orchid

I have seen some orchid interest in the past here at TF, so I thought I would post up some other surplus plants I have. These are mounted -- one on cork bark the other on persimmon wood -- and are well established. Unfortunately, I was a bit aggressive in moving them to higher light conditions...

Hi Everyone, I don't have any pics yet but I attended an Orchid show today and picked up 2 new orchids. I've been interested in Orchids for a while, but up until today I've only ever had Phaelenopsis varieties. I've tried searching for more information on these varieties but there does not...

Just got a little care package from a friend and fellow member of both this forum and the orchid forum I frequent. Thanks again Dave S! First pic is Gongora rufescens, my favorite in the genus (at least in terms of looks), Second is two different cultivars of Neofinetia (now apparently Vanda)...

Orchids, by and large, are coveted by many for their exotic beauty. However, not all are so graced. Not exactly a “pretty face” – many folks find the flowers of Coryanthes to be rather grotesque or even obscene in appearance. Still, I find members of this genus to be fascinating in design and...

So my terrarium and outdoor pots look kind of bland, and I've always found orchids interesting. I noticed that they seem to have similar nutrient and soil requirements to CPs, so I was thinking of growing a few with CPs. I was thinking of a crane orchid for venus flytraps and sarracenia, and...

Apologies for some less than stellar photos ... was a bit rushed.

Up for auction is a couple feet off the top of this N. khasiana x viking*. I received it a couple years ago from another grower, and it's proceeded to take over my livingroom. I've gotten rid of numerous basals, but it's time for the top of it to get the chop. It's the one taking over the...

NoID Paphiopedilum orchid, free shipping! Here we have an easy grower and a reliable flowerer. He has lived my southern window sill for the last three years. First picture is not mine but the flower is almost identical. The second and third images feature the plant up for auction. Free...

Here are some pics of the reptiles, birds, non-cp's and others I found on this years trip. Check out the carnivores here: http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php/138194-Carnivorous-Plants-in-the-Wild-My-In-Situ-Explorations/page3?p=1172739#post1172739 Eriocaulon sp. Some Tillandisia...

Spring cleaning. . And I need the space. Orchid for trade is Lc.purple cascade 'sweet beauty' currently not in bloom. looking for sarracenia or other cps. (No nepenthes)

I have a bunch of these pseudo bulbs currently. Bulbophyllum cumingii has a chain of flowers that curve together to look like a partial pink daisy. Really neat flower. You can grow it in a fine bark mix or sphagnum moss or mount on a tree. It likes moisture and warm temperature. 3-4 of these...

Possibly this comes close to violating prohibitions on mentioning vendors, but I'll do it anyway. If it crosses a line it should be deleted. It seems sad that people in the SF Bay Area might be unaware of a local event which is a great opportunity to buy Nepenthes--simply because it is in...

So after being house plant-less for over 20 years... Within a month I have 2 high maintenance plants the CP's (mentioned in my welcome post) and this orchid.. Well that is what the plant looked like when I got it 1/25, where I won the table prize at a bridal shower.. I was told it was a...

I'm giving away a mounted multi-lead division of Isabelia (Neolauchea) pulchella, a small pendent epi/lithophyte from southern Brazil that is one of my favorite orchid species. Incredibly tolerant, it grows well in near-full sun to deep shade and temps of 32-100 F, as long as kept moist/humid...

So I got this orchid a week before Christmas and I hasn't grown at all. I deffenetly was not in the best shape when I got it. It came from a big box store on discount. Shouldn't it be growing new leaves and or flowers.

Okay -- enough is enough! :-( I've been deeply involved with CP, since I was about twelve or thirteen years old, I'm now fifty-eight, so that's ~45 years. Even before then, I was involved with orchids, the American Orchid Society and my local AOS chapters. Orchid people were very nomenclature...
