THE HYBRID MINI PHALAENOPSIS VIDEO

My Phalaenopsis MINI hybeid flowering video.

THE FLOWER BUDDING ORCHID TABLE

Table Numero Uno this one.

Again like the last post, sorry. I was uploading a test video to YouTube when I suddenly remembered I had not linked in the latest videos!

I have more on the camera as well as this and the last one and I do have a couple of films to do tomorrow!

Also there should be a few to many new arrivals this year too!! Plus my very unusual Phalaenopsis is in bud as is my miniature Phalaenopsis! These two were the only to Phalaenopsis left I had not managed to get flowering again due to being neglected due to one thing or another!

Well I will be honest down to the government and their public services in all honesty being damned laxy and bloody greedy with it and with delusions of grandeur! In fact that is the topic of my other blog along with corruption, asaintcalledallnights.blogspot.com, and there may now be an end to just one branch of my endeavours in corruption that may well see this blog and many others get a fantastic boost throughout 2014?!

Well that is unless they typically drag their feet or the question is only a cruel wind up question that gets your hopes up and then destroys them?!

But then I stated from day zero on thet blog that despite every avenue I go hurtling down and regardless of what proof and evidence I acquire all services are designed to come to naught?! Ergo I believe this one will come to naught as well!

Well I have been posting for nigh on nineteen months now and thus far I have proven myself to be correct, the idea being that no one would nor could acquire the evidence and proof that I have. Ergo if I cannot reach a happy solution to each one then what chance do the public have? PLus these are run with British taxpayers money too! I just show that they quite obviously do nothing and show it to anyone who is interested, lol.

Would be nice to be proved wrong in a big way for once!

Now my Orchid Table under the stairs has been busy and for a long while too producing spikes and flower buds. This video was from like a week or so ago and currently a couple are in flower here. Plus I have another couple in flower too and will film them tomorrow morning to be posted up on YouTube between tomorrow and the weekend. Fingers crossed something does not come up or my sieve for a brain does not act up as it normally does?!

Now hopefully my Denbrobium victoriae-reginae will start flowering soon and my Trichoglottis pusila will start to grow faster?! I have already seen a new leaf which you may see in the video and if not I will focus on it in the next one wich will probably be tomorrow that I film it?

LOL...

Now I hoe I have the right video...

TO FLOWER ORCHIDS AND AVOID GAS FIRES

A few pictures in case I forgot to post them up.

Have a few Orchids that are not far from flowering so at last soime activity on here and on my YouTube account will start to take effect, lol.

Dendrobium victoriae-reginae

Phalaenopsis Mini Hybrid spiking for the first time. As is the only other Phalaenopsis that I have not yet flowered. Many of my Orchids refused to flwer for a long period. This was me feeling sorry for an idiot and offereing my help which was not only taken but then abused in many ways.

That will not happen again I assure you. ;)

MINI PHAL SPIKE... This will be pink! Yes I know I am a guy but was the only bloody colour they had! Well yes I would have BOUGHT a WHITE ONE if they had one! LMAO!

These flowers went pure white and then died of before opening up completely. It also happened to the Dendrobium victoriae-reginae too and at the exact same time. There was a factor involved and this was a Calor Gas fire. I now do not use it as I did and moved it upstairs.

So just in case you think that a gas fire must be better because it will be warmer then no! Do not do it! Luckily it did not harm the plants themelves.

Since removing the gas fire from where it was to another floor one of the canes on my Dendrobium victoriae-reginae seems to have found some energy?! It seems to be growing up and will grow a bit more as the tip has two big leaves with two new leaves appearing next to them! You will normally get a new spurt of growth due to the pars of leaves appearing in nodes, which are normally at least an inch apart or more.

MINIATURE HYBRID PHALAENOPSIS

This is a very small miniature Phalaenopsis HYBRID that when I saw I had to buy because of its diminutive size?!

To give you an idea that large leaf on the left of the picture is also a hybrid Phalaenopsis I bought at a supermarket store! That is only one third of the leaf in the picture too!!

LMAO!

So a very small and as you can see very healthy, and wet, Phalaenopsis miniature I have had about three years, got a bit neglected year before last, and I now hope will flower. Though as the only available flower colour was not my favourite pink it will be more a sense of achievement than anything else.

Before you curse me I DID state MORE and not ONLY, lol.

Also if you think this is small for a Phalaenopsis miniature how about a Phalaensopsis TINY and NOT a hybrid?!

Yes my Phalaenopsis parishii, also blessed with the cursed pink flowers, is about HALF this size?! Probably find that it is from this species, and probably Phalaenopsis equestris, that these miniature hybrids are produced from. Also highly likely why the flowers seem to be exclusively pink.

There is a white one with a bit of orange that I had intended to order last year and did not! Damn it whatr was it called?!?!?! Anyway it has given me an idea and I may place an order for a couple of plants in the next few weeks?!?!

I think of the whole plant as a pseudobulb between the leaves and the stem.

Healthy smooth leaves and tall fattish stem, especially when the plant is side on, and I see this as fully watered and fed.

In plants deprived of water in Phalaenopsis if the leaves look slightly shrivelled I then look to the stem and study it side on. If it looks skinny I then know I have a lot of work to do if I buy the plant from a store!
