This past weekend, I went to a little orchid show and came SO close to buying a Paph. Strawberries and Cream. It was a beautiful plant with many growths and a great price. I passed it by. I just couldn't do it until I get them figured out.  |
Keep trying until you get it right.
If you like these a lot, of course you have to have them!
I just wish I had a huge house to have as many as I want. oh, well...I'm not a lotto winner.
While I am not sure what you do wrong that these plants die on you, but summer heat in Florida can be too much for these. Seek shelter in the shade or try and keep them indoor with AC.
I think you could grow these outside during the winter as long as it does not freeze. They can take cool pretty well and it helps them to grow and flower better in general.
I would love to have a nice clone of Strawberry and Cream. Is Marriot Orchids still in business?

Well, it is an odd time for the complex hybrids to bloom, but they can bloom this late.
I hope you get a nice flower.
