I don't know what the problem is with me and Paphs, really. But it's like Tog said about Phrags (which I have no problem growing) - I just sit helplessly and watch them shrivel up and die.
On a more positive note: More orchids that I
can grow! It's a grab-bag this time.
Cattleya maxima - edible flowers, if a bit bitter. Wild, growing on a tree stump (Loja)
Caucaea alticola x mimetica - at the Quito Botanical Gardens
Rhynchostele spp - at the Quito Botanical Gardens.
Habenaria spp - wild, growing in an extinct volcanic crater (Pululagua)
Sobralia alba - wild, growing on the side of the road (Mera)
Xyllobium ornatum - wild collected; blooms once every 10 years. (Loja)
Odontoglossum crispum - wild, growing on a tree. (Nambillo)
Beloglottis costaricensis - Quito Orchid Expo
