Paph.armeniacum 'Orchid Court' CCM/AOS. As spring and winter fight a tug of war here in Ohio, spring is winning in the greenhouse with this cheerful display of bright yellow. like a mini sun. Eight inflorescences on a 50+growth plant, this plant lifts my spirits every time I see it! Grown up high in the GH for maximum light, kept moist in a fine bark mix, this plant goes outdoors after wintewr is done, for a hot summer and a cold fall, staying out til the nights have stayed down around 40ºF as long as possible.

Great show, Tennis. 👌 Is this the same plant/basket you've shown here (several times) before or do you grow more than one plant/basket

I believe I've posted this plant's progress in a previous year or two. I do have three other, 'small' plants, about 12-15 growths each. I should probably unload one or two before they get too big lol.

How big is that basket? Is it a laundry basket?
10" or so, I made it from hardware cloth (old name for 1/2" wire mesh). There are growths coming out of all four sides and the bottom as well. Transporting it can be quite difficult.

Paph.armeniacum 'Orchid Court' CCM/AOS. Mientras la primavera y el invierno luchan un tira y afloja aquí en Ohio, la primavera está ganando en el invernadero con esta alegre muestra de amarillo brillante. como un mini sol. ¡Ocho inflorescencias en una planta de más de 50 años, esta planta me levanta el ánimo cada vez que la veo! Crecida en lo alto de la GH para obtener la máxima luz, mantenida húmeda en una mezcla de corteza fina, esta planta sale al aire libre después de que termina el invierno, para un verano caluroso y un otoño frío, permaneciendo afuera hasta que las noches hayan permanecido alrededor de 40ºF el mayor tiempo posible. .
50 años tiene la planta? Lo tienes afuera con 40ºF??? Que sustrato tienes?
muchas gracias
