[OGD] Enc./Epi. fragrans

I have two plants, one is called Encyclia fragrans, the other one Epidendrum fragrans. One flowers in spring/summer and the other one in autumn/winter, about 6 months apart. The flowers look the same. Each inflorescense carries 4-5 flowers. The summer plant is bigger in all aspects. The bulbs are

[OGD] Arachnis flos-aeris

Even here in sunny Cape Town my plant had to grow to 2 mtrs. tall to flower for the first time. It grows in full sun under clear polycarbon the whole year round and flowers mostly in winter/spring. Temperature is probably not so important, but full sun. Peter Hieke Bloubergstrand

[OGD] Phal. micholitzii

Hi Charles, I have Phal. micholitzii in my collection and I grow it on the warm side, that is winter night temps at 18/21: C. In summer the nights are usually around 18: C and the days at 28/34: C range. I have the plant now for 6 months and it grew 2 new leaves. It has 11 leaves and 5

[OGD] Plaqued Phal species

Hi All, I had the same problems that Phal species grew poorly on any base that I used to mount Phal species on. Now since I'm using poystyrene blocks coated with cement (see AOS ORCHIDS January 2003 Pg 12) my species grow like wild. It is amazing to see how the roots attach themselves, like glued
