First bloom! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is only my second flask, so I'm just a beginner and this is a learning process for me. Your input and advice would be appreciated. These have been out of flask for just two weeks and I started at a bit of a disadvantage, because the agar had begun to mold before I had a chance to get the...

Pre-ordered and picked up at our orchid show a couple weeks ago in spike! A nice surprise. I love how tiny it is. Just opened today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wondering if I can wait a week to deflask these Paph. Hsinying Anita x sanderianum? Or if I need to get them out now to prevent more leaves from browning. I bought Inocucor and KelpMax from Ray, which I'd like to use on the seedlings once I deflask to help them along, but I have to go to the...

I'm looking at getting a flask, but am curious what size this plant might end up being. Will the klotzschianum bring down the size of the caudatum? Also, how long from flask to blooming for this cross? (I tried to find the answers to these questions online, but can't get anywhere, so I...

Trying to move this to correct forum. Sorry for error. :(

This is the first bloom for this plant I bought in March. Curious why it doesn't have the lovely curled petals. Bloom opened this week. Are petals still growing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First bloom and second bloom. What the heck? I bought the plant in bloom from a Taiwan grower and liked the teeny flower. Curious what might have made that bloom so small. Stressful travel? Or is it just first bloom weirdness?

Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be your 'best' (if you don't want to give up your secrets) :wink:. How about interesting, amusing, or most ingenious. I recently used cheesecloth to provide some shade-like protection for seedlings under lights. I also bought little silicone baking...

Bought in spike. First bloom. Paph. haynaldianum ("Bear-12" x "Bear-15") Experts, what should one look for in an awardable specimen?

Paph. philippinense x sib ('Miao Hua' SM/TOGA x 'Mercury' SM/TPS) Bought at our orchid society show in March and wasn't expecting a spike. ...Don't remember noticing anything when I repotted it. What a nice surprise. Was expecting to wait until next year for blooms. A bit worried about the...

This little cutie stole my heart, so of course it had to come home with me. It was labelled only Paph. primulinum, but since that's a yellow form, could this one safely be called var. purpurascens? Poor little thing is a little wonky because of being pushed around by the much bigger paphs in...

Found this on my paph. anitum x sanderianum seedling when repotting. Is this brown rot or a simple dying away of oldest leaf? It is dry at the brown area and not mushy. https://imageshack.us/i/p507HCsjj https://imageshack.us/i/p7tq8DJvj

Bought this in spike, not fully opened yet, but curious about its species (oh lordy, is that the correct terminology?) if at all identifiable by the experts. http://imageshack.com/a/img908/333/gr9e2O.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img905/9271/u1XKZj.jpg

Oh boy! Keep me away from the nurseries!!!!!!!! Lordy! AND I was restraining myself. :clap::drool:

First post AND first bloom for this plant that I bought as a seedling over a year ago. Hello Slipper friends! :)
