3.25" pot. Not currently in spike/bloom. Plant pics and flower pic are from exact plant for sale. US bareroot shipping only. Paypal only...

Fantastic plant gets sprays of large, dramatically colored flowers fragrant of black pepper! May or may not bloom before going dormant for its dry winter rest later this year as all catasetums do. Not currently in spike/bloom. Plant pic is exact plant for sale; flower pics from parent plant. US...

Blooming sized 7-growth plant of this unusual species. two leafless backbulbs + 5 growths, older growth leaftips broken off, plant in sheath as shown, has turned brown (no idea if it wills till bloom from that or not) Usually blooms in winter for me on tall spikes here in Ohio. Currently in 4"...

4-growth previously bloomed division (1 prev.bloomed, 1 BS, 2 NBS growths) of this smaller-growing (but full sized flower) easy-growing/flowering variety of longifolium with flowers more purply-pinky than the browner type form. Not currently in spikebloom. 12" ruler for size gauge. Plant pics...

A pleasant surprise from this previously unbloomed seedling, with 7.25" flowers
