Very fine roth David. I s this the one we chatted about?

Nice villosum Rudolf. I don't have this species anymore i do have a gratrix but it hasn't bloomed since I got, probably 8 yrs. What's the trick?

I must say David I take a little pride as if I were a distant uncle watching you post this plant over the years from a small fry to this beautiful monster that it is today. Congrats on your culture!

I have a different cross from Sam I picked up in February. It's been growing fine with the addition of the last two leaves. The new fan is 20+ inches

Great to clear this up

The 'Ebon' clone was the Stewart Orchid firm out of LA, California's plant and they were the first to start the vini breeding. Norris Powell owner of the Orchid House indeed had the clone 'Jac' but its my understanding the Jac clone was a "flame" vini. In other words, the dorsal still had a rim...

If memory serves me, I think it was Harold Koopowitz who raised this paph to species rank. Prior to that it was considered a callosum vinicolored. The problem still exists today in that there were only three maybe four clones ever discovered. People had/have a hard time excepting viniferum as a...
