philippinense

Picked this seedling up at the Illinois Orchid Society show at the Chicago Botanic Garden. I’ve never heard of the clonal name ‘Tildy Babuska’, and a google search couldn’t get me any results either. Is anyone familiar with this plant? The tag also seems to have some info identifying the flask...

A beautiful dark cross made my Tom and Gary at little greenhouse. I am so honored to own their one of a kind cross!

Coming up on five months post flasking of this seedpod, Paph. Jennifer Stage frma. alba (godefroyae x philippinense) x leucochilum frma. album. I’m expecting albino flowers from this weird backcross of an intersectional Paph hybrid (Polyantha x Brachypetalum) crossed back to Brachypetalum...

Finally a spike and guess what I did?!!? I broke off the second flower moving it to take pics. Silly me… I swore so much lol. Anyways I clamped it back on to take the pics. Poor thing. Petals 10 cm only… looking for 15-20 cm lol. Dark markings and petals though. Plant looks dehydrated in...

Well, my hunch was right! It impressed the judges to give it an AM/AOS of 82 points! The owner JBarnes was anxiously waiting for the results since last night lol.

Has this cross been made? I haven’t been able to find any for sale. If anyone here has one in their collection they’re willing to share a division of, please reach out. 🙂

With quarantine in full swing, I’ve decided to really lean into the hobby and buy my first flasks. I took advantage of Sam’s Fourth of July sale and purchased five flasks— thaianum, niveum, leuchochilum, philippinense, and rothschildianum. Here they are on 7/8, freshly potted in a mix of...

I received this Paph. philippinense in the mail last month. It had very minor shipping damage, nothing to be concerned about. However, I noticed where the leaves got creased, the tissue has become soft and white. Is this something to be worried about?

Like this primary hybrid very much. Hopefully the pouch will do better next time :)

A free gift from my friend. Love this paph very much :)
