I just made an impulse buy of a Paph. wardii from the above vendor. Anyone knowledgeable about this vendor? Does wardii require any
special treatment over and above the way I grow my other Paphs....warm,
humid, medium light, Orchiata and K-Lite?
On a very sad note, I did have two urbanianums in bud and found one
today that had blasted. The other one looks very good. I don't have
the slightest idea why one blasted and one didn't. As all of you predicted,
my Norito Hasagawa is taking forever for the bud to open, but it looks
very good and quite dark so far. Alhambra has fully opened and is gorgeous
and amazingly large for a first bloom. I also have a Deperle in bud and
looking very good. Send good vibes!
Another question while I'm here. I still haven't managed to bloom Primcolor or Conestoga although both are huge multigrowth plants in
8" pots. Both are very healthy and seem to want to spend their time
making new growths instead of blooming. Might dividing them this
spring prompt blooming assuming they haven't bloomed? I'm getting
very frustrated with them and two 8" pots are taking some bench space
I rather have for Paphs. that actually bloom.
