Very good. $60. 20180930_144446 by WEST VIC, on Flickr

This was placed on the sales table at a Spring Show last weekend. Something in me said "buy it" even though my Paph collection has dwindled over the last few years. I actually bought 3 Paphs for the weekend. Others in bud but some time away. 20181003_105542 by WEST VIC, on Flickr

Still recorded as Paph. villosum var boxallii. atrata/attratum not referred to in any way. Kew list of Monocots.

I'm pleased with it, no prob's there. P''d off about the name but not as much as the bloke I bought it of I reckon. He would not be happy.

Ok, getting closer to truth. This "isn't" P. villosum var. annamense. I've been able to read a paper on P. villosum in Vietnam which included pictures of the known varieties & variants. It appears that this one is as close as possible to P. villosum var villosum which in turn, has variants...

Thanks folks, very pleased with them. Good thing is I have 3 more seedlings yet to flower !!

Here is something to consider, according to the net, there seems to be 8 forms of annamense, only one according to early paintings & description is correct & "doesn't" match this one. Pics on the net come from Commercial & top line growers whom I would have thought, knew the difference. Some...

Too much going on. I keep looking here but not posting.

2 x 1st flowering seedlings which I think I'll be flowering a few times more. 20180325_174220 by WEST VIC, on Flickr 20180328_141736 by WEST VIC, on Flickr

Oldie but goodie. Not every plant of this flowers this well, why I don't know. Used it in breeding last year, pod looked good. 20180405_115708 by WEST VIC, on Flickr

Well, as a surprise to myself & probably others I'm posting a Paph in flower. I bought it in bud a short while ago because of its somewhat rarity. My collection is starting to get going again so hopefully I will be able to post Paphs & Phrags again. 20180405_115157 by WEST VIC, on Flickr

Yep. Part boxallii & part something else.

Correct on both accounts. There are a few new ones around, they don't have the spike & flowers to this extent. The spikes are shorter but the flowers are twice or more the size, rounded & quite filled in. Not cheap though & not quick growers.

A 1st flowering seedling. I now have 4 of these that look very similar & are of similar qualities. Still can't get the depth of colour correct. 20171102_110933 by WEST VIC, on Flickr

Flowering again, never ceases to please. 20171028_153703 by WEST VIC, on Flickr

Doesn't only happen in the USA. A book could be written on decisions made here in the last few years.

1st flowering seedling of this plant. Nice species. Comparison of flower size, my thumb & fingers. 20171018_141602 by WEST VIC, on Flickr

Thanks folks.
