How do you grow Phrag Grande? I know it needs higher light than most besseae, but the potting mix. Is bark mix good?

My first Dollgoldi. I always wanted this cross and saw the plant at local show for sale from Ching Hua Orchids. Its a big 3 growths+new lead plant for only $50. The price is too good to pass. Its blooming on second growth and the 3 growth is fully mature too. I'm crossing my finger the plant...

One of the AM awarded clone from Glen Decker. It typically flower for me during spring, but the spring was very late and it was raining all summer. No nice weather until fall and all growths decided to flower.

My two plants, Phrag. kovachii and dalassandroi. Pg. kovachii is the one with darker green leaf, and its on second growth. The leaf is getting bigger and fatter, and currently about 12" LS. Not sure how big it needs to get before it will bloom. Crossing my finger, it will bloom on this growth...

Oppp totally forget it. LOL So brace yourself, here are the photos. Flowers are just a little over 2" across, dark watermelon red color. Right one has fuller form and darker color. Left one has slightly bigger lip and bigger petals. :) The plant growth doesn't seem like S. brevipendiculata i...

Looking blooming size or division (prefer 3-4 growths) of good clone of Paph. lowii in CANADA. LET me know if you have any spare division or a good source. Thanks. Lanny

Did anybody know the registration name for Paph. (Fanaticum x micranthum)???

Here is two more blooming from my collection. Paph. dayanum and Cam's Cloud. P. dayanum has a NS of over 13cm and the size definitely increase as last year was only about 11cm. First blooming for Cam's Cloud, with NS of 11cm. Not as robust as other emersonii hybrids I got, but at least...

My first blooming of Ren. citrina. The plant is only 6" tall and 4" across. It has a long way to go before it become vinelike and throwing branching flower spike. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

My first time blooming of Paph. Prince Edward of York, one of Sam Tsui cross. I lost the tag of the parent, but overall I think its a great clone. I love the wide petal and its about 11.5" long. Great color and shape on the dosal: a little ruffle on the edge, but could definitely improve on...

Up on my Prince Edward of York. The first flower is fully open, almost, and the petals is only about 10" now. Judging from the dosal, the flower is not fully mature, yet as its not horizontal like rothschildianum. Will post a better picture once the second one is fully open.

After 6 long years, (at one point I though I loss the plant due to late repotting), my PEOY finally throw out the spike. I originally though, the first growth will not bloom because the leaf stop growing and there is only 4 leaf on that growth. Now it has a second growth, that is about 3 years...

Anybody have experience growing phrag. popowii?? I have one large growth + one 1/2 mature new growth and a starter and still no sign of flower yet. Also it grow very slow compare to Pharag. wallisii which I had that bloomed on single growth and bloom again after 11 months. =( The plant is very...

I have Paph. emersonii in shealth (for the first time) for over 5 months and there is no sing of bud development yet. I'm just wondering how long it will take for a 'flower shealth' to produce bloom. I heard some species like malipoense takes a long time to produce flower as well.

What is the best fertilizer for the paph?? I been feeding my paph. 25-10-10 and bloom booster mix. I heard paph do well with fertilizer that have high calcium content.

Anybody knows the proper culture for Paph. mastersianum and violascens. They both seem to be growing slowly and mastersianum leaves are pretty yellow. It's the normal leaf color for mastersianum??? I grow them under light with 15-16'C night time temperature with 5-10'C raise depending on the...
