Brand: The Orchid Gallery
This hybrid orchid is one of the easiest to grow, and will produce stunningly beautiful flowers, with stripes in the dorsal and spots in the petals. One from this batch has already received an HCC from the American orchid Society. The breeding is Paphiopedilum Friedrich von Hayek 'Lehua Quiet Elegance' HCC/AOS x Paph. Wood Wonder 'OZNote 1,' but unless you're really into orchid breeding, you can pretty much ignore that and just enjoy the flowers when it blooms. And if you are into breeding, take it to judging and get an AM! These have several growths and they are freshly repotted in 3.5 inch pots. You can expect flowers within 12 months or so, which is our definition of blooming size. Makes a nice addition to any paph collection. Paphs make great house plants because they are easy to grow -- moderate to low light, keep from drying out completely, fertilize weakly every three or four weeks. Good air movement helps. Use distilled water now and again to wash away salts in the mix. Repot once a year. We have a bunch of these and we always ship the largest. We guarantee customer satisfaction on arrival.
