This states very well what probably crossed many readers' minds. It's not easy to be certain about much beyond the section with these cochlos and others such as charlesworthii, spicerianum, leucochilum and many, many other super line-bred species. There are many cases of haphazard labeling, but...

Just wanted to share this photo I found waiting on my phone this morning. I'm sorry, I don't know who the grower is, but I'm sure we'll find out as more information comes forth. Everyone I have heard from says it is a wonderful show.

That is a beautifully-grown plant.

As you pointed out, other complex crosses with Paph. fairrieanum as one parent such as Paph. Surprise Creek and Paph. Ali Taba have produced smallish cultivars that seem point in the direction of miniature complex breeding, so it seems reasonable to expect this cross to produce similar results...

Eric's gonna need a bigger stove.

Frank's greenhouses will be bursting with orchids, Peter will be a big hit and everyone loves Mainshow Chen because, aside from being one of the nicest people in the world, Mr. Chen comes loaded with awesome slippers AND phals. He will be speaking about multi-floral paphs this year.

Absolutely! Full Slipper Symposium registration includes all the presentations as well as the Preview Party for the show on Thursday evening. Registration this year will be online and that URL will be provided just as soon as the registration page is available. Oh - and I think everyone is...

I suspect the second one would catch most people's eye first. In addition to the markings, what strikes me right off the bat is the variation in the two staminodes.

It is not gossip, Bob - it's true! This year's Symposium will be held in conjunction with the Fall AOS members meeting. The Saturday schedule of speakers, plant sales, BBQ and Auction will be largely familiar to regular attendees, but in addition there will be speaker presentations of a more...

The plant looks very happy and the flower is beautiful. 'Emily' is named for Emily Clarkson, one of the most giving and wonderful people to ever be involved in the orchid world. This magnificent flower is a fitting reminder as to how special she and her husband, Jim, were.

Wouldn't it be great to visit Hilo Orchid Farm, yourself? Check out the Paphiopedilum Guild meeting that will take place in Hilo this coming January: 59th Paphiopedilum Guild & First World Slipper Orchid Conference

From the information document that accompanied the 11.0 upgrade: "OrchidWiz is moving to Colorado in June. For all questions, concerns and support issues contact us via email at [email protected]". Maybe their U-Haul doesn't have wi-fi.

We understand. At the risk of opening old wounds... Some of us still remember several years ago paying big bucks for what were supposed to be Paph. sanderianum seedlings, and how it felt after years of waiting and passing up other acquisition opportunities, to have those highly...

Have gotten great germination from capsules left for 18 months and still harvested green. Not sure exactly when they finally turn brown because I've never let one go that long.

Yes, I saw this two volume set at the Mid-America show in Bloomington this past weekend and they are excellent. I bought a set from one of the vendors at the show, John Ingram of Ingram's Better Orchid Books. He'll have more at Redland for those who are going and want to have a look.

EFG does that. Makes theirs one of the most popular tents at the festival.

How does that work for people who grow orchids on the kitchen stove?

Snake oil, indeed. I saw this on the shelf at a hardware store in Arizona. First glance at the ingredients makes one wonder whether the mission is to send the snake slithering away, or to soothe its toothache.

Are people quite convinced that this hybrid is even primary? Many primaries have been suggested from which that flower _OR_ that foliage might result, but so far it has been difficult to imagine a primary cross that could be expected to create the whole package.

One of the more unusual things we saw at the Taiwan International Orchid Show earlier this month. It wasn't displayed with the regular show entries, so it didn't have a name on it. Someone associated with the show told me they were quite sure it was Paph. Saint Swithin. Whatever it is, it's one...
