Bulb falcatum "Clairgreen"

[scarloc]

Sorry I am fairly new to the orchids area but last summer Drew convinced us to go to Clouds and we picked up a few odd ones that we liked to try out. Out of the 5 we got we managed not to kill three and they are doing quite well the Phaph is spiking now This one flowered springish and has more then doubled in size in a year so I must be doing something right. Actually as I look at it it is also spiking again.

Here are the flowers from last year cool little plant. Going to do some reading here as I believe I need to re pot this one soon.

Very pretty.

A nice thing with B. falcatum is that so many flowers open a the same time, while many species from the section only have few opening simultaneously. Another nice thing is that the flowers are usually quite colorful, just like yours.

Regards,

Awesome, I love this clone, I have three clones of falcatum and they all seem to be good easy plants and multiply very quickly.

This is a species that I've had trouble find what species match what variety and what varieties are valid.

Hope to see more of your plants!

Well done!
I hope mine flowers soon...it was given to me from another grower and we are not sure if it is a species or a hybrid...patience is a must

I got a seed pod off of it last year (on its own not my doing) but am not equipped to do anything with it and tossed it. If I get one this year I will happily send it to someone.

Got it in a 2"ish pot of pure sphag right now and am as of yet undecided on what to change it to as all the new bulbs are just floating in the air. I think I will wait until it stops spiking before I touch it though.

I so find that falcatum will get random pods on it.

Once it's finished flowering would be the best time to repot, don't be shy to post pictures for help.
