New Paphs

[Tony]

I picked up these two today.

Paph Oberhausen's Diamant

Should look something like this:

(Not my picture)

Paph Sacred Dancer

Should look like this:

or this:

(Again, not my pictures)


The Oberhausen's Diamant has not bloomed yet, any idea when I could expect it to do so? I know sanderianum hybrids can be slow, but this is a pretty big plant, five mature growths and two new ones.

 

[MoreWater]

nice! I love O's Diamant!

 

[Marco]

dude that Paph Oberhausen's Diamant is serious! how many growths? i count 6.

 

[Heather]

Serious fairreanum in that second cross. I would imagine neither have had enough light if they haven't bloomed. The sure seem large enough!

 

[Tony]

The O's Diamant has 5 mature gowths and two starts, not yet bloomed. I put it with my Brassias, so it should get enough light now. The Sacred Dancer looks to be reliable boomer, it has old spikes on all the mature growths. The grower couldn't remember if it is an alba or coloratum, but it was made with fairrianum album.

 

[Gideon]

Nice purchases

 

[TADD]

I like the Sacred Dancer of course!

 

[cdub]

They're from Mary's Orchids in Lake Worth, FL. My order from Bloomfield just came in too, from left to right: spicerianum, malipoense, and Fanaticum.

 

[Heather]

Hi, my name is Tony and I'm a Paphaholic....

 

[Tony]

Here is my order from Carter and Holmes.
Left to right: Phrag Hanne Popow, Paph Henrietta Fujiwara, Brs caudata alba, Paph lowii, Paph henryanum, and a freebie, Paph St Swithin.

 

[Heather]

Nice! Good size plants too! You shouldn't have to wait too too long for the lowii and St. Swithin to bloom.

 

[Marco]

sweet haul tony...got anything line up oke:

 

[Tony]

Nothing else in the works, but I'm sure it won't be long.

 

[NYEric]

Cool haul. Carter and Holmes is supposed to be not to far from my Dad's too so hopefully I can stop there when I go to visit him.

 

[Tony]

Ok, Marco, I lied. I picked these three up today from Odom's Orchids.

Brassia Santa Barbara 'Riverbend'
It was way overgrown in a 6 inch pot, so I put it in a basket with a mix of spagnum and styrofoam peanuts.

Paph druryi
This was the last one, they said most of theirs died before they could sell them. I think it may be because it was potted in pure sphagnum moss. I put it in a bark mix, there were a few rotten roots but it still has a fair number of good ones.

Paph Julius
Two mature growths and a new one, maybe it will think about blooming within the next decade.
