Hi all, here are a few bloomers opening this week. We will start with p. violascens, grows well for me but never clumps!

I'm not usually so fond of the complex Paphs, but you have a great collection! And then there's that beautiful violascens!

Very nice :clap::clap:

How is the violascans potted up?

Since I've put a lot of my barbata types into moss based baskets and went to a reduced K diet, I'm getting good clumping of growths.

Thanks for sharing.

I have two violascens in bloom now. One has a small horn on the pouch. All my violascens are potted with small orchiata bark/diatomite/charcoal and are in 2 inch pots. Also on a low K diet. D

Paph violascens tends to have one blooming growth, a start and one dying growth. I have never seen a large clump of this species, has anyone else?

Hi Doug

Love the Stone Lovely and the violascens isn't bad either. I've never grown that specie.

Thanks Bob, the Stone Lovely is decent size as well, just a hair under 12 cm. on a first bloom seedling. Maybe it will get a little larger as the plant matures. D
