Orchid Friends in JAPAN (NO.1) |
| In this page, I want to introduce orchid friends who grow and/or love Paphs in Japan. I want friends who can send Paphots of not only Paphs but also yourself and greenhouse to contribute in this page. I'm waiting your contribution of growing Paphs on windowsill also. |
（１）Mr. Atsushi Okuda Hokkaido |
| Hokkaido, No Society Member. Experience of growing orchids : 21 years Paphiopedilum growing : 7 years ( after being enthusiastic) The first Paphiopedilum of my having grown is Paph. insigne sanderae of 300 yen when I was 12 years old. e-mail：okuefn@exfor.agr.hokudai.ac.jp |
| As I don't have my own greenhouse, I'm growing about 180 pots of Paphs containing young plants, about 70% of them are Brachypetalum, in 2 of Green Boxes in my living room. In this cases, Paphs are fllowing out. So I grow other Paphs and orchids in the Greenhouse of my working place. As I live in an official residence, the space is not enough for me and orchids. I use almost of all windowsill. For the growing, I beware of growing them in direct sun shine because Hokkaido is northest in Japan and the sun shine is not enough, making stronger fan for them , prepareing compost which is easy to dry and spraying plants so offen. The temperature in the cases is from 13 C to 30 C. I take care that it should be bellow 20 C at night. In Hokkaido, it will be bellow - 30 C outside in winter. But in the living room, it is warm enough. And it will be cool enough in Summer, too. So we can grow Paphs easier than you think. |

Denehurst ' Surprise' AM/RHS |
|
| NS 13.5cm, Width of Petaｌ5.0cm, Width of Dosal Sepal 9.0cm. Very old selected and wellknown clone. The shape might not be enough comparing to the selected clones in these days. But I love the developement of Dosal and ventral sepal that is beautiful as the back grand of the pouch. I want to use this clone as the parents for new hybrids. |

Deception II |
| NS 10.1cm, Width of Peatal 4.8cm . It is good size, I guess. It may be no good for petal to develope unbalance so that we see it not so big. |
