Thank you Rick! 🙂 I am over the moon with this orchid! Specially that it's such a rarity in the UK and Europe!

Your bloom is gorgeous! It would be a magnificent show when all the buds open. I never had one but would like one if I find a good plant. Thanks for sharing and happy growing 😂

Thank you 💚. I would love more iwanagaras as they are all different really.... I know that they are very popular in the states but so hard to find in the UK! I might look into importing ....

Totally agree, one can not have enough of Iwanagaras, I have four and love every single one of them. What media is yours potted in ?

It's lava rocks. I find they grow the best in it. I am still on a lookout for more iwanagara. Particularly the yellow one 😍

Congrats on flowering this one, persistence paid off😊. How did you get rid of the scale?

Thank you! I didnt get rid of scale. The other two iwanagaras succumbed to it. This one was kept in a totally different room so never got infested.... shame as Ioved the other ones. Specially my yellow

@@gardenfullofcolour Ah that's too bad. If you are watering with RO or rainwater, I think that something like Calmag might be useful to help prevent scale and other infestations.
