Deflasked Paph. anitum

Plantlets in anitum flask were overgrown, so I decided to deflask right away. The actual name of cross is Paph. anitum x sib ('特優' x '#100-1') and it came from Ching Hua Orchids.

Puck swimming in a bowl:



I liked how soft agar was, no problems washing it off. Plantlets separated relatively easy, but couple pairs didn't want to untangle -I left them as is. Counted 16 plants, not 20 as advertised:



Brown leaves at the bottom didn't look healthy so I peeled them off. Leaves are long and tangled, hope they will straighten up. Potted:



I created natural shade from large phalaenopsis in the corner of small tank. Anitum lives there now:

      Cool! Is that roth flask with 'X-Hot' as parent? I might be getting few seedlings of those in trade with someone I know.
