Michael Koopowitz from sheath to bloom

[My Green Pets]

Just spotted this the other day! So excited Michael is spiking! This plant was purchased in July 2016 at Hausermann's for twenty dollars.

Will post frequent updates! Woohoo

He was just speaking at Norms openhouse 2 weeks ago. He is very interesting.

I hope this turns out great for you!

Your plant looks VERY healthy. Mike

 

[My Green Pets]

I'm hoping the same! I would like to meet Mr. Koopowitz as well as several other 'Paph people'.

Looking forward to this!

Thank you so much! It looked pristine on the bench at Hausermann's, I had to have it. I just repotted it last week, I hope I haven't screwed it up.

He says he repots every two years. So that means 1/2 one year and half the next year. He said it takes him about 4 months each year to repot 50% of his collection.

Excellent investment.

Mine refused to bloom this spring.

Good point.
Hopeful 'budwatching' wont involve 2" pot seedlings.

New point taken. That would be an over kill and definitely loose my attention quick.

Three? Could it be?

Well the first bud is just about ready to let its petals spill forth. The second bud looks like it will be upside down. The third should be ok. I like the red stripe on the ovary. This is a cross made by our own Mr Tom Kalina.
