Curious how long the petals can get on this with all the sanderianum background? If anyone has pictures I'd love to see them. I just ordered one from tenshin gardens to pick up at the Mn orchid show. :drool:
Michael koopowitz x sandy= double shot sandy, and a single shot philly, should have super long petals!!!, sandy likes to grow in lower light than philly and wetter, sandy gets crown rot easy, be careful not to let water sit in the crown, I also find better growth with a wider day/night temp variation on sandy
Keep in mind that any sanderianum hybrid that is crossed back with a sanderianum hybrid can vary in petal length from long to disappointingly short and from what I have seen from blooming quite a few of these ...they usually come up very short with the shorter petalled parent dominating even with 25 % of the lineage. It's the same for crossing sanderianum hybrids with sanderianums ..I rarely see longer petals.
Hopefully it's long but I don't have any long petal paphs yet so even 6 inches is doing good!
Dang I want to know where that is! Cheapest I have seen is $55
