Is alba Paphs your cup of tea?

Here are two easy to grow brachy albas. Both were grown from flasks and it does not take much time for them to bloom.
The angthong and godefroyae took about 16 and 21 months respectively from flask.

Unable to grow Pravis? Try their hybrids.

The sub genus Parvisepalum are found mainly in North Vietnam, South West Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and Guangdong.
They prefer a much cooler temperature to thrive. Species like delenatii, ermersonii, malipoense and hangianum are able grow and bloom if we give them a cool treatment (air condiioning). However species like armeniacum and micranthum prefer a much cooler temperature.
If you are unable to grow them, try some of their hybrids. Some of these hybrids do not need any special care.
Below are two hybrids with Brachy from my collection.
The hangianum x Greyi hybrid still retains some fragrance which is the characteristic of hangianum.
The armenianum x godefroyae (Kiryu) is a nice and large hybrid. Two of my plants have a NS of 10 cm across. It retains the dominant yellow colour of armeniacum

Brachy Flowering Season

It is Brachy flowering season now. Normally their peak flowering season is between April to July. However some still bloom outside this peak period as early as January and as late as December.
In the flowering cluster you will find godefroyae, godefroyae alba, niveum and angthong alba. The individual photos are some of the close up shot from the flowering cluster,
