    Wanted Scam alert! Do not engage with hyyui87 or "Mark6678"

    Hi all, I have confirmed that a member here, hyyui87, is a scammer, along with their supposed affiliate Mark6678 [email protected]. I posted last fall looking for Phrag. dalessandroi "Verified" x sib. I just saw that in mid December 2023 I got a direct message from hyyui87 telling me...

    Wanted Phrag dalessandroi "Verified" x sib

    Glenn at Piping Rock had Phrag dalessandroi "Verified" x sib for sale for quite a while, and I deeply wish I would've gotten one. They're super hard to find now. I love the shape, the extra yellow in the center, and the thin yellow strip around the dorsal sepal. Photo below, same one that used...

    Two new Phrags with odd spots

    Hi all, I just want to double check that everything looks ok here. Many thanks for positive or negative input, need to keep my other plants safe. The first set of pics is from a kovachii hybrid from eBay, the plant looks extremely healthy, but there are these odd circular spots. Non-pathogen...

    New Paph. tigrinum, bad roots

    I purchased a Paphiopedilum tigrinum off of eBay maybe a month ago. It's a multi-growth plant, one big old growth (very long leaves) that's dying back and two new growths that look to be maybe a year old. It came soaked and in a small pot, so I let it dry out and then checked the roots and...

    Visited Fair Orchids today!

    Just wanted to share that I had a super nice visit at Fair Orchids (USA - NJ) today! Kim has a great collection and was kind enough to give me a tour for an hour or two. He's a wealth of knowledge and has an excellent collection with some really special plants! I walked out with a coulple – a...

    First time deflasking (Phrag pearcei)

    Hi all. I just deflasked some seedlings for the first time! The species is Phrag pearcei. A couple questions... Do these look... right? They seemed a little low on roots, and the roots weren't as white as I would expect, but I also don't know what to expect! Also, some were twisted weirdly so...

    Wanted Phrag. ecuadorense

    I'm searching for a Phrag. ecuadorense but have had no luck. So far I've inquired at Orchids Limited, Windy Hill, and Woodstream. Any ideas on other vendors I could check with? I know this is considered synonymous with pearcei under some conventions, but I'm looking at least for the ecuadorense...

    Stagnant Phrag besseae?

    I have a Phrag besseae, it's a very pretty cross from Orchids Limited. I got it as a single growth, in spike, in May 2022. It flowered beautifully, and eventually started growing a new growth, and the mature growth died by the end of 2022. The new growth lasted through the spring, and then...

    Recommendations for Zone 6b?

    Hi! I moved recently and I’m looking for recommendations on what might grow and bloom well for me. I’m in central New Jersey (zone 6b) in an apartment with south-facing windows that get good light, plus I have a grow light. My temps are always between 68F and 75F, with little variation between...

    Peruflora flask list

    Does anyone have the current Peruflora flask list? I emailed them but have not gotten a response, so I just figured I would ask around instead.

    Phrag Apollo or other kovachii backross

    I'm looking for Phrag Apollo (Phrag (kovachii x besseae) x kovachii) or a similar kovachii backcross, such as with dalessandroi, schlimii or fischeri. I know Orchids Ltd. had Phrag Apollo about a year and a half ago, but at a higher price than I could pay. I currently have emails out to...

    Rock mount for lithophytic Phrags?

    I guess I just like to think about different ways to grow things. Does anyone have information or opinions on growing lithophytic Phrags on rock mounts? I'm thinking of mounting a lithophytic phrag (like schlimii) on a piece of granite. The orchid would be mounted in moss on the rock. The...

    Biopod

    I was surprised to find nothing on this forum about biopods! Has anyone used them for Phrags? I'm thinking of trying one out, maybe even for a kovachii. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    eBay vendors: lilywantian & funoption

    Does anyone know lilywantian on eBay? They ship from China apparently... but they have good deals... Also funoption, they ship from Thailand. Wouldn't you need permits for these? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Paph. violascens

    Does anyone have a division of Paphiopedilum violascens? Or one that they would be willing to part with? Willing to pay up to $50 depending on quality/vigor. I'm currently watching the Orchid Zone eBay listing, but the previous violascens they have sold have been labeled as breeding/award...

    Complex Paph Breeding

    What's the history of this, or, why is it so popular? What should I look for in these hybrids? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Phrag. Cardinale 2N

    I'm looking for a known Cardinale (Sedenii x schlimii), so maybe a remake, hopefully relatively flat (not as much twisty-petaled longifolium influence, since Cardinale can be variable), for about $50 or less. Any size. Thanks.
