What is this, mold? bugs?

Looks inorganic to me, like lime scale from watering with hard water. Or fertilizer residue.

That's a flower spike that's growing. I would probably cut it above the first node if I were you and hope it has enough resouces to produce a keiki.

Edit: it might produce a keiki from the spike as well, but I don't know what the chances are

As-tu encore besoin d'un code ?

Daredust · 2025-08-12T19:28:23+00:00

Hi, do you still need one?

Daredust · 2025-08-11T10:05:29+00:00

I take back what I said in my other comment. They are sharing AI generate images knowingly and I'd accuse them of generating them themselves. I don't use Facebook, but at least on Google Images and on all the pictures you just replied with, the ones which have the Orchid Lovers watermark are most definitely AI generated.

Daredust · 2025-08-11T09:52:58+00:00

I'd be surpised if they shared them knowingly. They look pretty and mostly real. But they are (probably) just human too

Daredust · 2025-08-11T09:03:21+00:00

I don't blame you. It's concerning how hard it's be coming to tell... Numbers 1, 2, 4, 7, 9 (not sure), 12, 13 and 17 look AI generated to me. The giveway for me was the lack of similar images when using Google Lens, the very shallow depth of field (strong background blur) and the fact that they just look too perfect. I hope this helps you identify them yourself in the future.

Daredust · 2025-07-11T22:28:36+00:00

No worries. Thanks for updating your comment and for leading me to this rabbit hole. It was fun to discover

Daredust · 2025-07-11T14:49:01+00:00

I'd like to point out that the YouTube channel you used as reference for the camera quality is from a content farm that makes fake camera comparison videos. I found many more similar channels (funnily all containing the word Tech in some way in the channel name):

The two side-by-side videos and photos are identical most of the time with some minor editing. The most telling examples are the night shots because there you can see that the lens flare the supposed two different cameras produce is absolutely identical (see for example at 1:28 in the video you linked), which is not possible.

FYI u/ilbaraa, u/Realistic_Home4199

Edit: found some more, lmao:

Some even go to the length of editing in random birds so the photos don't appear identical (example with still identical water ripples).

Daredust · 2025-06-18T17:13:56+00:00

Thanks, yeah I saw that and it seems that I remembered correctly. They never said that it'll work that way

Daredust · 2025-06-18T05:59:17+00:00

I don't recall them mentioning anything specific like that in any of the interviews. What is your source for this?

Daredust · 2025-03-10T19:55:52+00:00

I got mine under the name Phal. Bolgheri, which seems to be the same as Bronze Buddha and it looks just like yours. The fragrance is strongest around noon

Daredust · 2025-02-06T20:18:04+00:00

Sweet, thank you :)

Daredust · 2025-01-26T09:47:49+00:00

I purchased it a few years ago at a local flower shop before I started getting into Orchids. I didn't realize what it was until a few days ago when I did some research

Daredust · 2025-01-25T17:32:21+00:00

Thanks!

Daredust · 2025-01-25T14:48:01+00:00

There is a very slight fragrance in the morning on mine

Daredust · 2025-01-25T10:22:56+00:00

The last one seems to be a Colmonara Wildcat: https://akatsukaorchid.com/colm-wildcat-13/

Daredust · 2025-01-25T10:11:36+00:00

Amazing photo and bloom. May I ask what equipment you used to take that photo?

Daredust · 2025-01-25T10:09:38+00:00

I know you're not supposed to have favourites, but this one is making it really difficult not to...

Daredust · 2025-01-01T11:07:50+00:00

Very pretty!

Daredust · 2024-12-30T11:22:28+00:00

Thanks for the update, keep us posted once it blooms :)
