Paph. Norito Hasegawa 'Souffle' B/CSA

[Yoyo_Jo]

I bought this last May as an unbloomed seedling at our orchid society silent auction table


Norito Hasegawa = armeniacum x malipoense

Nice photo, Jo. Looks like you chose well, also.

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice buy. Did you get the award?

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

No, this will be my plant's first blooming. The award must have been to the plant which I have a division of. Is it wrong to say that my plant was awarded; that's what the tag says??

Is it a seedling or a division? If it's a division, then the award can go with it.

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

It's a division. The original plant came from Paphanatics. I called it a seedling because I was thinking baby plant, not because it was grown from seed. Oops

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

Okay, so now I have a question. I just looked up Paph. Norito Hasegawa 'Souffle' on Orchidwiz and it says this plant was awarded B/CSA in 1993. So that means I have a division of a fairly old plant then? Cool.

Nice! It's always good to buy awarded plants.

Heh, heh, well, I've had it for less than a year, but...

It's potted in a plastic pot in bark mix. It gets a drink of rain/RO/snow melt every 6 to 7 days. Fed once per month, alternating Dyna-gro Bloom and Foliage Pro fertilizers. I grow it under fluorescent lights, currently it's under a four-tube T-8 fixture.
