Phragmipedium besseae var flava

[Ayreon]

I grow mine in a greenhouse in the basement..haha.. yes I'm probably the only lunatic that built a greenhouse in my basement, but the plants are happy. The greenhouse makes it easy to control temprature, air flow and humidity. In the summer I have between 20C and 28C, and in the winter 16C to 24C. Humidity around 75%. Every single Phrag I have is flowering now or has been flowering within the passed month.

Every one!?! I wish I could say that; I have about 9 in spike/bud/bloom. Maybe in a few years...

Well, I don't have that many.. only 6...
But I have hundreds of Paphs

It's still a good record to have all in bloom near the same time.

Not anymore. As of this Fall, I now have one also. At lease if you can call an enclosed growing space a greenhouse...

I think I posted this on the forum right after I had built it.
It's a lot more crowded in there now

Yeah, w/ the crazy columns. It's sure to get more crowded but don't worry that way it's more natural, like the jungle!
