A Couple of Blooms - Orchid Board

Paph. delenatii opened earlier this week and Den. Frosty Dawn has been in bloom for about 3 weeks. I waited for the lip color to develop fully before taking the pic. Last year it gave me 2 blooms. This year I have 10 open and one bud still developing. Thanks for looking!

Awsum, Terri. Almost makes me want to try these guys again (the Dendros, that is.) It looks like a Nobile type I?

Ross this is actually in the Nigo-hirsute group. No winter rest, but a slight "pause" in fall. I'm growing it intermediate, & bright light. This is the one that is a hybrid between a group IV and V. I'm growing it like a V. It's been an easy grower for me, I'm sure it would do even better for you!

Ooops meant to say this is a biggie Ross, probably 24" tall minimum. Den. Iki is very similar, but a mini.

Sorry, too big

Thanks Terri. Nice blossoms anyway, think I'll just enjoy your photos.

Paph. delenatii was one of the few paphs I liked enough to try to grow -- it didn't make it. Ah well...

Paul, it might be worth trying again...

That Den. is easy peasy! It even bloomed for me when my culture was crappy. It's so happy now it's blooming like crazy. I think it's one of my favorites from my whole collection. It smells kind of like orange sherbet or a 50/50 Bar.
