Heather's Mexipedium xerophyticum has been in bloom for a long time and still blooming.

If anyone wants to sell me one...I can't seem to get it at a fair price in Canada

I think my Encyclia cochleate is going to bloom for the first time. :biggrin: It looks like a spike coming out between the two leaves. The plant is in a small pot. Does anyone know when I should repot this orchid? There are several small bulbs trying to grow out the side and there is no more room for them. Do they like to be pot bound?:hmm

chickadee orchids
 
Elena are the tits, magpies and squirrels still visiting the park?:biggrin:

Phragmipedium Titanum are large and floriferous. It's old cross that now goes by as Urgandiae(lindleyanum x longifolium). When wet, mature Titanums vigorously reward owners with captivating labellums.

Phal Titillation Pink is also an older perky cross with Queen Emma and violacea. Queen Emma gives vigor and a sensual roundness to the blooms while retaining the luscious scent of violacea.

Trichocentrum Tits (Joy Lee Siewyang x lanceanum) is also a noticably attractive, hot grower.



...i couldn't help it:lol:

I would suggest leaving until after it flowers to repot it.. bu then again the only Encyclia cochleate I got died a slow miserable death! :roll:

Pronunciation:
Cochlopetalum - Cock-low-pet-a-lum

-Pat

PS: for epithets and such names, there CAN be multiple pronunciations (not always though). As in Bletia, it is typically pronounced Blee-tee-uh, but sometimes pronounced Blee-shu... ;)


Thanks for the info guys, I don't know why I didn't just say cock when after all it can be reffering to a rooster! :scratchhead: :biggrin:

Well, my endlessblooming orchids are surely Paphiopedilum lemianum ( in bloom against may 2006) and Keffersteinia tolimensis.

Sometimes i go so tired of see their flowers that i think difficult-flowering orchids are better...:evil:

:lol: Maybe you need a trial seperation from them? I'd be willing to take custody of them for a while :nod: except I'm in Australia! :biggrin:
