Multifloral Paphs

[uncasteeb]

I think it,s very unlikely that it will grow new buds , i would say impossible but there is bound to be some instances of it happening.
Do what most of the orchid obsessed do in this situation ... buy several more to ease the pain

Thanks for the info uncast. Now I finally know what's going on with my susan booth.

I was also just wondering, since I suspect that an orchid show is coming up soon, what would be a good choice for my next multifloral? Or should I try a flask. The main guy who sells multiflorals brings them from overseas, with flasks that cost about $65, which is a lot over here. Should I try my luck with a normal paph flask? You see i've never deflasked before.

Oh yes, uncast. I took up orchidgrowing to learn patience.

Booliesmom, sorry to hear bout your paph.

ARRG!!!!

Just went to the vendors website and found out that a susan booth that's about a year away from flowering costs only about $6 more than what I paid.

Btw, my one's name is Susan Booth (rothschildianum 'Charles Everitt.' FCC/AOS x praestans 'Knob Creek' AM/AOS ). It says that you should expect a very large, vigorous plant!

Well thats the same as mine(actual leaf span is 26" & still growing) so it,s got some growing to do.
Plants probably originated from Radcliffes , i,ve seen this cross offered in the Uk & US.

It's indeed from ratcliffe's. Btw, how long have you had yours?

Only a few months so cannot comment yet on growth rate(bet that is what you wanted to know ).

Your multifloral paph need high light close to Cattleya conditions and warm temperature to grow fast. I grow them under HID lighting and the temperature is 75 - 85 F day and night is around 68 - 72 F year round. My roth seedling from flask two years ago are about 15 inches in leafspan.
