Bilambil = (Paphiopedilum Ayjay x Paphiopedilum Paeony), 1983, no awards yet. Your clonal name is probably just an indication of its origin.

Old? you say old.

Indeed, old it is. The crosss: (Paphiopedilum Atlantis x Paphiopedilum Lady Mohur) dates from 1949, when I was only three years old and knew next to nothing about orchids.:blushing:

I was there, judging. Thanks for the pics, they bring back happy memories of giving all those ribbons. There were 17 exhibits, mostly table-top, and many, many spring bloomers. There were two or...

Since it came from a long time ago, it is probably Honey, which I have as well. It can be darker or even more yellow, depending on the parents and the ambient light. It should bloom for a long time,...

Hi Rhonda, Ted here. I agree with you about not being able to award a flower from a picture (digital or otherwise), but Des, we also have to judge texture and substance, as well as arrangement and...

Alcohol

Very simple. It is a readily available molecule in the wild, and orchids seem to like it. I read somewhere (and then heard from certain growers) that epiphytes seem to dote on it in very dilute...

I like the fact that Camille mentioned latitude. Sheer hight would not limit many adapted plants, but water and day length (light) will limit any photosynthesis and produce stunted growth or none at...

Hey guys, I must be doing something right. Not only is this plant reblooming on old growth, but there is a new bud and many new growing leaves. I could have as many as three or four (or more) flowers...

Kiki,
I have quite a few of these, and I've been growing them (mostly leaves: you are right about not blooming, they are rather shy) for nearly ten years.
Here's what I see. The pitting can have...

Terri, one thing to add to the discussion. The stem will straighten up and the flower should develop normally, if the light is mostly from above, and if you do not move the plant from its position....

Yes, Helen. I hate to see collections broken up, but more than that, I really dislike seeing good clones go by the wayside. Does the owner have any favorite rebloomers? The dogs that refuse to bloom...

First, I'm assuming you've never 'cut back' before. Here is one way of doing it, with a warning. Get something sharp, like a razor blade, not scissors (which crush the stem rather than...

Paul,
They rebloom off the same spike, so do not cut it. I grow mine outside during the season (March-Oct. in Houston) where it is very humid. However, during the cold months I have them inside. The...
