The 3 Amigos.glaucophylum, pinnochio and spiceranium

[RJSquirrel]

in order

the glaucophylum went in full hydroton. kind of an experiment and it worked. got bloom and 3 buds behind it . Which in some odd way proves it doesn't matter what you plant these paphs in as long as you dont hose em down all the time

I only have 4 paphs blooming right now but I do have 3 more RE Blooming paphs on the way!!

Paph Robert de Veer '#10' x hsinying

Paph. (Yerba Buena 'White Cap' HCC/AOS x In-Charm White)

and Paph Makuli Curtisii...

coming soon!!! to the only orchid board thats makes a difference!@!

Beautiful blooms! That vase for the hydroton makes for an interesting presentation.

I'm so jealous! I only have one Paph!

[RJSquirrel]

you will have more and thanks mister bean

The vase was empty. When I went to re pot the glauco, it had one long root wrapped around the pot. I just couldnt wad it back up and stuff it. So I gently straightened it out and put it in the vase..The root is almost as long as the vase is tall. just a little rainwater in it and roll it around some ever day and its seem quite happy

one even mentioned long ago, maybe we should be planting these paphs a little deeper ...

Great blooms! I didn't realize how long glaucophylum spikes could get!

Beautiful RJ, all of those orchids look so happy. Interesting work with planting the first one in LECA in the tall square vase. Do you have to tip it over each time you water it to drain out the water? I bet in a few months the whole thing is filled with roots. Great presentation.
