Eric, there was another Paph. Crystelle at the auction. :poke: I can't remember who got it - I think it either went to Massachusetts or Texas. There was something for everyone either at the sales tables or at the auction. People went home with boxes full of orchids. I really wanted...

I will be headed for the airport tomorrow morning before the birds wake up. We have a pretty big group this year, and it's going to be a great symposium. For those who have seen the latest ORCHIDS magazine, the author of the article with all those magnificent photos on Paph...

Please keep trying. This is one of the most beautiful plants and flowers I have ever seen. Next time it flowers, if you could just try facing the east, hop on one foot, and chant your favorite mantra, while pollinating with a pure ivory toothpick, maybe - just maybe - there will be seed.

For those who are wondering, Paph. Lyro Blackhawk = Paph. (Saint Swithin x wilhelminiae).

I'm going to try to remember this, because this is wisdom we should all live by.

I was already thinking of this situation before I got to John's post. Absolutely infuriating. Here's the link for anyone who wants to be appalled: FedEx delivery is only getting worse....

Are we sure that it's primary? It looks to me like it has a little more going for it.

So do we! It would be wonderful to have you here.

(Since my counting failure in the title of the previously posted thread [It's the 14th, NOT the 13th] cannot be corrected, I thought it would be appropriate to create this new, updated topic.) When: November 3, 2012 Where: Howard Johnson Plaza Altamonte Springs Orlando North Sponsored by...

My gosh, the guy who made that first post in Peter's link is a real blowhard! The Phal. violacea in pic #7 won a CCM/AOS. Everyone might want to check out that last photo with the glorious cut flower grown by Orchidaceae - it's Paph. Wössner Vietnam Star (rothschildianum x vietnamense)...

Depends on how long ago the AOS awards you are looking for were issued. OrchidWiz has a killer comparison chart for measurements of awarded plants, but if you are looking specifically for AOS awards, I don't believe OrchidWiz has added any new AOS award data in the last couple years. Awards...

No, not really. They've always been eager and able to destroy just about anything I plant. They're not quite as bad as the goats yet, but close. It's not unusual to look back and see one or two following the tractor 15-20 feet behind. I got home from a trip to the store the other day and there...

I don't think we quite made it to 80F in my part of town, but now that the nights are FINALLY forecast to be above 50F, I finished planting my veggie seeds today - JULY 7!! If they weren't Winter hardy, I wouldn't even have bothered.

Captain Renault: "I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED to find gambling going on in here!" Croupier: "Your winnings, sir." Captain Renault: "Oh, Thank you very much! Everybody out at once!" Casablanca (1942)

That's a good comparison. As I recall New Jersey is the OTHER state where you're not allowed to fuel your own vehicle. At least you couldn't when I was there for the Eastern Orchid Congress in 1989. Oh... and there is that sales tax thing...

Isn't HP70 the cross that produced that giant pink I saw a while back?? You had dozens and dozens of big beautiful complex paphs all lined up on a bench in several tiers like soldiers at attention, and I remember taking a glance and blurting out, "What is THAT!!??!" Is that the one?

Nothin' worse than uneducated frogs!

Once you think you have the whole patience thing under control, you need to get yourself a Paph. malipoense.
