Paph. Wössner Wolke seedlings

Here is one more update on my seedlings. This was the flask with most population. When deflasking they were so clumped together that I couldn't separate and count them, so I just planted them in groups.
Now, when re-potting, I separated each seedling and counted them - 57. It's like two flasks in one bottle.




Smaller runts will probably not survive, but I decided to keep all of them for now, surprisingly they had quite nice roots.

Paph. superbiens seedlings update

This superbiens gang from Ching Hua Orchids is so far the fastest growing seedlings I ever had. Not even 9 months out of the flask here they are:



I kept 13 seedlings out of this flask and  seems like they are doing good. Maybe will bloom in another year?

Paph. Carolyn Butcher seedlings update

I deflasked them in April 2014 so they are 20 months now. I have traded away about half of the flask and kept only a dozen of seedlings:



I think they look ok. The runts pot have some yellow leaves but they are the bottom ones, so I don't really worry about it.



I am trying to keep them in compots for as long as possible...

C. aurantiaca 'SVO' 4N x L. angereri 'Peter T.'

Here is what blooms in my tank now :





I got it as a small seedling from Clouds back in 2011. This is already second blooming. Last time it flowered in February 2015 and there were only 5 flowers. This time should be 12 blooms.

Paph. anitum flasklings update.

Still alive  and growing but leaves are coming out too narrow. I wonder why?
