At my local orchid society yesterday, I purchased two Phrags from the speaker, a regional expert (more in Paphs than in Phrags) - Jason Fischer and Caudatum. He said Jason Fischer and other Besseae types do fine in my conditions, sitting in 3" of water (a humidity tray with the grate...

(See price at bottom of listing). Plants are in SF Bay Area. I'm selling these because: a) I want to make space for oncidium alliance plants, which I'm more interested in now; b) 3 of these now have blasted their buds for me, and when it happened this week I threw up my hands [not interested...

I bought this in bloom a little over a year ago, first reblooming. The dorsal sepal is doing a crazy swoop to the side thing, as if the lip is an attention-hungry diva. And the bottom sepals seem to have a kind of magnetic attraction to each other! Sadly, I knocked off the...

Hi, my Fumi's Delight, a two growth plant, developed a sheath (that may be a Catt. word, but it's a better description than "in bud") a couple months ago and I don't really see it advancing. It seems not to have grown or developed much at all. This same thing happened to my micranthum, I...

I was unable to find photos of this cross - possibly my search string was off, or I don't know where to look. (!) I bought this in bud, in mid-April, from Austin Creek Orchids in Petaluma, CA. Sam Tsui has a similar cross but JB 15-4, for sale. I have no idea what those numbers even mean...

After reading Bill Argo's articles on water / alkalinity / media / fertilizer, I got an alkalinity test kit and a pH/EC/TDS meter (Milwaukee Instruments). I tested my tapwater, filtered tapwater (household drinking water filter, doesn't change things much according to these tests) and the...

This is a recently described species. This is growing about an hour outside the city of Popayan in Southern Colombia. Due to the very strong waterfall and turbulent pool, all these photos are from a distance, and the magnification on my lens wasn't up to the task of getting any details. But...

This is on a cliff/mountainside in the Anchicaya River Basin, maybe a few hundred meters above the river. The Anchicaya is one of the most biodiverse locales in the most biodiverse bioregion, the Choco, in the second most biodiverse country, Colombia, in the world. My host pointed out that...

This is in Southwest Columbia, Valle del Cauca dept, Pacific Lowlands, in a place called Pericos. It is in the Choco Bioregion, which I was told is the rainiest area in the world. Phragmipedium longifolium, in situ closer-up This isn't out of focus - this is how misty this place was...

SOLD I'm a hobbyist, not a professional grower, so I prefer a local buyer rather than taking chances with packing and shipping. Anyone local-ish? Phrag QF Naukana Kealoha (longifolium var. gracile x Incan Treasure) QF=Quintal Farms, HI 1 already bloomed growth 2 mature growths, blooming size...

I have a small collection of phals I am parting with. They are healthy and in good condition but need the correct environment to thrive, and I don't have it. They've been purchased from high quality growers t I am willing to let them go for much less than I paid for them, or - possibly - to...

Attached are photos of a very healthy (I thought!) Paph Mount Avalon; and a struggling Paph Wayne Booth. The Mount Avalon just finished blooming, two spikes, ten flowers, ready to repot now and found the problem shown. This same problem (I think) destroyed a Paph Crouching Tiger that also had...

Paph Deception II on imgur.com Paph Deception II, imgur.com photo From paphparadise.com / Dave Sorokowsky in California, purchased blooming size in Feb 2016 p.s. I'm not able to post images using the IMG tag here. It asks for a URL, which doesn't work. Is it an imgur problem? Should I...

Hi all, I have a Phrag Franz Glanz, currently in bloom (there is a recent thread in photos section on this. My first rebloom of a Phrag (in a year of keeping them)). Its newer growths are starting above the level of the growing medium (fir bark). Can they do OK like this? There's definitely...

Not willing to ship these, but if you're local you can get them. They are big plants I may be willing to trade depending on what you've got. Here's what I've got: 6" pot, Paph Wayne Booth, 3 old growths, 3+ new growths. First bloom was last month, it had three flowers on a spike. LS 26"...
