Successful Parvi Growers, share info!

[quiltergal]

I had a Yellow Magic which is Norito Hasegawa crossed back to armeniacum. It was a very slow grower for me, and I was able to flower it once. The flower was actually quite nice. It's now living with JeremyinSF. I also have a Lynleigh Koopowitz that was a rescue plant. It has not done much at all. I think I need to repot it and see if that doesn't kick start it. Maybe it is taking forever because it was so stressed when I bought it.

I love Vanda M. Pearman! Wish I had one! I think it has such a lovely flower.

The only problem with Parvis is the flowers typically don't last as long as some of the other sections. 4 weeks seems to be the max for mine.

Yellow Magic was one of the plants I wanted to buy this past weekend, but the plant didn't look healthy, so I didn't buy it. There is also Norito Hasegawa crossed back to malipoense (Nori's Song), which is also nice and probably easier to grow and bloom.

I already have healthy single growth Lynleigh Koopowitz, but I was really tempted to pick up more just to increase my chance of getting flowers I want.
There were two multi-growth plants available at the show, but they were both crappy plants with brown rust on some leaves.

My Armeni White lasts about one month, so I guess I have to live with that. hahaha

Ho Chi Min is the worst I heard. I find the flower pretty, but after reading about the bloom life span, I was like, forget it.

I bought paph. Vanda M. Pearman just because it looked so healthy and I was dreaming and hoping it would make flowers I like.

If I ever see flowers on mine and I don't like it, you can have it. if you like, of course.

Why did you give away Yellow Magic??

I know that you are talking about artificial hybrids, but the requirements for species within this section varies quite a bit. P. micranthum and P. armeniacum are difficult for me.

Yeah, I am not into species, but I know all the details about where they live and all.

I just want cultivation information from others who does well with these. species and hybrids.
