Iwanagaara Appleblossom
This is my Iwanagaara (Jackfowlieara) Appleblossom. I had wanted one of these for a few years. I love their delicate look. Finally I got this bare root as a seedling from H & R in Sept. 2010. This is its first bloom. Only 2 flowers but I am very happy with how they look and their size. It is nicely scented when the light is quite bright. Blooms are 3 inches wide.

Very nice. I have a few of them. In a fast draining medium (like lava rock) I have to water everyday. Keep them moist and humid and you'll get lots of buds. Some far I have only had 2 buds at a time ever open.

Hopefully yours will give you that nice cluster of flowers next season.

Thanks everyone. I'm really enjoying this one and think I will re-pot it as soon as I see some new growth. It's roots have gone a bit crazy!

Nice flowers. I love first blooms from orchids we try so hard to get growing well. So this is iwanagara? Please look at my post today and see if maybe the lookalike could be one. I don't have a name for the white/lavender flowers. I hope you get a lot more growth on this orchid and lots more blooms. It is very nice.

So this is an Iwanagawa? It looks like yours. I think it is very nice. 2010? Wow that is some nice growing. I love first flowerings. We work so hard to get them to grow and if all is well they delight us with flowers as exquisite as these. I don't have a name for mine so I will call it as yours. Thanks for showing this.
