    The Tiny Jungle debut

    I've already spent the two million - perhaps the next million can be mine and mine alone! (not true, of course - only in the thousands, not yet the millions)

    Hello and hi there.

    Welcome from San Francisco, Lord_Paph! you are going to have fun here! How is your new Paph today? Send us a picture! Be sure not to overwater, underwater (crazy yet?) and be sure not to get it too near any direct sun other than earlyish in the morning. We all killed some early Paphs, so...

    The Tiny Jungle debut

    Thanks, everyone! MorandiWine, looking forward to meeting you, too! Thanks, JeanLux! And Daniel, I believe I only have the hybrid of Paph. sukhakulii aureum 'Paleface.' I have several historic Paphs from Golden Gate Orchids' closing. I asked Tom to point out all his historic Paphs for me. I...

    Choose either "I have met" or "I know" for the beginning of the last sentence! Such silliness....

    Paph William Ambler x PEOY

    Terrific flowers! I must seek one of these out! What is the name of the cross? Did you get it directly from Shin-Yi?

    Eumelia Arias

    The nice thing is that after this flower should come another! It could be better!

    A disappointing outcome

    Hey, Gary, count yourself among the diligent and successful! Keep it for sure, after all that effort. Let it mature.

    International Paph Breeding Trends

    OK - so that went pffftt! Apart from the envy of countries not under strict CITES, I'd love to hear from you about specifics! In the realm of multis, for instance, is the only thing everyone is looking for the dark dorsals? Wider dorsals? Longer long petals? In parvis, is the only matter at...

    International Paph Breeding Trends

    Hi, all! I'm going to give a brief overview of the current state of Paph hybridization for a local orchid society here and would enjoy input from as many of you as possible on what your top few trends would be. Quote specific hybrids, breeders, etc. This should be fun!

    Made up a list of plants.....

    Oh, John, I'm so sorry that you are going through all this unavoidable torture! It is such a long process to heal from, I know. My thoughts are with you and I will keep you in mind for healing energies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    What is this?

    The first thing I would do is to repot the plant, carefully getting rid of all the old media. I would then dip it in a solution of Physan 20 for about half an hour. The plant looks to me as if it is rotting from the bottom up. The surface damage may be incidental. First find out what the...
