Default Sunny Monday
Despite my Erwinia scourge, I do have some Phals in flower and thought you'd all enjoy some winter color.

Some Phals in bloom? That's actually a lot!! So how did your bout with Erwinia end? Did you lose many plants? I wasn't on internet much at the time so didn't follow your thread beyond the initial posts.

Lovely Paph (Pinocchio?), you took a really nice photo of it.

Camille, I lost probably close to 20 ~25 plants that either out and out rotted or got crown rot and unless I get very lucky and get some base keikis they are dead, too.


The last Paph is Paph chamberlainiaium

Yes, I have 3 fans at the other end and the heater has a fan of its own. the infection started last summer while the plants were outside.

You lost that many??? Wow, that's really really rough, it must have been beyond devastating. I guess they'll be summering elsewhere then, a repeat infection would not be fun. At least you still have all of these beautiful healthy Phals blooming for you
