My First Blooms

[Leisurely]

Beautiful! Number one is choice.

I think Odontoglossum Margaret Holm is the match.

The pictures here and here look very similar to yours.

By the way, it's amazing what the light can do to orchids. I also moved to a brighter apartment this year and other than keeping my plants watered enough, everyone is doing much better as far as flowering is concerned.
I'm happy for you!

I love your red twinkle in the white mug. I tend to do the same thing with any plant potted in 3 inch pots. They look so neat that way.

Thanks at first I didn't know what to do with extra tall 3" pots as most ceramic pots aren't tall enough but the mugs work perfectly.

I am happy with my new house - the light is making a great difference. I do find that I need to water more often. Took me some time readjust my routine.

My NoID Odm. Margaret Holm is in bloom again . It got bad sun damage while I was away for two weeks, so I had to remove one of the blistered p-bulbs. It rebound nicely and rewarded me with few blooms.

Yes, they do look identical. Thanks to everyone's input here, I have decided that Odm. Margaret Holm is what I have. I just keep NoId designation next to the tag.

I like Paph. Hsinying Maru x Paph. Ruby Mist the best. Great growing!

Your Margaret Holm has a nice bold pattern.
Wow~ you were gone for two weeks and they were all alive when you got back? lol

Just short of burning is the key I heard. I do burn a lot more leaves in my new apartment, but overall, the plants are doing much better.

Thanks Ron
All is well with me, just been really busy with work and home projects so I haven't been on OB lately. I try to check in once in a while

Thank you. It was my first Paph but unfortunately it didn't make it. It hanged on for ever making me think it was getting better, but eventually one by one each growth turned yellow and died. I'm just starting to recover from the loss and thinking of giving another Paph a try.
