Phrag Memoria Garren Weaver. These are all outside for the summer.
Paph. Deperle.
Paph. Avalon Mist. Couldn't quite get a satisfactory photo.I also have a few in bud: Paph Wossner Armenijack, Paph Joyce Hasegawa x chamberlainianum, and Phal Maki Watanabe. I haven't moved those outside yet, because I'm afraid the buds will drop. Once the flowers open they will be moved.

These are beautiful. Do they have any problems outside--like in a giant rainstorm? Or perhaps where you live the rainstorms aren't so bad as they are in Chicago... Do you leave them in their pots and just put them outside?
Blondie,
I live in the Canadian prairies, where it probably is drier in the summer than Chicago but we do get some pretty heavy rain. The only problem I sometimes get is scorching on the leaves on my Phrags... I've found they have to be grown in pretty heavy shade to avoid this. I simply place the pots under a tree. I like doing this because it is easier to water and fertilize them outside, and they get natural humidity and air movement.
Thank you for responding. I went through and looked at your entire archives. Your flowers are amazing. Such great eye candy!!
