    Paphiopedilum charlesworthii var. alba

    First bloom on a very small one growth plant, so overall size not of concern. I have not seen a ton of these, but while the dorsal can be a bit fuller in the best examples I think the flatness and presentation of the dorsal are first rate (and frankly I like the dorsal just as it is - a nice...

    Paph. callosum in bud

    I love coloratums and I really love "flame" vinis- but when a batch of callosums starts coming into bud (I have spikes coming on 7 out of 12 plants so far- all initiated under my care), it is awful nice to see a few looking like this (3 of the 7 so far are this dark)...

    Another of these has bloomed - rothschildianum 'Black Eagle' x 'Knight Challenge' SM/JOGA Again not the biggest dorsal at 4.4 cm, but the color is good and those petals! First bloom plant and they are 27cm wide and still growing- though I think about done. The flower has been open 3 days. The...

    Slc. Jillian Lee -best one yet

    I posted a group shot of the first 6 to flower a few weeks ago- and then this weekend a real stunner opened. Not the largest flower- but for me as a breeder, the color makes this the best of the bunch. It positively glows- and this was the best picture I could get (which still does not quite...

    Paph. Prince Edward of York

    A really nice one- right on the edge for me in terms of keep/don't keep. First bloom - 4 flowers. Blooms consistent except for degree of "shrugging" of petals. This second flower is the best overall but also shows the most shrugging. Dorsal its best feature I think, both in size and in...

    Paph. rothschildianum 'Black Eagle' x 'Knight Challenge' SM/JOGA

    First bloom on a single growth with 84 cm natural spread. 1 flower so far still adjusting its petal stance but I think about done widening. 3 additional buds- 2 of which will open. 4th- too soon to tell, but developing. Nice color in the pouch. 24 cm spread. Dorsal width in the "has a great...

    For Sale Sold- thank you

    Good morning all, As some of you know, I have been on the fence the last few years about whether to stay strictly a hobbyist, or branch out a bit further with my occasional show/lecture sales to make a second career of selling orchids at the very high end on a small scale as a side- and...

    Mealy bugs - missed a treatment

    Good evening all, I was doing so well. Very minor outbreak of mealies with just a few Phals a while back. I isolated them in time and did 3 weekly treatments with 3 in 1- thoroughly spraying tops and bottoms of leaves, base of plant etc. I really soaked them good. After week 3 they were...

    Paph. callosum var. potentianum

    First one to flower. A very pretty little plant. I would almost be tempted to call it an alba form, but there is just enough pale rose on the pouch and petals to keep it from being so. Great potential for miniature hybrids provided it proves to be as good a breeder as other forms of callosum.

    Slc. Jillian Lee - 7 first bloom seedlings

    A wonderful cross. 7 of them popped into bloom this week, with 3 more in bud and the rest presumably imminent. Some of the ones flowering already have new growths with buds. Color-wise a relatively narrow range so far- but with some variance. There is 1 definite keeper in here- the rest will...

    C. mossiae 'Cedarwood Splendor' AM/AOS

    Just opened 2 days ago and already pushing a 7 inch spread. I like this photo best because it ideally shows that petal carriage and three dimensionality that hybridizing seeks to take away. I am truly in love with this flower. One of the blooms is reserved for a mossia sib cross, but if anyone...

    Phal. Chingrey's Tiger x Zheng Min Tyrannosaurus

    I love how this came out! The first bloom a few weeks ago was on a normal-sized spike, but when I cut it very early in the blooming to get this propped, the plant put out this short spike in protest with 5 magnificent blooms (original spike had 3.) Time will tell if the size improves, but I love...

    Smelly orchiata

    Good morning everyone, I am frantically preparing for a record number of flasks to be potted up this weekend, and this morning I drained a bucket of fine grade orchiata I have been soaking in tap water for about a week. As I strained out the water- I noticed it smelled rather unpleasant. Kind...
