Heather's Mexipedium xerophyticum has been in bloom for a long time and still blooming.

If anyone wants to sell me one...I can't seem to get it at a fair price in Canada

I think my Encyclia cochleate is going to bloom for the first time.

It looks like a spike coming out between the two leaves. The plant is in a small pot. Does anyone know when I should repot this orchid? There are several small bulbs trying to grow out the side and there is no more room for them. Do they like to be pot bound?

Elena are the tits, magpies and squirrels still visiting the park?

Phragmipedium Titanum are large and floriferous. It's old cross that now goes by as Urgandiae(lindleyanum x longifolium). When wet, mature Titanums vigorously reward owners with captivating labellums.

Phal Titillation Pink is also an older perky cross with Queen Emma and violacea. Queen Emma gives vigor and a sensual roundness to the blooms while retaining the luscious scent of violacea.

Trichocentrum Tits (Joy Lee Siewyang x lanceanum) is also a noticably attractive, hot grower.

...i couldn't help it

I would suggest leaving until after it flowers to repot it.. bu then again the only Encyclia cochleate I got died a slow miserable death!

PS: for epithets and such names, there CAN be multiple pronunciations (not always though). As in Bletia, it is typically pronounced Blee-tee-uh, but sometimes pronounced Blee-shu...

Thanks for the info guys, I don't know why I didn't just say cock when after all it can be reffering to a rooster!

Well, my endlessblooming orchids are surely Paphiopedilum lemianum ( in bloom against may 2006) and Keffersteinia tolimensis.

Sometimes i go so tired of see their flowers that i think difficult-flowering orchids are better...

Maybe you need a trial seperation from them? I'd be willing to take custody of them for a while

except I'm in Australia!
