Temperature drop is definitely important. My Den. lindleyi gets tortured and still blooms only irregularly for me. (its precious name was Den. aggretatum, Den. aggravatum is more like it).

L anceps is good down to freezing or a bit below if acclimated. You likely will want to bring in for the coldest winter months, when frost is likely. Once night temps get into the 40's F it will be...

L anceps tends to start spiking in the late summer. Then they'll root and grow after that. I find that the best time for repotting, mounting, etc. is anywhere from November to February (depending...

Another note in the Baker sheet - this species grows on limestome cliffs. It may need extra calcium. Many people use a top dressing of dolomite lime on Paphs from this type of environment. Also,...

Indeed doesn't look good. Very likely it's been hacked. orchidroots.org used to be an alternate domain name that worked, but now that one has been taken over by an unrelated outfit in Asia someplace.

I agree with Fairorchids and ES, the peloric Phals are very likely clones of the occasional "accidental" plant.

It looks very dry. Unlike many other orchids, Cyms HATE to go dry. They grow more like terrestrials than epiphytes though they can grow epiphytically.
