Latest Issue - July 2024

July 2024

This month's issue features a beautifully illustrated article by Olaf Gruss on the hybrids of Paphiopedilum rungsuriyanum. This relatively new, miniature species from Laos is turning out to be a terrific parent. This issue also features an article by Jim Cootes on selected species in Dendrobium section Dendrobium, the first in a series of articles on the many sections of the genus Dendrobium. Nicholas Rust also treats us to a lavishly illustrated article on Habenaria hybrids and how to grow them. Rounding out our July issues is a detailed article on what orchids need for healthy growth written by Rick Lockwood.
