Slippers tank

Well, it is actually my old tank number two, but slippers almost completely took over it:



I have sold bunch of phalaenopsis hybrids on ebay, threw away few plants that didn't cooperate and now there is some space available for paphiopedilum seedlings to grow in:



And also for newly preordered phragmipedium flasks that I will get in October.
Just for the history - a closer picture of Paph. hangianum seedlings, I am fussing around them a bit because they are kind of rare:

Paphiopedilum callosum deflasked

Maudae type species that is supposed to be easy to grow and bloom. Paphiopedilum callosum x sib.



I counted 35 plantlets. Some of them have yellowing leaves at the bottom. Since they are bottom leaves - I will not worry about it for now.

Paphiopedilum Paul Parks deflasked

Sanderianum primary hybrid - Paphiopedilum Paul Parks. Hopefully more vigorous than my sanderianum seedlings.
Cross is sanderianum 'Lady in Red' x adductum var. anitum 'Ace' AM/AOS.



There are about 26 seedlings, all pretty uniform in size. I didn't bother with small protocorm-sized plantlets, just threw them away.

Paphiopedilum Harold Koopowitz deflasked

Another parvi hybrid that came yesterday in flask.
Paphiopedilum Harold Koopowitz - rothschildianum 'Gigantic Dorsal' x malipoense 'Sam's Choice' FCC/AOS.



About 30 seedlings. One was large enough to go to the individual pot, I think. Hope it will be ok...

Paphiopedilum Carolyn Butcher deflasked

Sometime in winter I pre-ordered bunch of paphiopedilum flasks from Orchid Inn USA. Received them yesterday.
Here is the first one I deflasked- Paphiopedilum Carolyn Butcher:



The cross is Fanaticum 'SVO Chunky Monkey' AM/AOS x delenatii 'SVO VII' AM/AOS. There are 27 seedlings in total, couple were clearly bullies with large roots, so I potted them separately. Bottom right pot has two plantlets that are actually connected by long runner.
