Hiya orchidites! Seriously not intentionally spamming this forum but excited about flowers while on vacation. The Paphiopedilum ‘Fred’s Contrast’ has fully opened. Huzzah! For those of you who feel comfortable with phals and want to branch out into other orchids, consider picking up a paphiopedilum. They are thirstier but don’t need as much light. The flowers are unearthly looking and typically come in deep burgundies, soft pinks, bright greens and white, but you can probably find hybrids in almost every color except blue… never blue. The modeled leaves make for a lovely plant when not in bloom. And it’s kinda a plus that their preferred media is more like “normal” houseplants. Or pick up an oncidium. I love them and you will too.
