Nice collection! You've got some nice crosses, as well as the species.. :)

What a great greeny yellow on your flava! Wonderful!!

I think that sound like a really sensible plan. I think 7 days for bidding, just in case 'life' intervenes and someone isn't around just in time... I have a plant or two that I can donate for those on 'this side of the pond'. I'll have a look at the next watering and let you know.

How could you ever be a pest with such pretty pictures of Paphs?! I hope you enjoyed yourself, Jim!

Fantastic growing! Great plants & wonderful photos. I live the shot of the back of Eric Young - really nice light in that one!

Very nice! Congrats!

Nice photos, Jim! The petals on that Mount Fallu are really something!

Time for another update!! New plants are in bold My prized new update is vietnamense alba. It was at the Bournmouth Orchid Society 50th Anniversary sale. I was there early on Saturday judging, and couldn't pass this up for the price... much less than I have seen it for elsewhere...

I am always confused about these plants... primulinum, Pinocchio and Avalon Mist all seem to overlap! Is there a reliable way to distinguish between them? Compare Jim's Pinocchio with Eric's Avalon Mist: http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10897 Then compare those with...

Very beautiful, Dot! I have a division of Saint Peter 'Cornish Cream' - I think I need to go check it now!!

Very nice, Jim! Good luck at the show!

I like a 'cloud of paphs' - really conveys a nice mental image! PS. a flush of plumbers is too perfect a description ;)

Stunning! And really great photos, as always!

Rick, I'm interested as well in what you see that tips you off to that particular parent. Given the size, I would be inclined to agree with you, too. Mark, I can't wait until this one opens! As you will have your's in flower too, we can compare. Do you have any photos from a previous blooming?

Glad you brought some of them back to the UK! I hope that my Christiana Richards (Conco-bellatulum ‘Butterball’ x malipoense ‘Legionnaire’) turns out as nice as this one! ;)

:) But I can just imagine a 'brace of Brassia' or a 'gang of Gongora'.... I know, I'm odd. :rollhappy:

'A Plate of Pleurothallids' ... sounds like a great new collective noun! They have herd of cattle, tower of giraffes, array of hedgehogs, etc. (see: http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/gswithenbank/collnoun.htm for more really good ones!) Any suggestions for Paphs?:rollhappy:

Have already done! First time I was able to come home from an orchid society meeting with LESS plants than what I took with me! TPBM is looking forward to a nice curry for lunch!

Nice new additions! That's a lovely Phrag, no matter what the name. And those are some great Pleuros that you picked! Congrats!

Fantastic photo! Great growing! This is a nice species - the leaves are super when grown in lower light - they get that silvery sheen to them.
