What have I got?
Hi folks,
I picked up this orchid in the bargain bin at the garden center for 2 Euros because they thought it was done flowering for the year. It had one more in it, it turns out! What is it? Obviously some kind of paph, but can it be narrowed down any farther? Thanks, Katrina http://www.xs4all.nl/~cooper17/katri...opedalumSm.jpg |

Thanks, Katrina http://www.xs4all.nl/~cooper17/katri...opedalumSm.jpg I think this is a Paph of the cochlopetalums group (search this page for the word 'cochlopetalum' for a bit more info http://ladyslipper.com/1stpaph.htm ). There are several hybrids within that group that look very much alike (at least to my inexperienced eye). The Paphs in this group are sequential bloomers, which means that as they loose one flower, another one opens. I know that Paph Pinocchio is for example a common hybrid. I have a Paph Amelia Hart 'Alexandria' from this group. I really enjoy it. It is on its third flower currently and the vendor told me that it could have as many as 12 flowers sequentially on one spike. What I enjoy about the Paph Amelia Hart is what I jokingly call the changing of the guard. When it decides that its done with a flower, the blossom fades a bit and then abruptly falls off, and at roughly the same time the next one opens. I hope yours will bring you as much joy as mine brings me. Best, Joanna Thank you! I'll look at that site right away. This orchid was sitting in the bargain bin with a green stem but only spots where there had been flowers along it, and one dried-out looking, immature bud at the tip. It was not labeled. It sat here for about 6 weeks looking exactly like that, then suddenly the bud matured and opened over a period of two days, and has been a nice flower for two weeks now. I expect this will be the last flower for the year, as there's nowhere left to "go" on the stem. --Katrina |

I was going to guess Pinocchio too... Or Pinocchio x primulinum (Avalon Mist? Haven't installed Wildcatt on this computer yet...). It is cute. Rob |

This thread inspired me to research the paph cochlopetalum group a bit more,
and here are some of the links that I found. I started out with the hope to learn more about the different species in this group to be able to differentiate them better, but I fear that I have given up on that idea. While some of these species are a bit more distinct than the others, I think this is in general a subgenus that has species with a lot of similarities, and since there are also a lot of hybrids that look similar, and there is some variability even among siblings of the same seed capsule, I have given up on the idea of trying to differentiate these, and have decided to just enjoy them. Some of these sites are good for either photos or information or both for other orchids as well. I hope you enjoy them too.

You've come to the same conclusion I have about this group. My personal opinion is that there are perhaps two or three really distinct species, and the rest are just varieties (if that) of these. I've bloomed a lot of these and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference without the tag. Which leads me to believe that there isn't any real difference. I suspect this is compounded by taxonomic confusion and propagation. Many 'varieties' of the same species were crossed together, and sold as the species. Of course this was before those varieties were promoted to species rank. So... you have a lot of plants out there labeled as species which are actually (by current RHS registration criteria) actually primary hybrids. Again, I suspect that if they are that similar they really aren't distinct species, but I'm not a taxonomist. Rob -- Rob's Rules: http://www.msu.edu/~halgren 1) There is always room for one more orchid 2) There is always room for two more orchids 2a. See rule 1 3) When one has insufficient credit to purchase more orchids, obtain more credit LittlefrogFarm is open - e-mail me for a list ) |

wrote: Found this all dried up set out in someone's trash. Brought it home, potted it in my cymbidium mix and it's perked up. Looks like an orchid of some type. I don't know what it is. I grow cymbidiums. It looks diseased??? or are the discolorations from neglect? Will it grow outdoors in semi-shade as my cym.'s do? (Southern Calif. coast) It has a tag that reads: #120 Blc. (Gold of Old x Marita) X Blc. Gorgeous Gold Here's a photo http://tinyurl.com/3t33j What advice can you give me? Grace Grace - It will not like the cold that the Cym can take. When the nights get below 55 it will have to be indoors. It would probably prefer it closer to 60. The mix needs to drain better than the cym. So water it lightly. Let it dry out more than you would for your Cym. IT has had so much trauma I would give it a rest say 3 months of Cym or slightly lower light. Then repot with less particulate matter in the bark mix. Less of the stuff that is small and holds water. Then you can try a little more light (gently, they can sunburn) until after several weeks you have it in close to full light. Do not let the leaves get warm from the sun. That will be burn. Do work it into bright light. If it recovers it should bloom earlier in the fall. Marita is a Stewart cross and Gorgeous Gold is a Jones and Scully cross but I can not find anything under Gold of Old. There is an LC Gold that just lists S and 1937 as the hybridizer. Sorry. We can only guess that it will look like a Cattleya flower and be in the yellow or yellow gold tones... best guess. Good save and good luck growing it.

(in article . net): http://tinyurl.com/3t33j The tag tells you that it's a brassolaeliocattleya, not a cymbidium. The leaves look well hydrated, and the only spot I can make out looks like sunburn. It would do best in a coarse bark or inorganic medium plus or minus charcoal and perlite, with higher light than your cyms would appreciate. Allow it to dry between waterings, and fertilize 1/4 strength every watering, with occasional plain water flush. Tom Walnut Creek, CA Nikon CP 5700 |
