PM sent! I have 2 divisions from other sources- this would be a great add to the potential gene pool when I make a sib cross.

Good question and I honestly do not know. The good news is the plant has put out a massive new growth and so next season I can have a closer look. I am glad I finally got the lighting right with these big Paphs- doing better with them than ever in the home.

First bloom on a very small one growth plant, so overall size not of concern. I have not seen a ton of these, but while the dorsal can be a bit fuller in the best examples I think the flatness and presentation of the dorsal are first rate (and frankly I like the dorsal just as it is - a nice...

I have never heard anything to suggest he ever had anything other than honorable intentions. The unfortunate thing for him, and many others like him, is that regulatory agencies are often quite underfunded relative to the level of political pressure on them to maintain a certain level of...

Well said Frank. This dark chapter in the modern history of Paphiopedilums is one I had buried deep in my mind, and I did not even think on it until I read your post tonight. I did not know George Norris- but that story is a cautionary tale about knowing a business and its risks fully before...

Thanks everyone- we are now officially sold out. For a couple of you that had items of interest pending replies to questions, all questions have been answered and everything you had on reservation is still yours to consider and take or reject in the next couple of days. A botanical garden will...

Good evening all, It has been an eventful couple of months since I took delivery of my last parcel of Orchid Inn flasks and seedlings- I turned 50 yesterday (yikes!) and another field promotion happened on the career front now that we are making a major acquisition. To top it all off, the OI...

I have compots- MK remake and sib cross of two MK clones.

Just 2 venustum. With all the OI plants I have on hand at the moment, I did not have room for much of anything- but when I saw that sib cross I could not pass it up.

Flasks received today. Impeccable packaging and plants of ideal rooting and size. I have been growing orchids for over 40 years and buying Paph flasks for about 20 years. The flasks I got today were on par with the best I have ever received from Orchid Inn- which has for me been consistently as...

I think you have it exactly right. Since COVID, at the Dallas shows we have had one of the big aroid vendors come in to sell. It was a great boost for foot traffic and brought lots of cross-sales, but at this last show the prices were down dramatically for those plants as were the number of...

Sam sent out his final flask list on Sunday night to a handful of people and that was the last of them. It was almost 20 years ago that I approached him and started buying his flasks and publishing online my various Chronicles as by trial and error I tried to develop a practical approach to...

Looks like we are sold out. Many thanks everyone! Best, Tom.

Good evening all- quick update, thank you for requests so far. I have messaged all who placed orders - appreciate you very much! For reference to potential buyers - at this time there 12 plants remaining, 6 of each cross. Best, Tom.

Magnificent flowering!

Good evening all, This listing is for 15 plants each of the following Orchid Inn seedlings. Established in their pots, Sam had not yet put them on the website- but had been selling them for $50 each in the 16-20cm size. These are all that size or a good bit larger. Note this is the first of...

Good evening all, This listing is for 6 plants each of the following SVO seedlings. Established in 2 inch pots with a new growth since purchased. These sold out fast when originally offered. C. aclandiae 'Gulfgade' AM/AOS x 'Verde' AM/AOS C. trianiae 'Mary Fennell' HCC/AOS x 'Cashens' FCC/AOS...

About a month ago I took bare root delivery of all of Sam's remaining sanderianums- and with the warning there were root issues and a fair price to match FWIW. It was an unusual situation and I have the backstory - but the good news is it is reversible. And many of the ones I have are far worse...

Great looking venustum sib cross! Email sent- thank you for posting the list here.

I have not yet purchased from Paph Paradise- but look forward to doing so. Truth be told, the few vendors I have bought from/worked with over the past 20+ years covered my every need, and so I never had to go looking for new sources. With the news of the past year, I will be seeking new sources...
