Hi folks,\
just opened yesterday- took me 6 years- flowering was triggered by the cold nights we had in north queensland.
cheers

Hi Kevin, cold means in North Queensland:
Winter- Night = 18- 15 deg.
Day = 22- 29 deg.
Summer- Night = 20-24 deg.
Day = 24-34 deg
But the winter nights (2008) are extremely cold- some nights we had 8 degrees. Even my Paph phillipinense developed a flower bud for the first time- I have this plant for 9 years.
cheers
Albert
To me, that is intermediate to warm. Thanks for clarifying. So, both delenatii and phillipinense need temps below 15 in order to spike? I was staying away from these because I thought they needed warm temps all the time.
