Over the weekend we have added our first Paphiopedilum orchid. I have been a little indimdated by these orchids. But Sat. at the Formers Market one of the orchid vendors had this guy for $15. So I decided it was time to give it a shot. The bloom has not opened yet so I do not know what it looks like. But we are only days away. Right now to me it looks like a little head with a helmet on. This Paphiopedilum orchid is a Paph Raisen Pie 'Hsinying' X SIB Paph. Supersuk 'Eureka'. The leaves are different colorsthey are very interesting. I have included a shot of them. So here it is and as soon as that bloom opens I will post an update.
Well being born in a paradise like I was here in South Florida I have always taken all of my tropical plants and palms around me for granted. Just recently realizing how lucky I am. I'm going to take full advantage of this tropical climate. This blog is going to show all of my trials and tribulations with growing different species of plants and trees. Feel free to check back regularly and watch my plants grow.
