In his book, Tropical Slipper Orchids, Harold Koopowitz reports that Terry Root sibbed pale forms of Hanne Popow, and some of the progeny were pure white. A photo is included. See page 368.

You've got some real beauties there. Thanks for sharing i wish that I, too, lived within driving distance of Hills view Gardens. I would be broke, but happy!

Gorgeous! Well done.

The Windsor Castle was purchased as a seedling on eBay a couple years ago. Thanks all for the kind comments. Just researched the label - it was from Monsoon Orchids Flora - look like they are no longer in business.

This is Paph. Albion 'Wyld Court' FCC/RHS, an "oldie but goodie". One of my first orchids, it was purchased at Rod Mclellan nursery in the late 60's. Cheers, Paul

Beautiful and well grown. Nice job!

The color of this flower really stands out among my other plants. This is the third bloom. The leaves on the flower stem haven't appeared previously... Back lighting: Throwing in this photo of La Vingtaine. It illustrates the slight color break I'm seeing in a few of my Phrags. My night...

I received this Phrag. caricinum (?) from Windy Hill:

Stunning flower!

Love all of them - good job!

Paph. fairrieanum ('stunning' x 'Hillsview' FCC/AOS): I really like the dark color of this one. Not quite as nice as the pollen parent, but one of the best I have bloomed. Good growing, Paul

Well done!

Two plants carrying two blooms today: Phrag. Ouaisne Phrag. caricinum Cheers and good growing, Paul

That's a nice group of my favorite species. Well done...Maybe one day you will have a group like this one from The Orchid review - January 1910: Cheers, Paul

Lovely flower and so well grown -- kudos!
