Wow! That's pretty much awesome. Gotta start looking around for one for me now. Great flower. Love the hairs and the flair of the dorsal. The color is unbeatable

 

[Park Bear]

Tadd won't like this...yeah right!!!

I don't have any of these in my collection, but this one makes me want to get a few.

Very nice! I've been wanting one of these since I first started growing, I don't know why I haven't picked one up yet.

Awesome flower and a great photo!

That middle tooth of the staminode :rollhappy:

 

[TADD]

Wow Uri! Great petals! I love it! I think my bohlmannianum that I just won off of the raffle table for $1 is in possible low low spike! Uri, do you grow yours cooler? The colors look very nice and strong! Well done!

 

[paphjoint]

Thank you all for your comments

I grow my fairies intermediate - this clone is particular vigorous with three new growths!

 

[Heather]

Very nice! (for a faire....Ah...I admit it....tadd's love has rubbed off on me just a wee bit.)

 

[Marco]

Lovely. thanks Uri

Great job Uri.

Mine are not doing very good at present, and are definitely taking this year off from blooming.

Do you pot yours in an acidic or neutral-basic mix?

 

[paphjoint]

Thanks Rick -

I grow this in a more basic mix with calcium added

 

[Rick]

Thanks Uri

I have 2. One clone produces growths frequently, and when kept in a basic mix would add and loose roots frequently. The other clone grows bigger, but divides much less frequently, and always seems sparse on roots when in a basic mix.

Given that they can be found in both acid and basic mixes I switched to a standard bark mix, cooler temps, and less light about a month ago, and they seem to be improving.

great shot and also one of my favorites, I have several but yours is really great. I have never noticed the hairs on mine before but will look at next blooming, Thanks for sharing
