Phal. violacea var. alba II is growing

Phal. violacea var. alba II had her newest leaf damaged and cut off. Now there is a new leaf start:



Aerial root that appeared stalled on arrival now shows active green point.
I guess it is adjusting well to my environment.

Can't wait for orchidarium to get here so I wouldn't have to run around all these humidity trays (rolling eyes).

Psychopsis versteegiana update

My small psycho seedling grew a nice and cute pseudobulb with clean perfect leaf:



Old leaves got some black patches that don't spread but do look quite ugly, so this new clean leaf is a good sign. I do make sure to keep it away from the sun because leaves get scorched by it a lot.

New bulb also got some nice roots:



I wonder how far from blooming this guy stands.

PS. Picture of the ugly black patches on the older leaves to follow up the conversation in the comments area. What is it?

Bulbophyllum ambrosia update

After discovering scale on bulbo ambrosia, it was isolated from other orchids and wiped with alcohol several times.
Good thing - there is not much to wipe, no creases or crevises.



Looks like scale was successfully eradicated.

New bulb grows healthy and happy followed by the group of nice fresh roots:



Life is good again!

Here is a close up of the sphagnum moss soaked with water:



I just thought it was kind of cool...

Laelia tenebrosa II problem

This purplish-brownish patch on the pseudobulb of my new laelia tenebrosa. I was thinking it is a sunburn:



When I received the plant, I put it on my south-east window with other catts and this pseudobulb was looking directly on the sun. Well, I never saw sunburns on my cattleyas, but it does look like a patch on one of my vanda seedlings that got burned by sun for sure. On the other hand, as far as my knowledge extends - it might be some nasty rot.
So, at this point I am not sure if I should leave it alone or is it better to cut off the pseudobulb in question or even throw away the whole plant(I would like to avoid this option though).

Any suggestions, please?

On a happy note - there are multiple roots starts on the newest pseudobulb that is healthy for now:

Paphiopedilum wenshanense

After blasting a perfect bud in sheath on the main fan (right part of the plant) paph wenshanense took a break and didn't grow anything for a while.
Now I am noticing slight increase in the size of the second growth(left part of the plant).



This brachy paph species was considered a natural hybrid of concolor and bellatulum for a while, but then was given a status of the species on its own.

As all brachypetalums it is supposed to be finicky, but it doesn't give too much trouble to me. Bud blasting was totally my fault: during mites attack I was spraying all my paphs with miticide continuosly leaving too much of it standing in the sheath creases. Two paphs took a hit and blasted buds at that point - wenshanense and emersonii.
To be honest I was more sorry for the emersonii bud because it is so slow growing that I might be not around to see the next bud forming and wenshanense looks good even without flowers with nicely mottled leaves.

Anyway, just wanted to log the progress...
