Friday Orchid Blogging

Paph. Adilene Bobadilla 'Rossilyn' x Honeycomb Creek 'Butterdish' AM/AOS

This little guy is a bit messed up this time around. He's flowered before, quite well in fact, but something happened this time, whether it was a pesticide I used, or changing temperature, or the change in humidity, but the flower got a bit deformed. It's still pretty cool. Now is the season for a lot of paphs (this type of orchid) to bloom, and in fact I have two more that are just starting to grow flower sheaths (and the ones coming are the really cool ones that have multiple flowers at once and look kind of like military gliders crossed with evil bats). Might be a few months until they fully bloom, but stay tuned.

Enjoy.
