My klotz popped

[Clark]

I got this from Main Street Orchids last February. They were at show down the street.
Great deal.
Vigorous plant.
In spike for three months about.

Enjoy!

Nice flower!

The background is a bit off though....

 

[eteson]

nice klotz, it is a very nice species... Is the clonal name "Trumph"?
No, no way because the ancestry is from Venezuela!

 

[NYEric]

I would move it away from the monitor before it gets poisoned! :evil:

 

[SlipperKing]

Great looking flower Clark!

 

[eaborne]

Fabulous!

Great to see this attractive flower. Sadly, I killed one this past year. It was looking good for a while but then just gave up. How do you grow it?

One of my favorite Phrags. Well done!

Very nice! I like the vigorous part too - makes it a joy to grow.

 

[troy]

Very nice!!!

 

[abax]

It's much prettier than The Donald!

You couldn't help yourself, could you?

 

[Clark]

Nope.
I am mocking Chris Matthews and his employer.
Enjoy the satire.

How do you grow it?

Better in the last few months. I didn't know how much light it could take.
Inside the house- full sun behind double pane glass. When the sun moves to other side of house during day, i'll put the plant in the sun, again behind double pane glass(we have Anderson tilt wash windows with no screens. I never put them in on that side of house).
I have a plastic container that I use all time. In full sun the pot heats up too much and I need plastic container to shield the pot.
For 24hrs, the plastic container is full of water.
For the next 24hrs, no water.

Its cloudy/rainy here. When sun comes out I will post pics.
My whole collection has been outside on the deck for the last 48hrs. Loving the weather right now.

If Trump wins you will have to go to a 9-5!

Once, I thought I had a popped klotz. Turns out, it was just indigestion.

You are right, if he lowers taxes, it will be worth it.

Second flower for the spike.
I won't get three.

Lovely flower, not my favorite background.

 

[Migrant13]

Cool. I like the coloration of this species. Might have to try one again.
