Paphiopedilum M. Koopowitz seedlings repotting
I tried to keep them undisturbed for as long as I could and they appear to grow pretty fast, but there is just so much time before bark gets old and wet and keeps too much moisture. Especially in the humid tank with 85-90% RH.
So, I had to repot my Paph. M.Koopowitz seedlings into fresh bark:

Cattleya aurantiaca 'SVO 4N' x Laelia angereri 'Peter T.' bloomed in my orchid tank
Only 6 months since last blooming and here it is again. My aurantiaca x angereri cattleya flowers again.
I grew this plant from small seedling that came from Cloud's and kind of proud that could bloom it all by myself.
Strange that this cross is not registered yet, I have it for 4-5 years already.
Really like this plant.

My recently purchased vandopsis plants
I decided to try to grow vandopsis because vandas and phalaenopsis are working good for me and I really like appearance of the vandopsis orchids. Of course I never seen blooming one in person
but pictures on the web show them beautifully. I think they are even better in real life, considering fragrance too.
Anyway, when I saw some seedlings on Clouds website - I have ordered three of them: vandopsis parishii, parishii var mariottiana and gigantea. They have been in my tank for about a month now and here is an update on how they are doing:
