Introducing Paphiopedilum Belgian Sunshine

I pollinated a Paphiopedilum Maudiae in January 2021 with pollen from Paphiopedilum Ma Folie. In August, I cut off a fruit. In September, I sent the fruit to The Orchids Lab for seeding, received it back in August 2022, and potted it. In October 2024, I discovered three flower buds. and in November 2024 they opened, allowing me to register it as a new hybrid, and gave it the name Paphiopedilum Belgian Sunshine.

I named it after the rare meteorological condition that allowed the specimens to flower in such a short time.

Obligatory mention of the novel [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schild%27s_Ladder](Schild's Ladder) by Greg Egan.

Such a scenario would be interesting indeed.

Why is German "doubly derived" from Swiss German?

And why prefix German with "standard" when this is not done for other languages?

Did you have special permission to go inside the greenhouse will all the suculents? When I went there it was not open to the public

You can have as many C-F bonds as you want i a single molecule, but not in a chain, because F will be connected to only a single C.

a chain of incredibly strong carbon-fluorine bonds

Pedantic mode: The longest chain of C-F bonds you can have has length two.

I think that's only used in Chinese and Japanese, so that °C occupies as much space as a Chinese/Japanese character.

Oh no. It just means I bought it already in bloom, then the flowers wilted, and then some time later it bloomed again. So really I'm just bragging that I managed to make it bloom again.

Everybody knows you can factorize out the sum in the denominator because it doesn't depend on j (It's just a normalization factor)
