View Full Version : The perfect micranthum?
Paphy57 January 16th, 2011, 07:46 PM It's pretty close!
My Paph. micranthum v. eburneum received a 79pt HCC on Saturday, and I think it is a great example of the species. Here is one of my pictures of it.

JPMC January 17th, 2011, 05:54 AM Very nice!
How do you grow it?
phragmip January 17th, 2011, 08:11 AM This one is so unique looking I love it! Is it difficult to grow?
Paphy57 January 17th, 2011, 12:10 PM Extremely nice flower, how old is the plant?
It's a three growth plant. All three growths have bloomed now. I've had it for a few years.
Very nice!
How do you grow it?
Like my other parvi's. 75F day, 60F night. My humidity is low, ~30% but I want it around 55-60%. Fertilized weakly about every week. Micranthum is defintely not the easiest parvi to grow and bloom, that's for sure!
This one is so unique looking I love it! Is it difficult to grow?
It's probably one of the most difficult to grow well out of all the parvi's but it can be done.
newbie January 17th, 2011, 05:29 PM Very beautiful flower and now I want one but I would probably kill it.
Paul B January 17th, 2011, 07:35 PM oh wow thats very very nice!!! i like it a lot!!
orchidlover January 17th, 2011, 09:30 PM How gorgeous! Congratulations!
Paphy57 January 17th, 2011, 09:42 PM Very beautiful flower and now I want one but I would probably kill it.
I've killed one before too. One of my first Paphs. At least it was a cheap plant!
jblanford January 17th, 2011, 11:32 PM WOW!! Nick, that is just 'AWESONE', good growing & thanks.... Jim.
Rocco January 18th, 2011, 10:31 AM You have a great example of this species. Awesome!
Quaker January 18th, 2011, 11:49 AM What a beautiful micranthum. Lovely shape and fantastic colour.
Well done.

Ninja January 18th, 2011, 02:18 PM I have never seen a paph flower like this one before and it is really different looking. The pouch looks way too large and I assume that is normal since you won an award for it? Congratulations by the way!
phragmip January 18th, 2011, 04:00 PM It's probably one of the most difficult to grow well out of all the parvi's but it can be done.
Then these I'm sure must be quite rare and expensive?
skipper January 18th, 2011, 08:39 PM Congratulations. Very beautiful flower.
Slipperguy January 18th, 2011, 11:52 PM Wow...fantastic!:congrat:

orchidlover February 3rd, 2011, 11:55 AM To me it looks just perfect. Beautiful shape, markings and everything I love it!
Paphraguy February 12th, 2011, 03:06 PM Beautiful!
PaphGuy September 4th, 2011, 01:01 AM If you compare to the micranthums in the late 80s (many of them were wild ones), this one lack of flatness in the petals and dorsal. In addition, the shape of the petals can be much more rounder.
The color, however, is excellent. The typical micranthum do not have color in the dorsal, the good ones do have color.
I think HCC is suitable for this plant.
