New paphiopedilums

Relatively new actually. I got them in the beginning of August from the member of slippertalk forum.

Paphiopedilum Fanaticum:



- nice young plant with many healthy roots.

Paphiopedilum Fumi's Delight:



Multigrowth plant that previously bloomed. It came with a sheath on one growth but sheath promptly dried up, probably stressed from shipping and environment change.


Paphiopedilum Armeni White:



It is actually all one plant connected under medium with long runners. I decided to pot it into shallow tray so runners will have chance to come up easier. One of the growths has a bud starting.

Phalaenopsis violacea 'alba'

Here is an often-blooming plant:



It had a problem with rot that came on the edge of good leaf, so I had to cut a portion of that leaf, but it didn't affect the blooming pattern at all.
Fragrance is really nice...

Phalaenopsis speciosa C1

Phalaenopsis speciosa C1 is doing "white blooming" again. There are quite a few blooms and buds on one spike and still few unopened buds on the second one.



I am missing the random red petals on this plant.



I forgot what factor of environment controls intensity of red, need to do some research...

Paphiopedilum Paul Parks repotted

Paphiopedilum Paul Parks seedlings became a bit crowded in their tray:



I decided to graduate them to pots. As a result I got seven pots with three seedlings in each and two pots with four seedlings in each. I didn't expect such a good survival rate up to now:



I will probably leave myself 4 pots and make others available for trade or sale...

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:
