The buds have been developing for several weeks, but I am just showing the finished flower. The flower is very large. I just want to get some new growths on the plant.

I was just listening to a Norman Feng video, and he said that you should never repot Rotschidianum until after Easter. Are there similar rules for other types of Paphs? I know that you must look for new root growth in the case of most orchids, but some, like Phragmipediums can be repotted at any...

Hi I have a question about "spikes." So I have 2 phrags. Is there any way to tell if the tiny center leaf is a spike or is just another flat leaf? Wondering for a friend. Thanks.

Hi, I joined back in 2015, posted a few times and left. In 2016 I got very sick and due to neglect lost most of them. I then went on to a few more types of plants. I had a few "survivors," and one was a Slipper orchid, an "Avalon Druid" which is Paph. druryi (50%) + Paph. primulinum (38%) +...

Hi! I have been busy-- just graduated with my Master's degree and in the process of getting a temp job. I have been watching my paphs and phrags, and wondering how to tell if they are going to put out a spike. I've looked on line, and all I have seen is that little center leaf. What happens...

I am growing my phrag. Grande very wet, like Richteri, and Conchiferum. Unfortunately, the plant has been experienced lower leaf wetting and rot. Because the Phrag Grande's leaves are very stiff, I am starting to think it is higher light, and also lower water than those two I mentioned above...

This phrag had a spike already when I got it, and now it has started to bloom. It is very small, but nicely shaped.

I have had some semi-hydroponic luck in the past, and thought that slipper orchids would especially like the method especially if only rain water/RO water were used. My main question is how long it takes for them to get accliametized, and if there is a great amount of root loss, or...

I decided this year to get into phrags and paphs a bit more. I had 2 phrags: Nicholle Tower, and Olof Gruss. I found Chuck Acker on line. He was selling flasks, but also had a few divisions for sale. I bought Phrag. Richteri 'Rands' and Conchiferum 'Waunakee.' Both have spikes with buds. Phrag...

I haven't been to this message board in a long time. I am excited now because I am getting 3 phrags, and one paph as soon as the weather is better. These are divisions of Chuck Acker's plants: Phrag Caudatum var. Giganteum X sibling Phragmipedium richteri Phragmipedium Conchiferum...

Hi, this is my new Dunkle with bud. The leaves are awesome, and it is so dark, it really looks black in places.

I was not able to upload a picture of my NT because my camera is a tablet, and all the pictures came out fuzzy, so I have been waiting for a macro lens. So, here is my first blossom, and a few fun close-ups!

Hi, I joined a few months ago, but really did not post (maybe once or twice, can't remember.) I have been taking care of orchids for about 3 years, and have gone through the usual "phases" of "rescue orchids" and so on. I am still not great at several kinds of orchids. I am also in a very dry...

Hi. I have about 2 years of orchid care under my belt so far. I have gotten pretty good at Cymbidiums, Phals, Oncidium intergenerics, Cattleyas, and Dendrobiums. I do have one terrestrial orchid, a Spathoglottis that I got by chance. It is doing well, but not overwhelmingly so. I have yet to...
