Another species that bloomed 2 times this year. Love the Colors and the petals have improved. But I am not sure it’s enough for me to keep it this was her blooming with 2 flowers in may 2023

A primary of warneri and warscewiczii. Huge and fragrant!

Or at least that’s what the label says. It blooms 2 times a year so I doubt it’s pure labiata. It bloomed last April 2023. Loving the color tho!

A first bloom seedling from Orchid Inn, Dark Nebula x Purple Mane. A sister to @Djthomp28's plant. I really like the color and markings. Looking forward to future blooms

This one has been in bloom all year. I think this is the 6th for 2023. Shape just keeps improving

Small bloom compared to its usual due to recent repotting. I believe this is more than 80% bellatulum. It got the finicky nature from it.

4 flasks I deflasked around march/april this year. 1 thaianum, 2 leucochilums, and one niveum that’s obviously mislabelled (far right).

Paphiopedilum niveum that blooms on and off the whole year. Sorry for the crappy photo. Not easy to take one with the spikes flopping around 😂

Phalaenopsis bellina coerulea. At least that’s what the label says. I’ve a feeling it’s a Samera. Very fragrant

Gotta admit, I’ve been cheating on my paphs with these flamboyant cattleyas… Cattleya labiata coerulea x Hsinying Labiaka. Big flower on short fat bulbs. The scent is heavenly! I just did a search. She’s 75% labiata, 12.5% warneri, 6.25% each walkeriana and pumila.

Paphiopedilum concolor. At least that’s what it says on the label. Many believe it’s a hybrid with leucochilum.

Paphiopedilum (Benkei x leucochilum) x bellatulum. 4 more buds to go..

She blooms differently everytime. Faint soapy fragrance.

Blc. Chyong Guu Chaffinch x Pot. Little Toshie. Started as light yellow. Now it’s faded to this peachy tone.

An SVO plant that’s heavy on dowiana. Sadly no fragrance.. but that lip!

My favorite Paph. niveum in my collection. Isn’t she just perfect? 2 more buds to open on this spike!

Here are some photos to showcase the beauty of brachy leaves!

A cross of bellatulum and thaianum. Bought as a single growth plant a few years ago but now has grown into 3 multigrowth divisions. This is the first to bloom this year. The other 2 are in bloom / bud. Will post another photo with all 3 in bloom.

Why is it that not many people grow brachys? At the recently concluded Toronto orchid show, there were no brachys on display. And there were only 2 bellatulums for sale that obviously went home with me! Is it because people find the mostly white flowers boring?

Definite improvement over last blooming. Sam thinks it’s the best he’s seen of the cross. Not the fastest grower though
