charlesworthii

A little one popped up while I was away. Not huge but good proportions. First or second bloom.

This is the first time that 3 of my awarded charliebums are blooming at the same time. The huge 10-cm FCC ‘Immaculate’ towers over the 8-cm AM ‘Green Tea’ (right) and the 7.5-cm AM ‘Green Delight’ (left). They have been bred and selfed with babies already in lab.

Rarely blooming in summer, the flowers are smaller and sulk (not a happy face lol from the side sticking tongue out of that staminode). But I’ll enjoy it despite its sullenness 😅. NS 8 cm DSW 5 cm A division from Hillsview.

This one is blooming really late in season (or early, depending on whose view). Very nice shape (flat dorsal) but color not as intense as the recent awarded ones. Nice showy plant though. NS 7.5 cm DS 5.5 x 5 cm P 2.2 x 4 cm From a batch of five HungSheng plants (3 survived) in 2019. Named...

I just got my first FCC today at judging! Now I know how Tyler felt! I’m on the moon still lol. Presenting ‘Her Majesty’, the charlesworthii album with 90 points! The 4th FCC to be given by the Toronto Judging Center (TJC) in over 30 years! I named this as a tribute to my treasured...

Just opening with two buds plus 2 more low sheaths. Strong grower, a division from Hillsview Nursery (Theresa) I got about 4 years ago. Still expanding and will get much larger (the name gives a hint lol). Hopefully all opens together in a month?

I got this multigrowth plant from Eggshells and it finally threw a single bloom after 1.5 years. A very reluctant bloomer for Eggshells that he finally gave up and sold to me. Just opening. Hope it flattens out.

I present the last of the Taiwan charlesworthiis to bloom… luckily it didn’t blast like the 3rd one! Very round and flat dorsal. Color not too shabby.

A few first bloom charlies from HungSheng are in bud and blooming. So far the first one looks typical of species. Let’s hope the next few may be have darker pink dorsals as they are selected line breeding.

My 3rd to bloom this year. A division from Orchid Inn. Day 3 only so may expand over the week. Trying a new phone Samsung ZFold2.

Another charlesworthii album just came into bloom. I got this division from Hillsview Orchids couple years (or more) ago. A pretty vigorous grower and a well balanced flower. NS 7.5 cm, DS 5.3 cm Awarded in October 2010 with AM of 81 points.

Blooming earlier ... not sure why but a few cooler growing paph species flowering are early (normally fall to spring aka September to March). Used to be my dream plant through the 90’s lol. Now I have several different cultivars. Dorsal sepal a big small but cute nonetheless. May expand over a...
