Paph. emersonii 2012

[Martin]

Thank you guys!

Congrats! These are blooming again in 8-9 years??

I had some flowers over the years. But most are not flowering every year. Sometimes the bud didn't come to bloom. I think our winters are not optimal for their bud growing.

Clay pots?

Gallant effect on these babies

Yes!

I really dont make anything special with them. Our water is very calcareous. Thats why most of my plants have so dirty leaves. perhaps the emersons like this. I keep the pots constantly humid. tempreture can be hot during summer and cold during winter. So dont fit for the species all the time.

Very impressive!
In some weeks I'll get one, too, hope I'll do better this time...

Martin, kudos to you. These flowers are very nice and the plants look very healthy. Congrats for growing them so well.

Very impressive!
In some weeks I'll get one, too, hope I'll do better this time...

Cool, from China?

It's always helpful to see entire plants and not just flowers. I absolutely love these!

Cool, from China?

Yes, one of my hengduan order.
What temperatures do you have in winter, do you think cold id necessary for them?

Two are flowering again. Emersonii are easy growers now at my place. They grew very well over the last years but didn't flower. This year two plants flower from two shoots. One plant got the two buds to flower the other one just one but the second turn on growing now. I like the unique flavor. They are just natural looking emersons, not the candidates for an award but i like them a lot. I think they will have Sex soon!

Like to share my this years emersonii. Nothing special, just normal old Style ones. Even more wild shaped and not as round as some which were shown before. F.e. istvans gorgeous plant. All have the typical emersonii smell and the one with double flower shows it the second time.

Some for this years:

Plant from Popow, purchased 2012. Much more compact growing then the other plants. Should be originated from China





The following one rebloomers which i have shown before. Easy grower for me.

Just growing and flowering these so well is impressive enough. The second one from the bottom is fantastic IMO.
