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.

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)

It's when going up the Sky 100 Observation Deck in Hong Kong

Btw, there were also a few Vandas, a even less Dendrobiums if I recall correctly

The Longest Journey

Thanks for the recommendation! I have a long list of games I want to play make graphs from, and I just checked and that game already on it. So one day, it should come

Exactly, it's the Venetian in Macau

Surprisingly, I didn't smell anything, even though it is supposed to smell.
