winter buds

[ehanes7612]

who says we dont get enough light in the Northwest? (JK)..currently have three bellatulums (Orchid Inn) and three brachy hybrids, three micranthum,four parvi hybrids, a vietnamense, two lowii , adductum x gardineri, wossner kolarmi, and two wilheminae in bud.. hopefully my stonei and other gloria naugle is setting bud (both are sheathing)

really excited about the bellatulums

wow, that's great! I don't have anything yet except a Jason Fischer. Weird, usually the multiflorals would be showing by now so it might be a disappointing spring or just later than usual. One of my lowii might be in bud though.

we had an indian summer ..so i am wondering how much that factored..and this is the first year i let my brachys and parvys dry out ..which i suspect is a trigger (i probably read that somewhere)

Nice! I only have a P. Magical Venus in bud now. Hoping for delenatii spike soon. Going to get 3 more species paphs from Orchid Inn at the show. Including a belatullum. Are yours in clay pots or do you just have them in plastic and keep them drier?

 

[ehanes7612]

they are still in the same plastic pots from Sam..they really dont like repotting so i wait as long as i can
